The Treasures of Siem Reap
Our trip to Siem Reap was quite a a special occasion. We took the bus. More specifically the night bus. Even more specifically, we took a night bus that had beds instead of seats! The beds were bunk beds that could fit 4 people in total. They came with small airplane pillows and blankets. They ...
A Day Out On The HK Island

The more you start to pay attention at the people around you, the more you can understand certain cultural trends. I ...
