Taste Australia Grapes

     It's harvest season for grapes from the Southern Hemisphere which means the Taste Australia campaign is back to entice customers to try and buy beautiful, sweet and crunchy Aussie grapes. Thanks to the diverse geology and unique micro-climates across Australia, grapes are able to enjoy a long production window from November to May. Rich soils, warm summer days, cool nights, and long daylight hours create grapes with intensified sweetness and an eye-catching red, black or green colour. A top tip when selecting green grapes is to choose a bunch with a golden tint as this means they are sweeter in flavour.

     Did you know Australian table grapes can be eaten straight from the bunch? There’s no need to peel or de-seed, just simply rinse before eating and enjoy the taste of an Australian summer. This means grapes are the perfect addition to kids lunchboxes or a go-to snack at work to re-energize and hydrate active bodies, which is especially helpful when you live a busy lifestyle.

Why Funeral Planning Isn’t Just for Old People

     Nobody lives forever. It’s a sad but inevitable fact that we are all going to die someday. And as you might imagine, the business of death and dying is an expensive one. Buying a casket alone can cost up to NZ $10,000. Depending on where you intend to be buried, a burial plot can cost anywhere between NZ $3,000 and NZ $6,000. Once you throw in other costs, like funeral director’s fees, flowers, a hearse and all the expenses associated with a wake, you are looking at a total price tag north of NZ $20,000. That is a lot of money to find, often on very short notice.

     And, if you have not made adequate provision before you die, somebody else is going to have to foot the bill. Yet, very few people plan for their own funerals – just 5% of all Kiwis according to research. And, the vast majority of these people are in their sixties or older. Younger people either do not want to think about it or are so busy with their day-to-day lives that it never occurs to them that funeral planning is something they should start thinking about now.

Our Wonderful Ocean Park Hong Kong Experience via Klook Travel Philippines

     Hong Kong is one of the international destinations that I will highly recommend to families traveling with kids for an awesome vacation. There are so many family and kid-friendly attractions in this country aside from shopping and food tripping. I've been to Hong Kong thrice and I will never get tired of coming back for more vacations in the years to come.

     We celebrated my son's 9th birthday in one of my dream amusement park destinations located in the Southern District of Hong Kong- OCEAN PARK :) It is the second largest in the country and considered as one massive park because it's also a marine park, an oceanarium, an animal theme park in one. We spent half a day at Ocean Park because there was an unexpected typhoon during our visit but there were no regrets because we all had a blast. Sharing our experience, tips, and what to expect at Ocean Park Hong Kong and why it is best to book your tickets online via Klook :)
