Travels in Asia
Sheraton Hotel Macao Review
Last December my wife and I made a trip over to Hong Kong. Since I hadn’t been over in Macao for a long while I figured a visit is long over due. This was sort of a Christmas holiday getaway so hotels were a more on the pricey side this time of year. But it’s […]

Talad Liab Duan – Night Market by the Highway (ตลาดเรียบด่วนรามอินทรา) There’s just something about the chill atmosphere of a night market in Bangkok that is so soothing.

Visiting Myeongdong in Seoul
Seoul has a lot of wonderful neighborhoods but I mostly stay in Myeongdong, a really popular shopping district. Why?

Hotel Sunroute Higashi Shinjuku Review
Hotel Sunroute Higashi is located in Shinjuku district of Tokyo. Like a lot of hotels in Tokyo a Metro subway line or JR East train station is not far away. This is one of the reasons why I chose to stay at this hotel. And also, it’s one of the most affordable business classed hotels […]
