A Day in Hanoi

Lake of the Returned Sword

I've been delaying this post for months now I'm so sorry. I got too busy playing League of Legends, my new Alpha Sapphire, and Ragnarok hahaha! Now I'm actually rushing this because I need to leave for my cousin's wedding in a few hours, so I apologize in advance for the overload of photos.

That Time I Joined A Buddhist Pilgrimage

When I was planning my Vietnam itinerary, I had been searching for activities that most people -- at least in my circle haven't done yet, just so I have something new to share. My research led me to this temple called Perfume Pagoda near Hanoi, which sounds pretty interesting I mean who wouldn't be curious about a temple called 'Perfume?" So I read more and learned about the Buddhist festival every February to March at the temple, which by the way is Buddhism's most sacred place in all of Vietnam.

Bay of the Descending Dragons

Okay this is it, I'm finally working on my Vietnam blog! Pushing my Taiwan blog to the latter posts since most people (I think) would be more interested in my 11-day trip across Vietnam.

I'm actually smiling while writing this because the entire trip's probably my most memorable one. If you're not aware, I did my first ever (hopefully not the last) solo backpacking trip just this February in Vietnam. That's 11 days from Hanoi in the north to Saigon in the south.

Noodles for the People

I went back to Singapore last year to "tour" my titas aka the #TitasOfSultanKudarat. A lot of our activities were very tourist-y since they were first-timers, so I didn't get to explore the non-touristy places in Singapore. As the itinerary master, I made sure to bring them to my favorite noodle house in Singapore that I've been craving for since I first visited them two years ago.
