Fun & Relaxing Oasis in Pattaya
Our family went to this establishment at the end of December, and the outdoor weather is just perfect. The hotel provides complementary access to their Waterpark, Astro Club (Arcade & Board Games), Breakfast and Mini Bar. We got the Space Connecting room and it is quite spacious for my active kids to play and walk around in the room. The view from the balcony is amazing since it is facing the ocean and the waterpark. I recommend you to get a breakfast on their rooftop restaurant since from here you will get the best view.
I am not sure if this only applies to December period, but their waterpark and swimming pool have a very cold water and it could be unbearable for some people. Also, the waterpark is not that big, however it will be enough to satisfy kids below 10 years old. Other than that they have a very nice decoration and if you love taking pictures you will definitely get a good results here.

Huangshan in December
After hearing so much praise about Huangshan, I finally made my way to these marvelous mountains to see with my own eyes.
And they sure didn’t disappoint.
Being one of the most famous national parks in China, it is easily accessible (trains/buses) and the environment is well kept.
It is as well visited by lots of tourists every day, so picking the right date is crucial to the impression you’ll be left with. I made my trip on the last two days of December and and it proved to be a good time for visiting. #mountainview #decembertravel

OCT INTERLAKEN
We spent a day at the Interlaken Spa and hot spring resort over the weekend. The place really is beautiful with a breathtaking landscape.
This is a great location for relaxation and, of course, beautiful pictures.
In the area are lots of hot springs and a theme park nearby.
This area is also a hotel with private villas so one can spend the weekend here. It feels like you’ve stepped out of China for a moment because of the architecture.
There is a restaurant in the hotel and also a store inside to buy swim suits and other items you may need during your stay.
To get here you can take a didi or subway line 2/8 all the way to the end then didi to the location.

Greatfull Night at Akira Back Restauran
Had a wonderful time at Akira Back, had amazing service provided by K. Nonnie. Would recommend coming here for any occasionsGreat food, Excellent service by khun nonny & Khun nam and beautiful atmosphere.
Perfect place for dinner or celebrating special occasion!!We have order a set of omakase and the food are good indeed.
Everything is very delicious. A fusion of Japanese traditional with modern Asian twist Nonny's service is great :)
Every dish has distinctive features and is unique from typical Japanese food -more alike to fusion
Exellent food and service.
Very innovative contemporary food with Korean and Japanese.
Tuna pizza was fair enough to try.
It was happy to see Korean chef and listening story of Akira Back's story.
Interesting combination between Japanese and American cuisine. Grilled dish was cooked to order and remained its original and natural flavor. Dessert here was really worth a try. Staff was prompt in service and explained the dining concept carefully to us upon ordering.

Good Japanese restaurant in Bangkok
Very place and good restaurant with amazing service, especially Ms.Peach and Ms.Nam have a great service mind I will recommend my friends to visit here.The food is amazing and the service is also really really good. The atmosphere is also nice. Special tanks to khun Nes and khun Nam for serving me and my family today.
Great food, Excellent service by khun nonny & Khun nam and beautiful atmosphere.
Perfect place for dinner or celebrating special occasion!!
Possibly I was having too high expectation. For starters, I’ve ordered salmon, scallop and tuna pizza, tuna pizza is surprising, but the other 2 are not surprising. Most possibly I won’t try again if I come here again. For the beef taco, not surprising too.
For the main, I’ve ordered beef rib eye and black cod. They both are SUPERB. Beef was so juicy and flavoured. The cod is surprising good too.
Last but not least, staff are very attentive
Akira Back has a wonderful 37th floor sky view in marriot hotel with great food. We spent a birthday dinner here with Nes and Nam as our receptionist and waiter. Their services are wonderful and help us took great photos. Would recommend anyout who’s like to have a chill night out to come
First visit at Akira back with my lovely girl to celebrate her birthday, start with warm welcome by smiling staff around the restaurant, Khun Khopoon provide best take care us with excellent service, also Khun Peach and Khun Aran always keep looking us asking for further need checking our satisfaction, all food we selected was so delicious, If you looking for the best restaurants this place is your choice. Very thank you guys so much for this :)

