Travel, Food & Books
On our last trip here in Korea, we explored Gangneung, the city in the province of Gangwon-do, on the east coast of South Korea. We have been living in Korea for almost two years now, and yet we never travelled by bus, so on this trip, we gave it a go.

Jungle trekking is one of the activity must do when visiting Koh Chang. However, accessing the waterfall or finding the safest routes to the peak of the jungle was hard work without marked trails. The only way to safely explore those places is by going with a local experienced tour guide. Continue reading “Klong Prao Trek Koh Chang with Tan Trekking”
My flight from Kuala Lumpur landed at 5:15 pm, and I thought I’d be able to meet up with Mike at about 7 pm. However, I was wrong, and I spent 40 minutes queuing for immigration clearance. The journey in a taxi also took about 2 hours to get to Amora NeoLuxe Suites in Sukhumvit due to the traffic-jammed.

I have been living in South Korea for almost two years now, and yet I still haven’t had a chance to visit the place near the DMZ. When Matthew came here for a visit before we all travelled down to Bangkok for a holiday, I finally get to visit this place. Continue reading “Peace Train DMZ Tour”
Three months ago when we took the train down to Guryegu for hiking, we saw many people getting off in this station called Jeonju, and they were all looking very excited about it. I was intrigued by it and did some quick google search on that place, and I’m glad I did that. Jeonju has over 800 traditional Korean Hanok houses clustered in one area, and it’s a great place for a weekend getaway. But we couldn’t immediately arrange for a visit because we have already had a travel plan in November and December so, it would have to be in January.

The next morning after breakfast at the hotel, we took the Wenhu Line from Zhongshan Junior High School station to Taipei Zoo station. The ride was about 20 minutes with the cost of NT$ 24 paid with the Easy card. Two months ago when Adam visited us for a hike in Jirisan, he gave us the Easy Card as he no longer needed it. Besides paying for the metro with the card, we also used it to pay for the Maokong Gondola ride and the entrance fees for the Taipei Zoo. Continue reading “Day Trip to Maokong and Taipei Zoo”
After the tour in Taipei 101 Observatory, we walked to the National Dr Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall. The hall was built to commemorate the 100th birthday of Dr Sun, the founding father of the Republic of China.

We first arrived at Taipei airport on 17th December from Korea for our transfer to Kuala Lumpur. Back then, the immigration counter wasn’t crowded. However, today, it was swarming with people of various ethnicities, and kind of reminded me of my travel to Bali four years ago.
