How can I describe Hong Kong? The city is constantly busy, people fill the streets, traffic packs the roads and buildiMngs rise high overhead blocking out huge chunks of the sky. It’s appearance is like something from a Sci-Fi dystopian future, with neon lights covering walls, various colours decorating buildings and walkways, yet the whole …
A tour of the DMZ was high up on our list of things to do while visiting Seoul. In fact we added Seoul to our itinerary specifically because we thought it would be a really interesting thing to see first hand. It definitely didn’t disappoint and was well worth the $42 each it cost us. …
We had very mixed expectations of South Korea. Cam was desperate to go, mostly for the DMZ tour but I on the other hand was not as keen. I quickly changed my small narrow mind after a couple of hours in the country and very soon it became our favourite place in Asia. It’s not …
Both Cam and I had Tokyo on the top of our travel bucket list, and managed to squeeze in a trip during our leg of north east Asia. Let’s start by saying we spent 5 days in Tokyo and we felt like we’d only scratched the surface! A lot of our friends told us that …
Taipei, the capital of Taiwan encompasses old authentic, traditional Chinese culture, with modern sky scrapers, exclusive nightclubs and a metropolitan feel. We only stayed here for three nights and to be honest hadn’t heard that much about the city so didn’t really know what to expect, but we could have easily stayed longer. Due to the …
The Philippines was another country we hadn’t actually planned to visit but was added to our trip when we changed plans and went to Bali. It made sense to come here on the way to countries in the north east of Asia which we had wanted to visit. So we didn’t really know what to …
Probably the most popular island of Indonesia, Bali is known as the central hub of the ‘digital nomads’ and it’s easy to see why, with it’s stunning untouched beaches, diving, beautiful Hindu temples and rice terraces the place is full of photo opportunities. Whether you’re a beach bum surfer, a plant based yogi or you …
We had mixed feelings about Sihanoukville, it wasn’t originally on our list of places to go, but as we were in Cambodia we thought it might be worth a visit, as a number of our friends had told us to make a stop off there. We arrived In Sihanoukville after a 6 hour Mekong express bus …
We arrived in Phnom Penh after a 6 hour bus journey on the Mekong express (we’ve found them to be the best service and best value). We were dropped at the city bus station and hopped into a nearby tuk tuk to our hotel near the grand palace ($3). Whilst in the tuk tuk what …
We arrived in Siem Reap after our not so fun journey from Bangkok and were dropped off just outside the centre of town. Tired after our long painful journey we found a bar with WiFi and more importantly alcohol ($0.50 per beer!) in order to locate our hotel and familiarise ourselves with our new surroundings. …
