![[THAILAND] oo5.H Bistro @ Hansar Samui](https://viktoriajean.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/dscn4409.jpg?w=1024)
I’m hella fortunate to have Thai friends who know all the best hideouts and dining places. While waiting for a couple more friends to touchdown in Koh Samui, we dined at the beachfront H Bistro at Hansar Resort. Its French Mediterranean menu boasts the likes of grilled Hokkaido Scallops, pan-roasted Miyazaki sirloin, smoked duck prosciutto,…

[THAILAND] oo4.Beyond The Sea, Siamese Brasserie
![[THAILAND] oo4.Beyond The Sea, Siamese Brasserie](https://viktoriajean.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/dscn4339.jpg?w=1024)
The entire week spent in Koh Samui, we basically feasted all day long on authentic Thai food and fresh-from-the-ocean seafood. The high tides plus bad weather made it nearly impossible for water-sports, so we cancelled our initial plans to take the open-sea scuba-diving license exams. On our first morning we drove to ShaSa Resort for…

Island Life: Maldives
Blogging from the island of Samet, Thailand, and I’m dying show y’all pictures of the sun, sand and sea! This would have to wait till I’m back in civilisation. For the moment, my Maldives pictures would have to suffice. Cheers everybody and have a great week ahead! ❤ xoxo, Viktoria Jean

Rathaus Glockenspiel, Munich
What comes to mind when you think of Munich? Longchamp and Rimowa!! And well, for me it’s the Marienplatz clock tower. This grandeur never fails to give me the chills! My goal next year is to photograph the Rathaus Glockenspiel in Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. So far, I’ve only done Summer and Autumn. xoxo,…

London Lovin’: Vintage Shopfronts
Shops like these you’ll never find them in Asia. Especially where I come from, space is so constrained that anything below 3-floors will be extinct in the next 5 years or so. Baffled by re-modelling works of architecture in the European cities where its aesthetic appeal lies in its vintage houses! Swarovski is sandwiched between…

London Lovin’: Enroute Farringdon
Can anyone tell me where this place is? Was in a rush to meet a friend at Farringdon, and now I’m dying to know where this is! Could be somewhere near Hammersmith as I was in the area. Please let me know and you’ll get cupcakes from me, pinky swear 🙂 xoxo, Viktoria Jean

London Lovin’: Old Bailey
Chanced upon the Central Criminal Court, commonly known as Old Bailey, in West End London. In the book A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, it is the courthouse where Charles Darnay is put on trial for treason. In the beginning of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Joshamee Gibbs is tried in…

London Lovin’: Time is Immemorial
One thing I’ve come to realise about most European cities: they have clocks or clock towers in almost every street. War Memorials too, it seems they value their history as much as time is immemorial. Says a lot about its people being proud of their history. xoxo, Viktoria Jean

London Lovin’: City Grandeur
Overeager to see everything on my first trip to London, I took to exploring West End on foot. My fingers were working the shutter overtime, attempting to capture everything. Which I soon realised was impossible! Damn, the rush to see it all wasn’t worth it. Why click fast and leave for another touristy scene, only…

London Lovin’: Oxford Circus
Stepping out from London Underground is like entering a different realm, and it did feel that way to me, exiting Oxford Circus Station. Topshop, Selfridges, Marks & Spencer, John Lewis, HMV, Debenhams have their flagship stores on this street. Each year, Oxford Street is decorated with festive lights. Each Christmas, a celebrity turns on the…

London Lovin’: Dominion
Who is that powerful god? Is it one of the Bohemians? Is it Galileo? 268-269 Tottenham Court Rd, London W1T 7AQ, United Kingdom

![[THAILAND] oo2.Island Lovin’](https://viktoriajean.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/dscn1000.jpg?w=1024)
Headed for Thailand’s Koh Samui with my favourite travel pals in exactly 3 days’!! ❤ So stoked about scuba-diving, and living the island life in my friends’ resort. Also can’t wait to start partying at the local hotspots on Chaweng Beach. On our last trip to Koh Samet, another offshore party island in the Gulf of Thailand,…

London Lovin’: Wafflemeister
Amidst the London rush hour, the lost tourist a.k.a Viktoria Jean was trying to get to the ice-cream store just across the street on South Kensington. At 6pm in the evening, walking against the crowd is no easy feat. Everybody seems to be dashing somewhere, moving fast ahead with their lives, going with the incessant…

London Lovin’: Just another day
I’m in a new city, all wide-eyed amazement, and the locals are like yea whatever, same old shit everyday! The perks of globetrekking: it’s never gonna be just another day to me. xoxo, Viktoria Jean

London Lovin’: St Pancras Station
Across the road from King’s Cross Platform 9¾, and a Eurostar ride away from Paris! Apparently has “Europe’s longest champagne bar, shops, restaurants and cafès” which baffled me because I didn’t notice. Loving the architectural majesty and grandeur of the station. xoxo, Viktoria Jean
