3 worthy reasons for you to get out of Hoi An Ancient Town

We had high expectations for Hoi An – a UNESCO heritage town also known as the magical town of Vietnam. Colourful, hand-painted lanterns hung all across the ancient town shophouses, adding a new charm to the well-preserved buildings at night.  However, we were overwhelmed and confused on the first day.

Lazy 48 hours guide to Hanoi

If this article is not your first one with us, you probably guessed it – our itineraries revolve around food. Well, that’s how it works in Hanoi at least. Walk like 10 steps and you’ll reach a stall selling food.  Vietnamese food is arguably our favourite cuisine in the world. It is more than just Pho.

You only need half a day in Damyang – and it’s worth it

Damyang is located way out of the tourists’ radar. It seems to be in the middle of nowhere so much that some call their trip to Damyang ‘off-the-beaten’ track. Travellers usually don’t include Damyang as part of the itinerary. We too, initially. Until we by chance, had to transfer at the metropolitan city, Gwangju where it only takes 30 minutes to reach the beautiful bamboo forest in Damyang. We stored our baggage at Gwangju Bus Terminal (U-Square) and jumped on…
