Hong Kong: Trekking Dragon’s Back
The first things that surprised us about Hong Kong were the harmonious blending of lush mountains and skyscrapers and the vast amount of space reserved for country and marine parks. We never thought there would be lots of opportunities for outdoor recreation and nature appreciation in this urban jungle of over 6 million people. Our [...] -
Exploring Hong Kong – Part 2
The view from the Peak was spectacular. It is probably the best place to get a good perspective of Hong Kong being the highest point on the island -
Senado Square – Our Macau Walk
Macau’s Historic Center has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2005. The heritage listing includes numerous architectural monuments, streetscapes, squares and many more. A few days wouldn’t be enough to fully explore and appreciate this precious gem of Asia, but I was very grateful to have experienced at least a taste of everything it has to offer. -
Bungee Jumping at Macau Tower
I closed my eyes, cleared my mind and then jumped… The pull of gravity was so overpowering and the 6 seconds of fall seemed like eternity. -
A Night in Macau
Macau is a showcase of modern grandiosity and the old but charming Mediterranean atmosphere.

Since day 1, we had been looking forward to visit the Grand Palace Complex so it was very fitting for us to save the best [...] -
Ayutthaya – Ancient Capital of Thailand
The first things that come to my mind when I think of Thailand are temples, elephants and delicious and spicy food. But since I only have a few days to explore one city I decided to go beyond the usual city tour or the shopping spree we usually do when we are in Bangkok. I [...] -
Floating Market Bangkok
I arrived in Bangkok a day earlier than my mamita so I just took the time to write about my previous trips and catch up on a much needed rest. The transfer from the airport to my hotel hasn’t been a pleasant experience so I set out for a travel agent that afternoon after finding [...] -
Cu Chi Tunnel – Vietnam
It was lunch time when we left Cao Dai temple so we had a 20-minute rest in the commissioned restaurant of the company before we traveled another hour and half to Cu Chi district. We passed plantations of rubber trees and lush surroundings that indicate little evidence of the intense fighting, bombing and destruction that [...]
