Asian Adventure In Seoul I ’ve gotta say that today was a good day. And I think Seoul just may have overtaken Hong Kong in the Asian Adventure rankings. (Macau can stay in last place. Both Jeff and I agree.) We did a walking tour of Seoul through all kinds of different neighborhoods. Seoul Tower […]
Off to South Korea! Who says a travel day has to be boring? I have lotsof details to report! Today, we’re flying to South Korea and, later, we’ll be visiting the DMZ. The Taiwan airport is actually really nice (now that I’ve had “the opportunity” to spend a little more time there). Eva Airlines, who […]
A Northern Taiwan Day Trip Well, today was certainly an alright day. We had a long Taiwan day trip, but it wasn’t bad. We got picked up at our hotel. Small group of us, just six. The guide was supposed to have spoken English, but spoke next to none. He really just drove us around […]
Getting From Macau to Taipei Not a whole lot to report today, unfortunately. Mostly a travel day. Which should’ve been a lot shorter than it was. But tomorrow, we have a big day in Taipei. Our flight was scheduled midday. I tend to book flights earlier and then I feel all rushed in the mornings, […]

A Multi-Country Asia Tour… The Beginning This will officially be the second time in my life ever that I’ll be taking a two-week vacation, first being Fiji and New Zealand.

More About Japan… We fell asleep ridiculously early again last night and I woke up in the middle of the night to Jeff coming back from a late-night snack run. One of his favorite things to do while traveling is raiding the country’s snack selection at convenient stores. Last night, out and about Japan, he […]
More Temples in Kyoto So, yeah. More temples in Kyoto today. Because we haven’t had enough of those. They’re all really beautiful, though, I promise. Totally worth it. We started our day by walking to Sanjusangen-do Temple from the hotel. 1,001 Buddhas in Sanjusangen-do Temple This temple features 1,001 gold buddhas. All in one place. […]
