Farewell soon to PopCultureTraveler and hello to Oz Seer

Yoon’s Kitchen – Glen Waverley, Melbourne – try their Korean style soups
Parking in Glen Waverley can be pretty difficult if you come after 6:00 pm on either Friday, Saturday or Sunday, but if you know where to look you’ll be fine. Hint, best place to park your car is near Glen Waverley Station if you can’t find parking in the multi-level car park or in the […]
VIP Kitchen or Yip Kitchen – Springvale, Melbourne – their soft shell crab noodle soup is really popular and a must try
Whether this restaurant is called VIP Kitchen or Yip Kitchen is anyone’s guess. The stylistic V or Y in its signage is hard to decipher.

Sunnyside Sliced – Mentone, Melbourne – outside Mentone train station is an American pizza restaurant
New York pizza can be found in Mentone in Melbourne’s southeast. When compared to another similar New York pizza joint, Sal’s Authentic New York Pizza, it comes off worse because the pizza slices offer less toppings, are slightly smaller (even though they are meant to the same size) and are more expensive – but at […]
Getting your mobile phone sim card at Changi Airport – Singapore
For Australians, who wants to pay $10 a day for 500 MB of roaming data? It’s expensive and not worth it. While it may seen like a hassle to have to change your sim card and get a temporary new number, the cost and the ability to get lots of data is worth the inconvenience […]
