  • you tube has become some sort of home schooling project for me. I'm finding all sorts of interesting material on stuff thats fascinating me right now. The amount of free high quality information is amazing! Just watching Google Tech Talks is fun! I've found all sorts of vids on biotechnology, mindfulness/awareness, meditation, Oscar de la Renta shows...yum! Forget all those vids of weird folks doing weird stuff!
    
  • Mit kbh: I love this site because I can always find that perfect place for the yummiest chocolate cake, the cheapest and best veggie food, best smoothies, cocktails etc in Copenhagen. The personal reviews by other city lovers and the numerous tags covering anything and everything anyone would be looking for when going out, makes it purrrrfect for discovering special places to spend ones hard earned money :-)
  • Mygazines.com has all sorts of magazines in PDF format online for free! I can get my InStyle, O and Cosmopolitan hit, just like that. It doesn't beat having the magazines in the flesh though, but still love the site.
  • Tripadvisor comes in handy when I travel (been a while now bohooooo). I love sites where one can get reviews from "normal" people rather than from professional reviewers. I usually use it for hotel reviews but the forums are great for finding info on off-the-track places that other people have discovered in cities of interest.
    
  • Meetup.com is great for finding groups of people with like interests. I think its more the trend in the west for people to gather around specific interests...cant seem to find meetup groups in Nairobi lol I think the site is quite handy especially for expatriates as it makes it easy to network with like minded friendly people. With groups like "New in Town"...etc...it suddenly becomes easy to make new friends in a new home city or even meet new people for fun, while visiting a new place.
    
  • CosWeAfrican does a great job of featuring Africans who are doing well in the arts world and seeing as I love Art, Fashion and Design...I love this blog!
  • PirateBay...yup! I'm naughty enough to feature this here. Some of my best life resources came free courtesy of Piratebay :-) hehe
    
  • Then theres all my shopping sites Nordstroms for clothes, Hairsisters for hair stuff and Amazon marketplace for books.
    

Blah blah blah

Fish cakes

Alas a fish cake.

Yet more fish cakes

Guess what ... yeah ... fish cakes.

The end of the fish cakes
