Asia has always been fascinating to me. Though I’ve only been to a few countries in Asia, I’ve had some incredible experiences in those countries. In my opinion, Asia is much more exciting culturally and visually than many other parts of the world. Here are a few of glimpses of Asia through my eyes. [...]
I was recently recounting one funny Taiwan haircut incident to my mom and then realized how much I missed my old stylist, Eddie, who is the hair master at Mix & Match hair salon in Taipei. Though my first year in Taiwan I lived in Hsinchu, and the second year I lived in Puli, I [...]
One of my most unforgettable travel experiences while living in Taiwan was the day I drove up Hehuan Mountain for the first time. Hehuan Mountain, sometimes called “The Switzerland of Taiwan,” is located on the boundaries on Nantou and Hualien counties (two of the top most beautiful counties to explore in Taiwan). Hehuan Mountain was [...]
I was deeply saddened this week to learn of the latest issue between Taiwan and the Philippines, two countries I love. For those of you who aren’t aware, you can read a recent recap of the events here. I posted a long comment after this article which offended some Taiwanese people. But let me make [...]

This one time in Ireland … While spending my final semester of college studying in Dublin, I was robbed. Yes, robbed. My [...]
Though flying over to Asia from the opposite side of the planet isn’t always cheap when it comes to airfare cost, once you’re on the continent you’ll find many of the countries will be friendly to your pocketbook. Though I only visited Taiwan, Thailand, the Philippines and (briefly, South Korea, Japan and Hong Kong), I [...]
It seems the number of travel blogs out there keep on growing. I do have my favorite travel bloggers/writers but then there are those others. I find that many new travel bloggers appear to all be saying the same thing — “I left my cubicle job and boring life to travel around the world for [...]
If you are eager to go on a cruise full of culture and fantastic weather (who wouldn’t like that!) why not consider booking a route that goes through Asia? Take a vacation to this part of the world and expect to come across ancient landmarks, jaw-dropping natural scenery and friendly locals. That isn’t to say [...]
