Ordinarily, it’s no contest that I’d choose culture and cuisine over a nice beach and agreeable climate. Yet, with direct flights to Sanya from Lukou at around ¥500 each way promising pastures greener in just over 3 hours, it...
The first order of business was learning how to cross the street. There are 5 million motorbikes in Hanoi among a population of about 7 million. They rush in and out of intersections like floodwaters. Pedestrian crossings are nothing...
Concluding my 1 and a half years of study in the UK, I planned to travel alone somewhere else before I got stuck with possible work. I chose Japan to run away from the hustle and bustle of China,...
