#JaFun Birthday Adventure

Summer in Japan.

The first time I went to Japan, the leaves were falling, the foliage had already started to turn orange, and it was getting colder as days went by. Most streets in Tokyo's financial districts don't sleep at all, and people still wear their corporate attires even at two in the morning. Despite the busy crowd of Tokyo, I was still in awe. How can a big city become so clean and so organized despite having a population of more than ten million? I thought maybe these things only exist in Tokyo. But, Japan is known for being Japan. Man, I couldn't have been more wrong about it.

The Bangkok Traffic Story

The famous night clubs and entertainment strips were closed, and almost all the locals wore black.

4 Essential Actions To Take Before You Go Traveling

Traveling, planning routes, times, and places to go can be exhausting and prove hard work. However, doing all of this is part of the process, and you’re gearing yourself up for the fun part, and arguably, some of the best fun you’ll have in your lifetime. When it comes to packing your bags in preparation for your expedition, you’re going to want to find out how the experts and the experienced travelers go about it.

Five minutes after we departed Changi International Airport, the seatbelt sign has finally been switched off by the captain. The cabin crew stood up and started to serve hot meals.

What if one day I would just quit my job, pack my bags, and just travel around the world?
