The shared taxi to Mount Popa gave me the opportunity to meet 3 Koreans. Our hostels were right next door. As we cycled on the way to see the temples, they passed us by and invited us to join their donation day. I had no idea where we were going but they had a bunch…
We left Yangon about 8PM and arrived Bagan about 5AM. The taxi from bus station to Old Bagan costs 8,000 Ks even though it was less than 10 minutes drive. There was an entrance fee of $20 per person which surprised us. Although, this will entitle you to get to all the temples. On the…
Myanmar is on my top list of countries to visit this 2015. I got a one way flight from Kuala Lumpur to Yangon via AirAsia for $76. I landed in Yangon on January 20, 2015. Finally! It was like a dream came true to me. 🙂 Yangon’s airport is tiny. The immigration was fast. I…
I did not have any idea about this place until one of the receptionists in Reggae Mansion suggested it to me. On my way out, I saw a guy from Colombia and a girl from UK in the lobby so I asked them if they want to join me and they did. We took a…
I am not a party person but I really enjoyed the Reggae Mansion’s Rooftop Bar. I was literally on the rooftop every night. Reggae music is being played early in the evening then it will be switched to a party music around 10PM. More party and crazy music starts at 12 midnight where people can’t…
I took KTM to Batu Caves from KL Sentral. One way ticket only cost RM 2.00 and the travel time was about 25 minutes. Once you exit the station, just turn right to Batu Caves. You will pass by this big statue and a temple. Then there is this beautiful tall statue of Murugan and…
I checked in and Lovely, a Filipina receptionist greeted me with a smile. Reggae Mansion Hostel is a bomb. I really like it here. I am in a 24-bed dorm. It sounds crazy and this is the biggest dorm I have ever been. The room is very spacious though and since the bed has curtain,…
I took a train from Bangkok to Butterworth because I have to be in Kuala Lumpur to meet a friend. I was in Penang couple weeks ago just for a day so I decided to come back for 3 nights to relax after the exhausting two weeks in Bangkok. Since I’ve seen Georgetown the first…
I left Manila, Philippines to backpack (for the first time, alone) some parts of Southeast Asia in July of 2014. I started in Singapore then I flew to Cambodia. From Cambodia, I traveled by land to Vietnam, Laos and ended in Thailand in October. I was 27 years old then. Most of the backpackers I…
I had to stay in a hostel for couple nights because my friend’s dad would be home. I spent a day with my roommate from Germany. On our way to Wat Pho, we saw this in the park. There must be some kind of event later on. We paid 100 baht to enter Wat Pho…
Not only it was my first time to spend New Year in Bangkok but also my first time to do the countdown somewhere. My friend Jenny and her sister Cyn decided that we will do the countdown at Asiatique. As I expected, it was crowded. I opted to buy this thing we put on our…
Before I left Penang, I had breakfast with the two Chinese girls at the Dimsum place. I took a bus from Komtar bus station to the ferry terminal and again the fare was MYR 1.40. I didn’t have to pay anything to board the ferry back to the train station. I arrived around 1pm and…
