Riding around Chengdu in a car (!) with our gracious and lovely host ShanShan. In the video we pass by the main square – Tianfu.

On our last day in Hanoi we check off one last cafe off our list — a hidden rooftop gem: Caphe Pho Co, overlooking the Hoan Kiem lake in the heart of Old Quarter. I had a delicious yogurt coffee with cocoa. Egg coffee is also on offer, both iced and hot! Don’t miss Caphe…
We spent half a day at Novodevichy Monastery, and thoroughly enjoyed it – few people /tourists and enclosed walls make it feel like a peaceful sanctuary far away from Moscow’s hustle and bustle. But you still get the most awesome, amazing churches that are definitely worth seeing. Great weather helps too. The monastery was built…
A happy hour in Kunming, China – a necessary luxury sometimes.
End of delightful Day 2 of Thakhek Loop, we stopped in the Thong Lor village right outside the famous 7.5 km cave. The cave comes complete with a river, a boat trip, and is definitely worth the trip. As is the countryside in Thong Lor – just beautiful.
Hiking around the hills of Lake Inle with our guide Thanzin (like Dancing) — from Sunny day tours, he was great! — and Mr. Peter.
We are in the capital of Laos, Vientiane. The waterfront of the Mekong river seems to be a popular spot at dusk, and we definitely enjoyed surveying the scene. Have a look for yourself!
