December 10, 2015
After our experiencing our first night in the capsule, we made our way to Akihabara (aka nerd central) to see for ourselves the array of manga, anime, video games and electronic components. We weren’t disappointed and saw everything from collectable Pokemon cards to glasses with video cameras mounted in the frames. After being dragged around … More Crazy things happen in Tokyo – Things to do
Narita Airport to Tokyo and a Capsule hotel
December 9, 2015
Our flight from Bangkok Don Meung Airport to Narita Airport in Tokyo took just over 5 hours. We landed at around 7:30pm to pitch black and freeing cold conditions, something which we definitely haven’t been used to over the last month.

A brief stay in Hanoi
December 4, 2015
We only had a few days remaining on our Vietnamese Visa, and a flight back to Bangkok booked for December 1st, so unfortunately we only got to spend 2 nights in Hanoi.

We took a short flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Denang. The flight was around an hour and we decided this would be the most efficient way to get to Hoi An, rather than a long bus journey on bumpy roads. We arrived in the evening and got a taxi to our homestay (which … More Hoi An Ancient Town
Ho Chi Minh City
November 27, 2015
Ho Chi Minh city is crazy, from motorbikes and pushbikes weaving in and out of the heavy traffic to the ‘experience’ of simply crossing the road. There is lots to do here so you’ll never be bored and there is also a lot of history in the city. We arrived in Ho Chi Minh City, … More Ho Chi Minh City

November 20, 2015
One thing on our checklist before we came to Cambodia was to visit the infamous killing fields of the Khmer Rouge reign of the country. We did some research into trips to the Choeung Ek killing fields and the Tuol Sleng (S21) genocide museum and decided that the best way for us to do … More Cambodia’s Choeung Ek Killing Fields and Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S-21)
Teaching English in Cambodia
November 19, 2015
A few days ago we took some time out of our travels to give something back. We saw and advert outside a local school, and contacted them regarding their advert. We went along to the school the next day, and helped out in a class of younger children. The children were all really happy and … More Teaching English in Cambodia
