Discover Camana Bay

As mentioned in my previous blog post, I recently got a job at my dream company, a Swiss bank. It is located at one of Grand Cayman’s hot spots for tourists, Camana Bay. I remember my first visit there as a tourist, it almost felt like I’m back in Bonifacio Global City. The location is very aesthetic and it houses almost every essential establishment you could think of. There is a bookstore, numerous restaurants and cafe’s, clinics, cinema for leisure, mini gardens for picnic, and ofcourse the Fosters (the grocery store) is just a few steps away. 

Definitely, having your workplace there is such a privilege. The entire location has state of the art facilities especially the security and data centre. Most companies there are wealth management / investments banks and audit firms. I remember my previous co-workers aspiring to work there as well. 

Now my mom, upon knowing my transfer, is very excited and curious as to how working there is like. She would always ask me to send her photos so she would feel like she is also there with me. And so I decided to tag you along with my virtual tour and hope you enjoy some photos of my super cozy and aesthetic work location!

Bus access is not a problem too as there is a walkway going to the main road for commuters like me. I would always get a little bit of grocery here and there before going home and it is such a convenience, I don’t have to waste another CI$ 4 just for transportation alone lol.  It’s also a nice place to hangout with friends especially in the night. The lights are scenic.

I am beyond blessed and thankful to be given the opportunity to work at such an amazing place ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Lazy Sunday

    Lazy Sunday

    Today is just a normal rest day for me. I started the day off with a glass of water and a 60 minute yoga workout. Ever since I discovered yoga I have been so interested in it that I want to do it almost everyday. I just stayed at home the whole day, cooked ramen, took a nap for a little bit, and continued watching Crash Landing On You. I live in the suburb part of the island so my view every morning is so peaceful and serene. I must say countryside is perfect for soul searching and meditation. If you haven’t tried yoga before I highly suggest you do. Especially if you are under a lot of stress and have trouble managing your mental…

    Halloween in Cayman Islands 2020

    Hey guys, you might have already read my post the other day about The Hallotober Tag. I mentioned there that I love Halloween because I like dressing up, going to parties, and having fun on spooky community events. Last year, I went on a Halloween party bus (with missions and games) and since then I’ve always looked forward to this years event.  My costume was ready since the beginning of the year. Yes, that’s how excited I was! I even signed up on three events: Fright Fest: The Strand Block Party, Nightmare on Walker’s Road, and Dead On Arrival: All Inclusive Halloween Event. Finally, the wait is over! This year, I dressed up as… *drum roll please*… Sailor Moon! The Fright Fest is an annual event and has…

  • My pregnancy journey

    My pregnancy journey

    Before getting pregnant, I imagined pregnancy would be a slow and predictable process. You find out, you watch your belly grow, you prepare the nursery, and then eventually the baby arrives. Thatโ€™s the version you see everywhere. My experience was different. I found out I was pregnant in early July. I remember staring at the test and just thinking, okayโ€ฆ this is real now. It felt exciting but also a little surreal. I didnโ€™t immediately feel like a โ€œmomโ€ yet. It felt more like I was stepping into something completely new and unknown. The first big moment for me was hearing the heartbeat. Up until that point, pregnancy still felt abstract. But hearing that tiny heartbeat made it real. There was actually a little person…

  • Why can’t we just print money?

    Why can’t we just print money?

    Hey everyone, welcome to Food for Thought (a new blog series I launched last week) where I answer one common question and hopefully we both learn something from it. This week’s topic is a bit relevant to our current situation and one of the most famous questions asked at your basic Economics class: Why can’t the government just print more money to solve national issues such as poverty? The short answer is: Inflation. The long answer is: Let’s first start on why money was invented in the first place. Before fiat money (paper money which technically has no instrinsic value) was invented, our ancestors use the barter system. It is a system where goods and services are exchanged between entities. However, one of the major problems with…

  • Walt Disney World

    Walt Disney World

    I went to Orlando Christmas last last year to do some shopping and went to Disney World while I’m there. My trip was only for three days and there was nothing much to do in such a short span of time. My goal really was just to spend some time away from the island and buy reasonably priced clothing among other things. I remember arriving on the 23rd of December and leaving on the 26th. I have come to realize that shopping in the USA at this time of the year, apart from Black Friday, is not a good idea — mainly because everywhere is packed with people and almost all stores are already empty! So in the end, I had barely bought anything lol…

  • Batabano Carnival

    Batabano Carnival

    Since it’s almost carnival season (but has been postponed until further notice), I will take you to trip down memory lane with me in last years celebration! Batabano Carnival  is an annual festival held in the Cayman Islands every month of May. The island is home to more than a hundred nationalities, most (if not all) of which participate in light of community spirit. It is a cultural celebration filled with music, dance, food, costumes, heritage and culture, and ofcourse booze! lol. It is a pretty young carnival that has only been going on for 30 years (thanks to Rotary Club!) The highlight of the festival is the street parade composed of masquerade bands and *drumroll please…..* exotic costumes! Last years parade started from the Seven…
