The Streets of Ulaanbataar

I was thinking of what to write in my blog the past weeks. With lack of actual travel for over a year now, I ended up browsing through my past travel photos and try to recall the feeling of excitement every time I embark onto […]

Shekou Sea World Plaza

Shekou Sea World Plaza

I almost forgot that I listed this place as part of my Shenzhen itinerary. But I quickly remembered it when I was checking the Shenzhen subway map. Seaworld station popped out and was like shouting ‘hey don’t forget me!’ After visiting Chiwan, I was already […]

Exploring Suwon City’s Hwaseong Fortress

To our surprise, the weather in Suwon City was warm compared to Seoul’s when we visited here last September 2018. Maybe because we arrived in the area at noon time but my constant use of my handkerchief made me think otherwise. Nonetheless, I found Suwon […]

Ulaanbatar’s Choijin Lama Temple Museum

The Chojin Lama Temple Museum was one of the attractions I visited in downtown Ulaanbatar. The area where this ancient monument stands is already surrounded by modern structures. But the temple itself is much well-preserved, ready to be admired by residents and foreign visitors alike. […]

How to Get to the Great Wall of China (Badaling) via DIY Style

Prior to our departure for Manila, my friend and I spent our last day in Beijing communing with one of the most iconic man made landmarks on earth – the Great Wall of China. As our flight schedules were erratic, I thought it best to […]
