Trip review of Tohoku: An autumn road trip around Nikko and Fukushima
With Tohoku being a relatively under-explored region of Japan, we highly recommend a self-driving road trip or making a few stops if taking the Shinkansen transport.
Trip review of Kyoto: A worthy side trip to Otsu
Otsu, beside Kyoto city, is a hidden gem at Lake Biwa, definitely deserving of a day trip or even a night in this lakeside city.
Trip review of Bangkok: Plenty of dining hits
We scored great dining spots in a repeat visit to the city of Bangkok. While tourism may have slowed down for this metropolis, the government is unveiling more measures to spur travel activities.
Trip review of Chiang Mai: Slow living surrounded by mountains
Chiang Mai has managed to surprise us with its harmonious blend of heritage and strong indie culture. It is well-suited for travelers looking for a slower-paced experience.
Trip review of Siem Reap: Angkor temples and a jeep experience to Tonle Sap
While sunrise at Angkor Wat was great, it was Tonle Sap that surprised us with its sunset experience. Siem Reap countryside should certainly be on everyone's itinerary.
Trip review of Chengdu: Do not miss the day trip gems outside the city
Chengdu is worth visiting for the wide spectrum of experiences that the city offers. But to us, the allure definitely lies in the close proximity of the city to amazing UNESCO world heritage sites.
Trip review of Okinawa: Exploring the Hawaii of Japan with public transportation
We decided to try if exploring Okinawa is practical without renting a car. We also took this opportunity to enjoy the start of cherry blossom season in Japan.
