I’m just a JAFA… but I miss those Cones… #Auckland
I grew up in Auckland, the largest city in New Zealand. It’s located on the North Island and one of the main international landing points for those venturing to New Zealand’s humble shores. Before I go on you’re probably thinking “What on earth is a JAFA?” Well technically I am, and anyone else who grew up … Continue reading
Toy Hunting in Taipei, Taiwan for Transformers
I know how lucky I am to live in a city abundant in relatively easy access to toys, especially for collectors. However it isn’t the only place in Asia renown for toys.

Victoria Park is one of the main hubs for Mid Autumn Festival … Continue reading
Interesting Angles @ Hong Kong 3D Museum…
One of the more recent museums to open in Hong Kong is the 3D museum in Tsim Sha Tsui. The sprogs and I are always keen to explore things from a different perspective so we ventured over to check it out. The 3D museum seems to be a private venture rather than run by the … Continue reading
Optimus Strange Stuff…
Movies draw out some interesting marketing campaigns and affiliated products but these little gems my husband picked up for me on a recent visit to South Korea have to take the cake. What are they you ask? Officially licensed Transformers branded beauty hydro gel masks for men. Not masks you wear around in public using your Peter … Continue reading
