Vacation Blog: Tequila Tasting and Playa Del Carmen Media Gallery

Another day in Mexico saw myself take part in some tequila tasting, as well as roaming around the streets of Playa Del Carmen.

Before all that, I went to a jewelry store to check out some fine Mexican-made pieces. Filming and taking pictures inside the store was prohibited, but I was allowed to film inside the lobby, which displayed some incredible ceramic pieces and decorative artifacts.

The Incident in Ottawa: What Are The True Intentions of TFC / MLSE Regarding Supporters?

If you are a football fan in Canada, you have heard of the incident that happened in Ottawa in the Canadian Championship Semi-Final between the Ottawa Fury and Toronto FC. TFC supporters lit flares and set off firecrackers in their section (including throwing a flare on the pitch, causing damage to the stadium and their own banners). The Inebriatti supporters group have since claimed responsibility for this incident, which came as a U-turn to their previous statement where they claimed they had nothing to do with it.

Vacation Blog: Tulum Ruins and Beach Media Gallery

During my vacation to Mexico, I went to visit the Mayan Ruins in Tulum. In the thirteenth century, the Mayan city of Tulum served as a seaport for trade, as well as housed temples and residences for priests and other nobility. After I got off the bus and walked through a jungle path full of iguanas and other wildlife, I caught my first look of the gently rolling hills and crumbling stone structures of the Tulum Ruins.

The Meaning Of Value

What is the meaning of value to me?

I am not talking about monetary value, or sentimental value. What I am talking about is the value that a person places on another person. I am talking about someone's importance in the view of others, as well as the value someone places on themselves. Value has been an ever-present theme in my life, and I have always struggled to evaluate my own worth, as well as to gauge my own worth to others.

Resort Review: Luxury Bahia Principe Akumal

I just came back from my vacation in Mexico, staying at the 5-star Luxury Bahia Principe Akumal, which is a part of the Grand Bahia Principe family of resorts. This resort is a part of the compound that also has three other Bahia Principe resorts in the same area (Coba, Tulum, and Sian Ka'an). Here's my review:

Check-In

The check-in process was a bit chaotic. We arrived at 12pm, and when we checked in, our rooms weren't ready until 3pm, so we had to wait. It also didn't help that many people in our group were booked in different villas, so the resort had to book us closer together. The staff did bring some welcome drinks to help to alleviate the frustrating experience.
