I had just landed in KL after 3 days in Penang for the research of my “Rebecca Penang Halal Guide”.
My hometown was so busy; some roads on the island were jammed up all day and the UNESCO heritage site in Georgetown had swarms of people on every street, every junction and most are locals!

No doubt many were back in Penang to celebrate the festivals with their families. For the elderly, it is probably the only opportunity to see and hug their young ones. At a recent open house, there were 6 generations of the family tree in a house!
It was heart warming to witness the cheers and strong family bonds of my friends’ families. Many had posted on their Instagram and Facebook of their reunion dinners and card games and the fireworks sessions.
I was all warm and fuzzy inside still when I got back to KL.

However this message on this billboard on the Federal Highway gave me a jolt.

Visiting pandas in Chengdu is a must. If you haven’t seen the pandas, then you haven’t been to Chengdu. Or so it seems that way. “Panda tourism” is big business in China. Each year hundreds of thousands of people (both local and foreign) visit the country’s world famous centre in Chengdu. a city about 2,000km southwest of Beijing.

As some of you may know, I call myself thenomadGourmand. A nomad describes a person that is wanderlust, traveling, never at one place for a fixed period or for a long duration. I’m a “nomadGourmand” cos I travel to seek for good food and to experience extraordinary cuisines.

The Nomad Offices. How does that work?

The same principle applies. It refers to having an office for the traveling entrepreneur, businessman. A virtual office gives you a professional address, receptionist, business centre and meeting facilities without the costs of a permanent office, making it suitable for home-based businesses, freelancers, international offices wanting to establish a local presence, and start-ups.
