Sihanoukville – My First Impression

Sihanoukville is the main destinations of locals and foreign travellers who want to see and experience the beaches of Cambodia. It’s proximity to Phnom Penh makes it an easy destination to go to.

How to Go to Sihanoukville from Siem Reap

The options to go to Sihanoukville from Siem Reap is pretty much easy and straightforward. We booked our tickets in our hostel for a direct bus (stop and change bus at Phnom Penh) for only $9.

Malacca, Malaysia – My First Impression

Malacca is one of the most beautiful and photogenic places that I’ve been to in Southeast Asia. We were in Malacca last December 2010 and we enjoyed our stay very much.

They also host art exhibitions by various artists from Cambodia and other [...]

Sleeping in Airports – Changi Airport in Pictures

After spending almost a month in Indonesia (almost three weeks in Bali and a week in Yogya), we flew to Singapore and decided to spend the night in Changi Airport and take the bus first thing in the morning to Johor Bahru en route to Malacca. I’ve slept in some airports in my previous trips. [...]
