When you imagine how a castle would look in Japan, you are probably imagining the Himeji Castle. White, lots of levels, typical roofs and dominating over a city, it is certainly worth a visit. It is the largest castle in Japan, and while having been fixed and rebuilt, the original building is from the XIV […]

Our 2 days in Kyoto
We spent 3 days in Kyoto, one of which we fully dedicated to Nara, so we only had two days to wander around the temple city. If you prepare well your itinerary, and move at a fast pace, you can see most sights in those two days, and maybe a bit more. In this post […]
2 days in Tokyo (and how we made the most of it)
As we have mentioned before in our post “Japan in one week” certainly this amazing Asian nation has plenty of things to do to stay for more than a week, but as it might happen to many of you, we only had that amount of time. This being said, we needed to find a way […]
Our experience in Southern China
Planning to visit China? do not miss the rest of our posts about the Asian giant here DAY 1 – GUILIN We arrived around noon on a train that was coming from Shanghai. We took a bus from the station to our hostel, located in the lake area, close to all the touristic places. After […]
One week in Japan
Japan certainly has tons of things to keep a traveller amazed for much longer than a week. However, sometimes either because the vacation time is to short, or you want to check other countries in the region, the time to devote to the amazing nation of the raising sun is just one week. In that […]

We visited it in 2016, and planned to stay a few days to see some other attractions that […]

Ubud
Contrary to what most people believe, Bali is not a synonym of paradise beaches. There are some nice beaches around the island, but that shouldn’t be the main reason why you decide to visit this Indonesian spot. To us Bali is all about the culture. We had the chance to escape to Bali on two […]
Singapore
Why do we love Singapore? Would it be the fact that it’s the most developed city in Southeast Asia? Maybe because it’s a bustling and vibrant city full of things to do year round, including restaurants, bars, shopping, museums, festivals, natural and artificial gardens, lightshows and more. Or it could also be due to the […]
Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan
Visiting Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan Translated as Federal Territory Mosque, this amazing temple is one of our favourites spots to visit in Kuala Lumpur. A place off the beaten track, it is completely worth dedicating a morning to visit. In this post we share our experience! The Mosque is not far from other touristic spots, but […]
