London, UK: A Visit to the Royals
London, UK: A Visit to the Royals
I have always been fascinated with history, which is why I like to visit World Heritage Sites. We only have a day to see London. So I made a list of the “must see” places catered to us. And first on the list is the Tower of London or Her Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress of the Tower of London.
It is my first time to see a real castle. It was so widespread you can probably spend a day in…

Positano, IT: Along the Dreamy Coast
Positano, IT: Along the Dreamy Coast
One of the reasons that got me excited to visit the south of Italy was this breathtaking Amalfi Coast. It’s always a surreal feeling to see top destinations in real life than on a computer screen. Positano is a perfect place if you like the beach, but also like the mountains. Plus the colorful layer of houses added to the beauty. It’s called the most photogenic town in the Amalfi Coast, and I can…

Pisa, IT: the Square of Miracles
History is definitely one of my favorite subjects. I find the past interesting and I’m always ecstatic to see historical structures that I’ve only read in books. Pisa is about 1.5 hour from Florence by road. And whenever I hear Pisa, the Leaning Tower is the first thing that comes into mind. But I was surprised that the Tower is actually situated in a square and is really a bell tower. After…

Taipei City, Taiwan: In With The Old
Taipei City, Taiwan: In With The Old
Despite being a city, Taipei didn’t overly looked like one since it’s surrounded by luscious mountains. And I think that’s the country’s charm. It offers a bit of both worlds just by driving an hour from the city center. But did you know that there’s two Taipei cities? The New Taipei City, which is the most populated city in the country, covers the north and surrounds (old) Taipei City. But the…

New Taipei City, Taiwan: Spirited Away in Jiufen
New Taipei City, Taiwan: Spirited Away in Jiufen
Taiwan wasn’t in my bucketlist. But after watching a travel show episode showcasing Taiwan, I got interested to visit the country, especially Jiufen. If you’ve seen the Japanese movie Spirited Away by Hayao Miyazaki, then you might recognize this quaint, little town situated in the mountain. Jiufen is about an hour away from the international airport. I arrived on an early morning, and was picked…

Tokyo, Japan: A Blend of Old and New
Tokyo, Japan: A Blend of Old and New
When I think about Tokyo, I picture a bustling city with sky-high buildings and hustling people in suits coming on and off the train. And while we did experienced getting dragged by the crowd during rush hours, I’m amazed to see centuries old temples and parks in the middle of the metropolis. Despite the country being technologically advanced, I see how the Japanese people respect their culture.…

Tokyo, Japan: Sushi, Ramen and Mario Go-Karts
Tokyo, Japan: Sushi, Ramen and Mario Go-Karts
MariCar tour guide: What’s the first thing that comes into your mind when you think about Japan? Me: Sushi! And they laughed. Well, food is life in my book! 😀 We finally bid goodbye to Kyoto and made our way to another city very early in the morning. We decided to just buy breakfast at the convenience store so we can catch the 7am shinkansen to Tokyo. I love their onigiri! Surprisingly, the train…

Kyoto, Japan: Two Years and Counting
Kyoto, Japan: Two Years and Counting
I would tell my husband not to buy me stuff for anniversaries. Instead, I would like him to bring me somewhere we’ve never been before. It’s always nice to experience something together for the first time. And because my wish is his command, we celebrated our 2nd year wedding anniversary in Japan. (Thank you, Mahal!) Based on my readings, it’s better to go see Kinkakuji or the Golden Pavilion…
