The Travelling Squid Travelling awakens the dreamers, thinkers and believers in us. For more information, visit - http:/ In the Malay language, “Sotong” is the word for squid.

In case you’re wondering why this blog is named after a Squid, here’s why. And according to the Coxford Singlish dictionary (I’m Singaporean), “sotong” is used to describe someone as rather inept or in a world of his own. Presumably, it comes from the squid’s emission of a cloud of ink, hence the popular phrase, “blur like sotong.”

And that’s how I would describe myself, when I first started trav

elling at 19 years old and survived a 6 month long trip to India. I then travelled the word, sometimes alone and sometimes with friends. There are many things I learnt the hard way due to inexperience, from getting a brain freeze after washing my hair in negative temperatures in Kashmir, to improvising socks for gloves in the cold winter’s day of Vietnam, or being a bed bug victim after a solo trip to India.

After a long hiatus, here's a post about a great taco place at downtown NYC. The tacos are really good and taste pretty authentic!

Los Tacos No 1 in downtown NYC was pretty packed during the last two times S and I visited, but as there is standing room only, folks just finished their food and left, so there was sufficient room for all.
