    I’ve been to Ilocos 9 years ago and I’m sure there’s a number of sights developed within those years. I even can’t remember some places we’ve been to. The first time we went there, we rode a private car. This year, we’re off for an impromptu adventure! Just 1 week of preparation and off we…

    Now I take you again in Japan. This time, it’s in Himeji. It is a city in Hyogo perfecture, near Kobe where we actually stayed for 3 months. Himeji is the most magnificent of the handful of Japanese castles that survive in their original (nonconcrete) form. Although there have been fortifications in Himeji since 1333,…

    On our last day, all we did was to shop! Bangkok is the place to be for cheap clothes! We can’t decide how to go about our direction inside the market since it’s too big. We ended up going on way and didn’t explore the side streets. We shopped for 2 hours or so in…

    After a long day in Ancient Siam, we watched the best cultural show in Thailand: Siam Niramit. We only got the Show tickets without the buffet since we don’t want to stuff ourselves again. We bought it thru Nim for just Bht 1100 and that includes the transfers. This is cheaper compared to the published…
