June 1, 2018 by yenkai Leave a Comment

This is my third time to Taiwan in ten years. I have been to all the major tourist attractions, save for Taroko Gorge. Nevertheless, I managed to put together a 9 days itinerary that worked well. Our trip began with sampling the beef noodles at Ling Dong Fang. At 9pm, there was still a queue. … [Read more…]

Hokkaido 9 days itinerary

February 7, 2017 by yenkai 2 Comments

It took 3 days to work out this itinerary and book all the hotels, so you could say a trip to Hokkaido is actually not difficult to plan for. I do still need to work out details like where to go for meals, finding exact view points to see, as well as to book a rental car (that will … [Read more…]

Kyushu 8.5 days itinerary

January 30, 2016 by yenkai Leave a Comment

This is the second leg of my 3 weeks holiday happening in May. Fukuoka is a mere 50 minutes’ flight from Busan, which is why I am combining a trip to Korea with a tour of Kyushu, southern Japan.
