I received a generous package by ' JEJU MAMI'  from  '0.8L Singapore' . I was overjoyed upon receiving it! I am a person who loves munching on snacks while working in the office of while being at home. Jeju Bap-Ssim uses only brown rice without adding any additives such as sweeteners or preservatives, in order to preserve the taste of healthy brown rice. I enjoyed this traditional Korean rice snack   with a cup of tea. A perfect alternative to chips and crackers, it is best eaten with a sprinkle of sugar. You can even try it out by adding seaweed flakes to it! It is definitely a great choice for snacking outdoors or at home. My take: These are great Korean snacks which are better and are a healthier alternative to a high in sugar content candy bar.   Lastly, thanks for sending the products over, and I enjoyed the snacks very much!

My train journey to Rome from La Spezia was about 4-ish hours, and this is the longest train ride for me so far for this trip. We reached Roma Termini Airport at about 1810hrs local time. We booked the hotel w hich required us to walk for about 6-8 mins from the train station (depending on your walking speed!)  We reached the City Centre of Rome where our hotel was located. The Doria Palace Boutique Hotel is a 4 ⭐ classic boutique hotel which is located directly opposite the Basilica of Santa Maria, one of Rome's most important churches. We enjoyed its excellent location as it is pretty near (within walking distance) to the famous attractions such as the Colosseum and Pantheon. Once we checked in to the hotel and after settling down, we went straight out for dinner.  We walked less than 5 mins to reach our dining venue - Trattoria Vecchia Roma . It is a charming and  cozy place, but most importantly, the staff were approachable and friendly and the food prices were affordable.
