I'm currently in the process of totally re-organizing the blog contents. Instead of using blog posts, I've added information on restaurants and other good food spots to the pages which are organized by country and city. This makes information easier to find for friends who are looking for tips for upcoming vacations.
Another reason for this change is a decline in my health. Unfortunately, this makes it quite difficult to enjoy food with abandon and to write lengthy pieces. The decreasing ability to eat large amounts also changed my food focus over time. I used to enjoy all-you-can-eat buffets. Now, a buffet no longer makes sense to me when I can barely finish the one plate. That means my focus is more on quality than quantity. There is only so much that I can sample in one sitting. Not only was my appetite impacted but I found myself writing shorter pieces due to soreness in my fingers and hands and a pervasive brain fog that hampers my concentration.
Hence I re-organized information into pages per region, with each page containing short descriptions of places I like. And it is no longer only about food. Sometimes, I also mention a hotel that I liked or a shop or tips for souvenirs.
Last but not least, for some time I started craving more anonymity. It didn't make sense to have my name and identity out there for all to see. That is why I have migrated this blog to my alternate Gmail account where I use my pseudonym "Neko". For friends who know who I am, yes, this is still me and my blog.
