A Weekend at The Lausanne Palace & Spa
We have occupied this little space of the internet for just over five years, and could not believe that this was the first time we decided to do an overnight creative retreat.

Where to eat in Lausanne: Chez Xu
It’s not an exaggeration when we say that our thoughts are still consumed with last week’s dinner; visions of fried dumplings, crispy honey chicken, and Szechuan beef are dancing in our heads. In fact, as we write these words, we are salivating and wondering how soon would be too soon to pay them another visit.
