01 : Nara, JAPAN [Typical Sightsee-er, Luxury Traveller, Foodie]
In 2019, I visited Japan. I visited the Nara Deer Park in Kyoto, which also included many different temples and food stalls. The deer park is famous for all the different temples and it's known for the dears bowing their necks to the tourists as a sign of respect and the tourists giving the girls food from the local stalls.
Seeing all the deer as soon as we entered the area was a really exciting experience, as you don't experience that in any other country besides Japan. If you had food, herds of deers would huddle around you to try and get the food that you bought. It was a large area filled with different kinds of deers and it was packed with many tourists. Once you kept walking through the park, there was a very big castle with an art museum inside with local Japanese art and also different kinds of Japanese teas.
Kyoto was the second Japanese area we visited in the one month trip, and it was very nice seeing the different types of scenery in Japan; like bamboo forests and the different temples and castles in the town. We went on and off different buses heading to different locations and it lasted a whole day of sightseeing and touring, it was really an unforgettable experience and I highly recommend it to other people visiting Japan.
02 : Bali, INDONESIA [Adventurer, Foodie]
There are many highlights towards my Bali trip including going to a monkey zoo which was caged, trying our very unique different types of teas, And exploring the local community by roaming around outside our hotel.
When I heard it was a monkey zoo, I got really excited as monkeys are a really cool animal, and when I heard it was uncaged, I was pretty worried but I would've never guessed that the monkeys are actually not in cages at all. They were all spread apart; it was quite an unforgettable experience and also slightly scary. The area itself was beautiful even without the monkeys, but with them, it just adds a whole other dimension which really makes it stand out in any other place we went to.
Indonesia also has this place where you can try different types of local teas and coffees which are freshly brewed by either of the staff or by yourself. There is a specialty that they have in the menu, which is a type of animal feces (which is apparently healthier in a way). It would've been a waste not to try it since it is another country, so we did try it and it's weird to say that it was actually pretty good.
03 : Singapore, SINGAPORE [Luxury Traveller, Foodie, Photojournalist]
In 2013, I went to Singapore as well as Malaysia and Thailand. We stayed in Marina Bay Sands for a couple of days to try out how the best hotel in Singapore was like. The hotel itself was amazing. There were three different towers and one floating infinity pool at the top, which you could see a clear view of Singapore from the top - including the famous Merlion, Crown Casino and at night, some gardens would light up and it would look really nice -.
The gardens were called ‘Gardens by the Bay' and a lot of movies have been there, due to its aesthetic features and how well it looks. It's a very post-worthy area and it's a must when visiting Singapore. With a view like that, you'll never be able to get over it even if you see it every day. Singapore is a very clean and underrated Asian country and I would love to go back just for the experiences. The food also was pretty cheap but they tasted really nice, which is great.
04 : Bangkok, THAILAND [Adventurer, Typical Sightsee-er, Foodie]
Thailand is known for their food and for their temples. Every single place we ate at was delicious and it's unlike any other Thai food you could eat just somewhere. The food itself just tasted the best, like nothing could ever beat it. The wait time for the food ordering was also really fast, which was impressive since we ordered a lot and it was kind of complicated as well but when we tasted it, it was very yummy.
We also visited many golden temples which had Thai people working there making their own clothing by weaving, and there are also some hand painted shirts and canvases. They also were selling a lot of jewellery, which are incredibly good quality and worth a lot. Seeing pictures of the temples makes me reminisce back to the times where seeing the gold itself shine in the sun was a magnificent sight.
05 : Hong Kong, HONG KONG/CHINA [Luxury Traveller, Photojournalist]
In 2014, I visited Hong Kong and Macau. The highlight of the trip was experiencing Venetian boats and having our own personal rower to guide us around a very nice area with other tourists doing it as well. The atmosphere was really nice as the person guiding us around and was also singing and greeting us and the other people as well with a really really exciting tone which would boost anyone's mood.
