So, mm, my flight was delayed, and damn, they didn’t compensate me at all, no snacks or whatsoever. I was really pissed because I was charged $60 for my overweight backpack, but, ok, this and that were different. I was still in the wrong. But I really didn’t like it because it meant that I’d …
Going to Australia: Tasmania Chapter
This might sound like a lie–i.e. I might look stupid, but to be honest, I didn’t know about Tasmania before my friend finally mentioned it. (Yeah, I know Tasmanian devil but somehow it didn’t click). So, umm, my friend said that Tasmania looked like New Zealand; i.e. it’s like the mini New Zealand, so if …
Going to Australia: Melbourne Chapter
The reasons I decided to visit Melbourne were 1) it just didn’t feel right to visit only Sydney, 2) I had another friend I could stay with, and 3) I kinda wanted to visit Monash university and another part of Aussie. I mean, I heard many friends are actually studying in Monash. And it turned …
Going to Australia: Sydney Chapter (part I)
I had never been to Australia before so it was my first time visiting the country. It’s the 22nd country I visited (including my own country, just to make it look many. LoL) and it made it the 4th continent I went to. I had never thought I wanted to go to Australia before, but …
Winter Road Trip, December 2018 (Part III)
So, well, we finally made it to our destination, Mt. Rushmore, and continued the road trip and finally made it home safe. It was crazy, though. We were supposed to stay a night at Santa Fe, NM before returning to Tucson, AZ. But I guess we’ve been too tired so we just headed straight to …
Winter Road Trip, December 2018 (Part II)
This is the continuation of my previous post. But before I continue, I want to reflect on that incident. I think about what I did, and I am actually glad that when something “bad” happened, instead of blaming others, I looked into myself first. I might be too self-centered, but it is not that bad …
Winter Road Trip, December 2018 (Part I)
This winter I was road-tripping with my friend in the US from Dec 19-Dec 26, 2018. We wanted to go to warmer places since it was winter but we’ve visited most of the warm states, so we didn’t really have that many options. Well, we could have been to another country like Mexico City in …
Going to Europe: The Episode of Oslo, Norway
First of all, Norway is the fifth European country that I visited (I’m not counting UK). Second of all, Oslo is a very beautiful city and I really love it. Third of all, I had bad experience going to and traveling around the city. It’s such a drama, and let me tell you how or …
Transitting in Japan (part 5): Another drama in Narita
My flight to the US was scheduled to be 10.40am but I seemed to forget that the boarding started at 9.50am. That’s when I realized that requesting 9.30am might be too late for me since I planned to buy the stamp for my postcard and all. I should’ve requested the earlier shuttle when I checked …
Transitting in Japan (part 4): Staying near Narita
On my second transit, I decided to stay near Narita airport because I arrived quite late at night and my friend and I thought that it would cost me the same: staying at her place and staying at a cheap hotel near Narita because the fee that I had to pay to get to her …
