Posted by: celebrationsint on: February 5, 2010
I think there’s a commonly-held misconception that anything “custom” or “customized” must be expensive. Well, I’m here to dispel that myth, at least where escorted tours are concerned. In my post entitled “Escorted Tours My Way: No Whirlwind Bus Rides!” I talked about the fact that with many traditional group tours, the travelers’ experience can [...]
Standard Tours vs. Custom Tours
Posted by: celebrationsint on: February 3, 2010
If you’ve ever been on a standard (non-custom) escorted tour like I have, what do you remember? In my case, what I remember is a bus (motorcoach) full of people, a tour director, and a driver. (To read more about this, see my earlier post, “Escorted Tours My Way: No Whirlwind Bus Rides!”.) What I [...]
You Mean I Have to Cook on a Culinary Tour?
Posted by: celebrationsint on: January 29, 2010
This entry was inspired by a conversation I had recently. A caller tells me she wants to book a tour for a group of professional chefs. “They don’t want to cook,” she insists. “They just want to eat, drink, and be merry.” Don’t get me wrong, I of all people am all for eating, drinking, [...]

I don’t know how many people in Japan celebrate Christmas, but check out this Frosty the Snowman bento box lunch and Gingerbread Man bento posted on Refrigerator Soup’s site….both excellent ideas and cute as can be!

Chinese Holiday Foods
Posted by: celebrationsint on: December 15, 2009
Almost all Chinese people I know (myself included) love to celebrate the holidays (make that any holiday) with an abundance of good food.
