Vancouver photo roundup
Vancouver is one of the most scenic cities I’ve been to, with its coastal location, nice buildings, and spectacular mountains in the distance. Having first visited beautiful Stanley Park which lies on a peninsular facing the sea, I spent some time walking around the city. There’s a mix of elegant old buildings, sleek skyscrapers, and some […]

Visiting Nagoya, one of Japan’s biggest cities
As Japan’s fourth-largest city and the hub of the central Chubu region, Nagoya is one of Japan’s most important cities. But for travel, it’s not that famous.

Exploring Kuala Lumpur further
Kuala Lumpur is Malaysia’s political, business and commerce center as well as the nation’s air transportation hub. While I don’t rate it as highly as Bangkok, Singapore or Hanoi, it is still a decent major city. I have actually visited it twice though both times I didn’t spend too long. The city’s most iconic symbol […]

Five Bangkok attractions to check out
One of my most-visited cities in Asia is Bangkok, which I’ve been to numerous times both for travel and for short stopovers en route to other countries. But I actually hated Bangkok the first time I visited it, which was at the end of a 3-week journey through Southeast Asia. It seemed too loud, dirty, […]
