Afew weeks back I had posted a review about one of the tours we took in Phuket. Today I’d like to give another review on the other tour we took during our stay in Thailand. To be honest, I’ve been kind of dreading this post and it took a lot of going back and forth to actually […]
Singapore Changi Airport has recently beat out reigning champion Hong Kong International Airport as the better airport. And while this airport was pretty impressive, there are some definite things that you should know before flying out of Changi Airport. Similar to HKIA, Changi Airport can be reached a number of ways, including directly by MRT. The MRT […]
Hong Kong is nothing more than a dot on the map and no longer even an official country, yet from its sights to its food to its people, it’s an impressive place. Yesterday Hong Kong set out to achieve another Guinness World Record–and was successful. On January 1st over 800 auspicious animals took part in […]
After buying my first-ever Disneyland pass this August, I’ve visited the park a (un)surprisingly number of times–I can think of at least ten.

Every year thousands of people visit Thailand. Tours have become one of the most popular ways to see and do things around the country.

Christkindlmarkts are popular during the holidays and seem to find themselves in every major city in the western world. Growing up it became tradition to pay a visit to the one held downtown Chicago, and […]
After doing extensive research of how we should spend our time in Phuket, I had complied a list of things I wanted to do that was impossible to complete with our given amount of time. Although we were able to do more than I expected, three days in paradise just weren’t enough. If you’re like […]
Hong Kong International Airport has been reported as one of the world’s most loved airports. The airport has received Skytrax’s “World’s Best Airport Award” eight times in the last 11 years. In the now eight experiences I’ve had at HKIA, I must say it’s the most efficient airport I’ve ever been in–which makes it great […]
It’s Christmas here in Hong Kong, Merry Christmas to all my family, friends and of course, readers! Although most Hong Kongers don’t actually celebrate, they still can’t seem to get enough of holiday decorations. In my guide to celebrating Christmas in Hong Kong, I listed all the most popular places to find elaborate displays. So today, in […]
