Tokyo Hotel Reviews
In my recent trip to Tokyo, I had stayed in 3 different hotels. I know, you must be thinking “why in the world would I do that?”. Well, I don’t blame you because I hate changing hotels with the packing and unpacking, the boring waiting time to check in and getting used to the new bed and pillows… My reason is I planned a day travel out of Tokyo to the nearest onsen town, Hakone for a one night stay. Since I broke the whole 7-day Tokyo trip into two, so I might as well enjoy staying in another hotel to try the hospitality of Tokyoites. Therefore, this blog is…

A day in Lexis Hibiscus Port Dickson Malaysia
The kids were having a school break and we decided to go for a road trip in Malaysia and stayed in one of the award-winning resorts, Lexis Hibiscus Port Dickson. I had been to Port Dickson many years ago with friends and we stayed in a chalet near the beach. At that time, there wasn’t any water villa above the sea. So this time, I want to fulfil my dream of at least staying in a water villa once in my lifetime. Port Dickson is not too far away, about three and a half hours drive from Singapore. It is one of the coastal towns near Kuala Lumpur. Not a…

Should bloggers approach hotels for collaboration?
I came across this article and wanted to share with you regarding influencers asking hotels for free stay in exchange for recommending the hotels to their followers. Let me summarise the story. It was a 22-year-old YouTube cum Instagram star, who wrote an email to a hotel to ask for free room stay in exchange for featuring the hotel in her YouTube video and Instagram story. But the hotel owner responded no with sarcastic remarks, and most importantly, the hotel owner wrote his response on its hotel’s Facebook page, showcasing the influencer’s email request.

How I spent one day in Venice
Most of my friends who had been to Italy would surely recommend Venice as a must-visit city in Italy. A city that is known as a romantic place for couples, a city that is surrounded by sea and canals, no road for vehicles, only walkways for pedestrians and bridges to cross. We reached Venice by high-speed train from Milan. The journey was about 2 hours and 25 minutes. The train ride was comfortable and fast. I bought the train tickets a few months ago before my trip and it was cheap (more than 50% discount on the original price). So if you plan to travel in Italy by high-speed train,…

Hotel review : St Giles Wembley Penang
Located on the busy street of Magazine Road, St Giles Wembley Penang is easily the tallest building on that road (if you do not count The Komtar shopping mall), dwarfing the rest of the buildings surrounding it. To it’s opposite is another hotel, which is much shorter as compared with The Wembley. We drove to this hotel by following the Google Maps. It was easy to find as Magazine Road was a busy street and it was located opposite of The Komtar Shopping Mall and 1st Avenue shopping mall. We parked our car at level 2 and proceeded to the reception at ground floor. There was no queue when we…
