    A Short Getaway in Vung Tau & HCM

    Just four weeks after our short trip to Ho Chi Minh, we went on another short trip back to Ho Chi Minh. But since we had five days this time, we also hopped on a minibus to nearby Vung Tau for a change of scenery, and only spent the last day in Ho Chi Minh.

    Long Weekend in Ho Chi Minh

    The last time we were in Ho Chi Minh, WJ and I managed to get stuck in the toilet of our hotel room. And he had to kick a hole in the door for me to crawl through to get help. Thankfully, nothing epic happened this time. We just had simple fun exploring the city!

    Welcoming Spring in Heidelberg

    The picturesque city of Heidelberg along the Neckar River is famous for its romantic cityscape and being a college town with prestigious universities and the oldest university in Germany founded in 1386! What attracted us was its blend of old-world charm and vibrant student life, and we knew we had to visit the city while planning our trip to Germany!

    Rainy Nuremberg

    Most of the time we were in Nuremberg, we were wishing "Rain, rain, go away!". Because sadly for us, it was raining for all 4 days we were there. We tried not to let it affect our time there too much by visiting mostly indoor places, but unfortunately, we couldn't fully enjoy Nuremberg because of the rain! We'll have to come again another time!

    Snowing in Triberg

    Just a week before we flew from Singapore, we checked the weather forecast for Triberg (and the other places we were travelling in Germany) and it was between 5 to 15°C. Imagine our shock when we touched down at Frankfurt airport and it was... Snowing!

    Lost at Lake Como

    A minute before we rolled into Varenna Esino station where we wanted to start our day at Lake Como, an announcement came up about walking to the front of the train as the railway was shorter at the station. We were at the last cabin of the train, and the announcement in English was broadcasted just as the train rolled to a stop.

    A Christmas Weekend in Venice

    We had high expectations for Venice, and the island did not disappoint. It was a surreal experience being in a city that "floats" without a single car or bus. But instead, waterbuses and water taxis were used. Just like a kelong - but bigger, grander, and way cooler.
