SAPA, VIETNAM

By on June 27, 2020

Good Morning Vietnam!  Coming from Ha Long Bay, it was a very long 14-hour overnight bus ride. It was the best way to get there since there are no airports in Ha long Bay nor Sapa. If you are coming from Hanoi your trip will be a lot shorter. The drive was quite rough because the […]

Good Morning from Japan! After a wonderful day in Kobe, it was off to Tokyo. One recommendation I have is to buy a Japan Rail Pass if you plan on traveling to many places across Japan. My friends and I had bought this pass prior to arriving in Japan. It is $300 USD but so worth […]
