The Pommery Champagne Bar

-
Last  week myself and my two friends decided to try out The Pommery Champagne Cafe Bar in the Signet Library just off the Royal Mile. It’s just a pop up for the festival but there will be another restaurant to fill the space after August. My friend’s uncle is the chef there so we were fortunate enough to receive VIP cards to get discount on our meal and some free champagne courtesy of  him too. Although The Champagne Bar is quite expensive, the food there is absolutely gorgeous and definitely worth going to treat yourself! They have champagne cocktails, burgers and lobster to take your fancy so head along soon to enjoy it before the end of the festival.

Asian Adventures - Sihanoukville, Cambodia

We had an interesting tuk tuk ride from the centre of Sihanoukville out to our hotel. We arrived in the centre about 7.30pm and our hotel was 15 minutes outside the main town, near Otres Beach. Sihanoukville is a beach town with their most famous beach being Serendipity Beach. If you travel further along the coast you would come to Otres Beach where we were staying. We flagged down a tuk tuk and the driver said he knew where our hotel, Sok Sabay Resort was. He in fact did not, neither did he speak much English. We spent over an hour trying to find our hotel as the driver kept stopping to have a look at the map on my phone or ask people for directions along the way. As we became closer to the hotel there begin to be less and less people going about and soon it became just the tuk tuk driver and us on dark woodland tracks. I was genuinely thinking we were never going to get there or he was going to drive us into the woods, rob us and just leave us there! Thankfully, ...

The Chocolate Lounge, Harvery Nichols

As a student I don't always have the money to go out to the most expensive places in Edinburgh. However, as a late mother's day present my sister and myself decided to treat our mum to some goodies at The Chocolate Lounge inside the department store Harvey Nichols. Harvey Nichols is situated in St. Andrews Square in the centre of the city.   The idea of  The Chocolate Lounge is similar to the Yo Sushi set up. Everyone sits round a counter with the waiters in the middle making up your orders. There's a conveyor belt running in front of you with a selection of food from the menu. Although, unlike Yo Sushi you can't help yourself from the conveyor you have to just order from the waiter. The menu is filled with all kinds of chocolate treats including fondues, sundaes and different cakes, as well as wine, prosecco and champagne that could be enjoyed along with your desserts. I would definitely recommend this as somewhere to go...

Asian Adventures - Phnom Penh, Cambodia

The quickest and smoothed border crossing we had was from Vietnam into Cambodia. We travelled from Ho Chi Minh City to Phnom Penh with the bus company Cambodia Luong. The whole border experience was pretty much stress free. We had been dreading each journey that had a border crossing as we knew that meant hanging about waiting ages in queues to get your stamp for leaving a country and your visa for entering the next. It worked out great as our bus company basically did everything for us. We gave our passports and visa payment of $35 to our guide on the bus and he filled out the forms for us and handed our passports in to the immigration officers. All we had to do was go up to the Vietnam immigration when they called our name to show we were leaving the country. All in all, it only took us about half an hour which was such a relief! Our journey into Phnom Penh was absolutely fine. We arrived into the city centre and got a tuk tuk to our hote...
