If I’m being completely honest: my family and I - okay, fine - my Mom and I made an effort to visit Macau after its multiple k-drama appearances.
Visiting this city and going to the Venetian was a pure tourist-day-play. Since I don’t gamble, I’ll probably skip going to the Venetian, but I’d love to comeback with my camera to take some street and architecture photography.
From the Big Buddha to the busy streets of Hong Kong, the last time I was here was when I was in 7th grade.
When my family and I made a trip to the city back then, we accidentally ended up in a sketchy area with the not-so-best people directing us to an even more sketchy area (yikes!). Even after we managed to get out, I kept experiencing cultural shock and barriers, so this stress naturally ruined my experience and made me want to stay away from this city for a while.
As years passed and my friends would constantly praise the city, I decided I had to give this place another try and create new memories, and I’m so glad that I did.
My trip here was far too short, so I’ll have to make another trip soon to explore (and eat!) some more. If you have any recommendations on places to eat and see, please let me know, because I’m itching to go back with a longer to-do list!
What an incredible experience. It’s been on my bucket list to travel to Bangkok for a while.
I was always fascinated by the culture and history, so when we were able to make the my next family vacation to Bangkok, I was ecstatic. I couldn’t wait to walk the streets, visit malls, the local shops, and of course the touristy-rich-cultured-locations too.
The architecture was incredible and absolutely breathtaking. These photos definitely doesn’t do justice.
One of the highlights from this trip has to be when I turned to my mom and brother and chuckled that we in “boat traffic”. We were neck to neck with the people next to us. It was fascinating how these floating market functioned and how quickly the business exchange took place.
What an incredible exeperience.
Out of all the places I’ve been to in Japan, Kyoto was probably my favorite spot.
There was so much culture and I felt much more at peace and calm when touring this city. I didn’t feel like we had to be constantly on the go, feeding off of others’ energy.
We were able to stroll the city and take-in the culture. There’s still so much to see here, so I’ll have to make it a point to come back here soon.
It used to be on my bucket-list to visit every Disneyland in the world, so of course we had to stop by Disneyland, Tokyo.
Out of all Disney themed parks I’ve been to, the one in Tokyo was the most overwhelming place. The park felt extremely overcrowded, the lines were ridiculous, and because the park was small, we were able to cover all ground in one day.
Shibuya’s fish market, you have stole my heart with your incredible fresh chirashi and salmon and tuna sashimi.
We stopped by the fish market for lunch and it was the best and fresh salmon I have ever had in my life. We went during the off hours, so business wasn’t as hectic as it would be in the morning, but people were still lining up at different shops to get their fresh sashimi fix.
