The Czech Republic is full of surprises. On this particular trip, it was my second time setting foot in the Czech Republic and I was still mesmerised by the towns that I come across. Brno is not usually a town that probably makes the list of places to visit in the Czech Republic. For me,…

Deoksugung Palace is located at City Hall station and was initially used as a residence Grand Prince Wolsan who was the oldest brother of King Seongjong. This palace is surrounded by modern skyscrapers and feels like a walking through a secret garden portal. This palace used to be lived in by Korea’s royal family up…

If you’re looking for activities to do in Sydney, the famous Coogee (pronounced Koo-gee) to Bondi walk will certainly appear in your search. This walk is 6km along the coastline, passing through other smaller beaches and some of the most expensive properties in Sydney. The walk will take about 2 hours but if you’re going…

Apparently one of the ways to lessen reverse culture shock is to seek out the food or culture back in your home town. Luckily for me, Sydney’s multiculturism means that I can easily find Korean restaurants. Sadly not many Korean style cafes though. In the past few months being back home, I’ve sought out Korean food…

The hanbok is a traditional Korean clothing. It’s been depicted in illustrations since the time of the Three Kingdoms during 57 BC to 668 AD. It was often used to signal a person’s social status as well. For women, the hanbok consists of 2 parts. The top (Jeogori) and skirt (chima). The top is long…

I previously wrote about exploring Korean literature. Now, I’d also like to keep exploring Japanese literature. I’ve noticed so far in my reading adventures that the themes are quite different although I’m just basing it on the availability of translated books. Perhaps it just so happens that these were the popular books that were translated…

Located in the south eastern corner of Poland, the Bieszczady National Park borders onto Ukraine and Slovakia. I imagine getting here via public transport might be difficult but with a car, there is parking available in the National Park to be able to access the hiking trails. My friend and I came by car with…
