Hong Kong
Hong Kong is an incredible concrete jungle. If you are looking for free things to do in Hong Kong – nothing beats strolling through the city and exploring it on foot. It is safe, fascinating and ok, maybe a little bit ghetto at times (which is charming in a weird sort of way). You will probably leave with a sore neck too as the city just keeps … Continue reading Hong Kong

A city with Seoul
Looking back at my posts, I realised that somehow Seoul got hardly any mention at all! Ahh not a biggie, one might say. It might not be my favourite city in the whole world, but certainly has a special place in my heart. After all, I did live on the outskirts of Seoul for a year, and discovered many interesting places by the end of … Continue reading A city with Seoul

O for Osaka
The most convenient way to get to the city from the airport – Unlike in some other regions in Japan, in Kansai, getting a regional JR pass will not necessary provide the best value for your buck. The cheapest and the most convenient option is a pre-loaded ICOCA card which you can purchase at the airport. Basically, it is just a reusable travel card, and you … Continue reading O for Osaka
