Asia Travel Guide

We feel small! We feel poor! We feel ugly, but we feel blessed by the fortune of seeing such a collection of art masterpieces, in this large complex. It's impossible to go to Bangkok without this palace in mind. Go with time (there are crowds) and if you're not in an escorted visit read what you can before going, or... in place. It's fantastic!

A comida de rua abunda em Banguecoque.

As I was living near this avenue, I was a regular client of these food stalls, where,...

If you don't already know, the tastiest Singapore food and dishes are found in hawker centres in the residential areas. And Newton Hawker Centre is one of the many except that it is very well known but the food is more expensive than hawker centres visited by locals. There is also another problem. Hawker centres are not air conditioned and you...

Batu Caves are north of the centre of KL, near the suburb of Gombak. It is a sacred site to Hindus, and when you arrive you'll see a huge golden statue of Lord Murugan next door to a large set of steps.

"Good Lord! There is a big hole in the ceiling...

The museum is excellent if one critically keeps in mind that only one side of the coin is shown here. Rooms are modern and with AC and text in English and Vietnamese.

A very serious advice: Pay attention to every detail of the explanation done by your guide (person or book), during the visit: that way you will find out that "peace and harmony" is the dominant concept all across the place. You will visit doors, palaces and halls of all kinds of peace and harmony: Supreme harmony, preserving harmony, Heavenly...

A friend of ours flew from Shanghai and gave us a treat at this restaurant. This is one of the finest restaurant we've seen in Beijing that caters both for locals and tourists.

Food stalls can be found at literally every corner. It'll take a little courage to eat in some of them as the food looks uncommon if not strange or inedible - but you'll most likely be satisfied afterwards. Basically all of them have their "menu" visible on a large plastic sign. If you plan to eat in food stalls, it might be a good idea to learn...

Secondly, the tour guide (Johnny) has bad attitude, didn't speak good English, aggressive, and...
