Now that we’ve had our big Asian adventure, I’m taking a breath to reminisce a bit. There’s no shortage of memories, either – sore feet, a metric ton of Pepto Bismol, and a list of pretty impressive sightseeing. I’ll launch off with some of the best things to do in Taiwan – plus a few […]
Is the title a bold claim? Yes. Yes it is. But I think this one-day Macau tour can live up to it. You may think that one day isn’t enough to see all of Macau’s sights. You wouldn’t be wrong, exactly, but since Macau is mostly casinos, there’s really only enough non-gambling sightseeing to fill […]
While looking over my Asia travel itinerary, I started to think about the Hong Kong portion of it. I was pretty happy with the trip overall, but there were a few things I’d change about the Hong Kong part if I were to go again. So, here’s my sort-of rework… in the form of a […]
Need a two-week Asia itinerary that isn’t a mishmash of attractions? Something that wasn’t smashed together by some travel agency’s unpaid intern? You’re not the only one. Jeff and I did a sh*t ton of research on Asia travel for the best sightseeing in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and South Korea. We planned it, personally […]
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. NOTE: THIS […]
Off to South Korea! Who says a travel day has to be boring? I have lots of 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, […]
A Northern Taiwan Day Trip Well, today was certainly an alright day. We had a long Taiwan day trip, but it wasn’t bad at all. 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 […]
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, […]
Visiting Tian Tan Buddha Today and tomorrow, we’ll be touring Hong Kong and Macau. And today is Tian Tan Buddha day! It was indeed a long metro day and we were a little concerned about lines when we learned Easter Monday is a public holiday in Hong Kong, but all went well. NOTE: THIS POST […]
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. People have seemed shocked by that, but I think it’s because the #AP4L and I always squeeze so much into a short period of time. […]
