Passed the Easter holiday in the neighborhood country Spain in their capital, aka the city of Madrid 🇪🇸. Enjoyed tons of tapas, great park, friendly people, and most amazingly the awesome museums. Now I am ready to go home, satisfied and happy 🧡

What a horrible thing happened?! No clue what was the reason but the motorcycles parked around the Via Marzzetta were all burned 😵

A Sunday with very strange weather: rain and sun kept coming and going, leaving us not knowing what to wear exactly 😵

Beautiful view but NEGATIVE experience 😡 Bought the tickets to visit Palazzo Vecchio days ago and today I decided to go and climb the tower. However the online ticket system is coincidentally offline today, which made impossible to access my ticket online, so I went to the ticket office inside the palace. The lady who looked like that she was so busy and couldn’t handle one additional task anymore but in fact she had nobody in front of her counter before my arrival took a quick look at my email confirmation of the ticket and said “sorry we can’t do anything. You have to download the tickets.” “Yes, but your system is off!” “...... sorry, but you have to download it before.” With a easy shrug, she didn’t even bother to check my email confirmation and see if she can find any record in her system to help me issue a paper ticket. Just repeat that “it is your fault because you didn’t download your ticket” is a VERY PROFESSIONAL customer service behavior! And above all the PERFECT representation of the city of Firenze from the face of the city hall! 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 #palazzovecchiotower

Received the book LOST IN FLORENCE by my friend Nardia (@_lostinflorence). It is an awesome travel guidebook of lists of authentic places to eat, drink, shop and to take photos. It is a book gives you recommendations based on your hobbies (such as food, wine, fashion, etc), but also on weather conditions. You can find routes for both sunny or rainy days to explore #yourflorence. It is also a good read for my coffee time ☕️🧡 More info of this book can be found at @hardiegrantbooks

Alright! Tomorrow is another week/ day 🙏🏻🧡

Recently my reading has been focusing on the regulations for the Italian driver license, ohhhh it really has put my basic Italian into a tough test. And to entertain myself a bit, every day after a few hours of study and before heading to pick up kid from school, I’d take a cup of coffee and enjoy some reading of the fiction of the Inspector Bordelli by Marco Vichi. It has been my favorite hour of day ☕️📚 #goodreads

I didn’t realize but it is 1st February already!!!!! To the first day of a new month with some “old” photos of last day of the past one 🧧❄️ #viewfromhome #yourflorence

❄️ It is finally here in #YourFlorence ⛄️

Through back to the winter 2 years ago traveling in Rome. On the scooter we rolled around the city and it was one of a kind experience. If you plan to visit Rome these days and looking for an accommodation, check @thebeehiverome , a hostel near the station which has the best host Linda to welcome you to the city. To get 10% off for stays from January through the end of February use the code StaiAlBorgoWIR when booking your stay. No minimum night required 🎊🇮🇹

Buon anno | Happy New Year to all of you! Look back yesterday with lots of gratitude & look forward with tons of hope 🎈🥂 #hny2019

I started this blog to share my travel snaps of Italy while I was still living in Hong Kong.

Now I have physically moved to Florence, and I hope to share my new life here in this beautiful and unique city. Hope you would join me to see how this Chinese lives in Italy, with a tourist heart ❤
