Normally there are only three types of tickets you can get in the Hong Kong Disneyland : the regular day ticket, the peak day ticket, and the special day ticket. See my previous entry to see which ticket is applicable for which days of the year.
This summer, however, Hong Kong Disneyland is offering a “Summer […]
Sri Lanka is definitely one of the most visited places in Asia. Whether you’re after white sand beaches, or mountain trekking, or cultural city tours, Sri Lanka always has something to offer. And that’s why it’s no surprise if tourists are flocking.

When I first read this, I thought it was preposterous. On second reading, well, yes, if the basis of courtesy is holding doors open for someone else and or saying “Thank you”, well, yes, maybe.
But are Asians really rude? Thai’s (yes, even those in Bangkok) are some of the most polite people I’ve ever […]
In the beginning, when I see airfare sales, I immediately itch to book a flight and travel. Over the course of writing this blog, however, I discovered that nearly at any point in the calendar year, there’s some sort of promo going on anyway. Some better than the others, but still, unless it’s a free […]
I stumbled across this piece of Q&A from the International Herald Tribune. The question goes:
We’re planning to visit Hong Kong for a week in June, though I know it’s going to be terribly hot. Can you recommend things to do and see?
