The Good
Cumi & Ciki’s blog has everything from tasting new international flavors to discovering exotic destinations. Many of the photos illustrating the articles and reviews are absolutely stunning, and we believe the blog would grab even more attention if Cumi and Ciki created a dedicated Photo category. Cumi & Ciki’s writing does a a nice job of highlighting the local color of the destinations that they write about – don’t miss the “7 Things I love about Japan” post for a great example of this. Their Motto is great, “Be curious. The only way to know if you like worms is to try/eat worms. Don’t try, don’t know. The only way to know if one curry is better than another is to try BOTH..”.
The Bad
We aren’t exactly thrilled with the blog format. Most of the content is brilliant, but it is visually lacking. When you click on a category tab, the page only shows three titles, risking to lose an impatient visitor.
