Today was the day I left Yerevan for Tbilisi. I had to pinch myself because I was still convinced I wouldn’t make it to Tbilisi. Mind you, I had no choice but to make it because I had no more days booked at the hostel here. I had to get up early to get a […]
Asia
My Trip to Singapore with Ken
Singapore wasn’t really somewhere that was on my list to travel to. The next time I wanted to go to Asia was to go to Japan. Ken and I have this on our bucket list so I started to look in earnest for a ticket to Japan. I couldn’t find any that were reasonably priced […]
Bakıya Səyahətim və Niyə Xoş Təəccübləndim
I may have mentioned this when I talked about Paris, but my passport expires in November and a lot of places in the world want you to have 6 months of validity from the day you enter otherwise you risk not being allowed in. I decided that I would try and get as much travel […]
Bizans? Bekle, Konstantinopolis demek istiyorum. Bekle, İstanbul olabilir mi? Doğru, İstanbul ziyaretim
Turkey wasn’t somewhere that was high on my radar for visiting. I know several people that have been to Turkey (albeit the resorts) and I can’t say that it was anything I was interested in hearing them talk about. I’m not sure why I dismissed it so readily given that I didn’t really know much […]
המסע שלי לתל אביב-יפו, ירושלים ובית לחם / رحلتي إلى تل أبيب-يافا والقدس وبيت لحم
I’m gonna preface this post by saying that I made a certain someone unhappy that I was going to Israel. I have also said to the certain someone that I am happy to take them to Israel. This trip was booked in middle of November. I had a thought and then booked it. Israel is […]
我訪問香港 (My Visit to Hong Kong)
As with most of my other trips, this was a spur of the moment decision. Ken had already been to Hong Kong and told me how nice it was and the pictures he took there looked pretty amazing. I hadn’t seen any of Asia and really wanted to. My Seoul trip was also spur of […]
서울 방문 – 관광 (My Visit to Seoul – Sightseeing)
You’ll have to bear with me with this post. I am going to talk about the general sightseeing and everything that is not related to the previous 3 posts. When I wasn’t doing tours and palaces, I was out in the sun wandering around and sightseeing. I did a city sightseeing bus tour. It was […]
서울 방문 – 비무장 지대 (My Visit to Seoul – Demilitarized Zone)
This post will concentrate on the visit I made to the DMZ When I initially booked the tour, it was for a visit to the DMZ and the Panmunjom peace village. If you are unsure of what Panmunjom is and its significance, you can click to read about it. This was the tour I was […]
서울 방문 – 북촌 한옥 마을 (My Visit to Seoul – Bukchon Hanok Village)
This post will concentrate on the visit to Bukchon – the Hanok village. A Hanok is a traditional Korean house that was introduced during the Joseon Dynasty. Korean architecture is very structured. It considers the position of the house in relation to its surroundings. Thought is also given to the land and the seasons when […]
서울 방문 – 궁전 (My Visit to Seoul – Palaces)
I decided about 6 months before I was due to travel that I would love to see Asia and The Orient. I had a friend who had been to Hong Kong and told me how awesome it was. I decided that I would book a trip to that part of the world and Seoul was […]
