It was great to spend time with our families during the holidays. We met up with some friends from Vancouver along the way of our journey in Europe and also made new friends. Since we are in Asia for the winter months, we timed our trip to be in Manila for Christmas for our Lola […]
We arrived in Hong Kong during the week before Christmas for a short stay before heading to Manila for Christmas & New Years with family. Our itinerary is sometimes directed by flights and stopovers. Since we flew Cathay Pacific from Siem Reap, it was an easy decision to head into HK as we always enjoy […]
Delicious food, cheap drinks & spa massages are wonderful after touring the temples. Siem Reap is a pleasant small town and growing it’s popularity. What makes it special like other delightful places are the locals. They are warm and very welcoming to us tourists. We felt very comfortable touring around day & night and always […]
There are many reasons to visit Angkor Wat. It’s one of the largest religious sites in the world and also famous from Laura Croft’s Tomb Raider. We toured the temples over a 3 day pass and highly recommend given it’s sheer size. We chose to see the historical site through the camera lens with a […]
We headed to Khao Lak beach of the Phang Nga province in Thailand for some water and sand time. Khao Lak is about 1 hour from Phuket airport and was hit hard in the 2004 tsunami. The town rebounded with new resorts since the catastrophe but still managed to maintain a much quieter and secluded […]

Bangkok…how do we begin to describe this city. Many thoughts come to mind with Bangkok. It’s gritty and most parts dirty but also got luxe and modern squeezed between it. There’s definitely contrast in every corner, the mix of old and new amongst all the hustle and bustle. This is the makeup of vibrant Bangkok. […]
Georgetown, Penang was full of colours, despite the short visit, we managed to capture quite a few photos. Aside from arts and food, the people and streets was also as vibrant.
Our visit to Penang was like an episode of Anthony Bourdain’s show “The Layover”. It was a 48 hour marathon of eating street food, various cafe’s and restaurants. The food in Georgetown, Penang is legendary – Southeast Asia’s finest where a mix of cultures have contributed to their culinary melting pot. Chinatown, Little India, hawker stalls and […]
