Whenever I visit Bangkok from my home province, I like taking the Chao Phraya River taxi up to Nonthaburi, which takes about an hour. Along the way, I always notice the old wooden structure that has stood out to me since my first visit in 2004. It’s a historic teakwood building...

I saw an aircraft in the old Piedmont Airlines livery at O’Hare today. It caught my attention because I had honestly forgotten about this airline and its branding.

I recently returned from a 7-night MSC Seashore cruise (Port Canaveral → Nassau → Cozumel → Costa Maya → Ocean Cay) and wanted to share a detailed trip report since this community helped me plan the journey. We planned the entire trip independently without cruise excursions,...

I recently noticed a change in the Cathay Pacific lounge arrangement in Manila. It seems the dedicated CX lounge has been removed, and passengers are now directed to use the airport’s general lounge instead. While the replacement lounge itself looks visually fine, the experience...

I spent around two weeks backpacking through the Balkans and followed this route: Budapest (2 nights): Stayed at Maverick Central Market. Great location and an easy place to start the trip with a social atmosphere. Belgrade (4 nights): Stayed at Smart Hostel. Surprisingly...

I recently had a great experience arriving early for a high-speed rail connection at Paris Gare de Lyon, where I ended up dining at Le Train Bleu. The setting, service, and overall atmosphere were exceptional and made the wait for my train feel like part of the journey itself....

I’m currently staying at the Hilton in Cancun, and the weather is extremely hot and humid right now. It’s honestly been a bit overwhelming, so I’ve mostly been staying indoors where it’s cooler and more comfortable. Just wanted to share a quick update from here.

I really like Air France because it seems to be one of the few airlines that allows free advance seat selection for bulkhead seats without requiring elite status. On most other airlines, I usually need Platinum or another elite tier to access bulkhead seating before check-in...

I flew SEA–ICN in Alaska Airlines economy and expected a worse experience based on prior trip reports, but it turned out to be generally satisfactory. The onboard food was surprisingly good and in some cases better than what I have had on JAL and Cathay flights out of SFO. My...

The MGM Grand casino floor is absolutely massive. I swear you can walk half a mile just trying to get from blackjack to your room. I actually liked the place more than I expected, but blackjack at MGM really chewed me up this trip. Between some rough cards and not-so-great...

I was on Acela 2151 this morning and I owe an apology to everyone who has complained about the seat comfort. I used to think people were exaggerating or just being picky, but I can now confirm the seats are genuinely uncomfortable in a very strange and unexpected way. It...

I am really frustrated with my experience using IndiGo. During web check-in, I was not allowed to complete the process without paying for seat selection, which costs around ₹1000 extra. This feels unreasonable because I have already paid about ₹10,000 for the ticket itself. The...

One of my favorite public transport experiences while traveling has been using the traditional Dghajsa boats in Malta. We used these small water taxis, which typically seat around six people, to travel between Senglea in the Three Cities and Valletta across the Grand Harbour....

I just returned from a six-day trip to London, ending on Monday, May 25th, and wanted to share a brief summary. Overall, I found the locals extremely friendly and helpful throughout the trip. I stayed at the Claremont Charing Cross, which worked well for its central location and...

Growing up, I constantly heard about famous artworks like the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo through school, documentaries, and media. Over time they started to feel almost unreal, like cultural icons rather than actual physical objects. During my trip, I visited the Louvre on a...