Happy meal at Goji Kitchen and Bar In Bangkok
Goji Kitchen +Bar
Great variety of food. Fresh ingredients. Highly skilled chefs in each station, making each dish cooked just the way it should be. We especially liked the grilled lamb chops, river prawns, hotate sashimi, foie gras, and the selection of cheeses.
All staffs provide good service, Especially Khun Rana,Fern and K.Gette 😄 Overall today's food is good. according to the quality here 👍🏻We will come again 😊
Casual and attentive service. Thanks to Khun May and Khun Pin who take good care of us. The only problem is that I wish my stomach had bigger space!
The food is good with a variety. Good management on buffet lines, always fill the trays in time despite many people. The staff are very helpful; especially Khun Natt and Khun May who suggest a must dish for us tonight and ensure our table is empty from piles of finished dishes. Such a wonderful evening! Only one thing, foie gras piece us smaller than what we had last time.
Extraordinary international buffet. Lovely and friendly service for khun Beer and Nong Aum as our services. We would definitely come back for more often.

Staycation at Pullman Phuket Arcadia Naithon
my plan was to try all of the Accor hotels in Phuket. I started with the Pullman Arcadia, and just keeping coming back again and again. There are so many highlights it's hard to know where to start. This will be a long one, sorry!
Every Member of Staff:
I don't think I've ever seen a General Manager running around the breakfast restaurant picking up rubbish in between chatting to guests, but this was regular sight. Brett's energy must be infectious as all of the staff shared his friendless and passion for making sure everyone has a memorable stay. Albert at breakfast saw me having to work from my laptop so always went out of his way to "start my day off right" with a special glass of champagne or some other treat. Chefs were a regular sight in the restaurants making sure the diners were happy. Housekeeping quickly noticed I only used one of the Nespresso pod varieties, so gave me extra of those. Even the gardeners stopped pruning the flowers for a quick chat.
The Resort:
Stunning. The grounds are lush and quite spread out, so it never feels crowded. There's the main pool at reception, or a quieter pool higher up the hill with the gym, sauna and kids club. Some of the rooms are quite far away from the main reception area and up steep hills, but buggies whisk you around if you want to spare your knees. There's the usual spa, a chillout room with computers and a pool table, and sofas and daybeds everywhere to relax while you enjoy the panoramic views or "work from home".
Rooms:
Ocean rooms are so close to the waves you can go to sleep to the sounds of them crashing on the rocks if you leave your balcony door open, and also close to the main restaurants/spa/bar/pool. This time I had a Grand Deluxe room which was further up the hill but had sweeping views of the beach and coast. All rooms no matter the category are spacious and light, have plenty of TV channels, comfy beds big enough for 4, a bath and separate shower, nespresso machine and balcony.
Food:
The breakfast buffet is still the best I've ever had. We were at the Six Senses Bali recently and its breakfast was no comparison. The focus is on healthy eating but not at the expense of the decedent stuff - you're on holiday after all. There's a wide variety for western and asian tastes (even green and red curries), all fresh and replenished frequently, and even after 1 week I wasn't bored of the spread. Fresh juice cocktails, excellent coffee, a frozen yoghurt machine, bloody mary station, and the pancake and egg chefs were some of the many highlights. Definitely do not miss breakfast.
For dinner there's an italian restaurant on the top level with stunning sunset views that serves quality pasta and pizza, and the main restaurant offers authentic and reasonably-priced local and western alacarte. Black Ginger is 10 mins away by car if you want to venture out for a pricey but excellent Thai meal.

Good place to stay during ur trip to Bangkok
We had a 3 night stay at the Eastin Grand Hotel Sathorn In their executive suite.
The hotel is located directly opposite the Sursak sky train station which id a great transport link to access any areas of Bangkok. The station platform had a walkway which crossed above the road and led directly to the third floor of the hotel.
Every request was implemented perfectly and I was able to thoroughly enjoy my stay. Many thanks again to the great service staff at the pool and Mr. Boss at the reception. I’ll definitely come back soon
It was just one stop on the sky train (or 10 mins walk) to the river where we took a boat to Wat Arun temple and the grand palace.
On arrival we were warmly welcomed by the doorman and check in staff. The hotel had a large & impressive lobby and our first Impressions were good.
Better than expectation Excellent breakfast Clean room Good internet, speedy Service mind: very good, politely Very close to the Covid 19 swab hospital You should try by yourself Locating just in front of Sky train in Central Bangkok
Our room on the 28th floor, was a dual aspect corner room, with floor to ceiling windows that gave amazing views over the city. It was well equipped, with a separate office area and furnished beautifully throughout.
The bathroom was absolutely massive, it had a large shower plus a freestanding bathtub situated next to the dual aspect windows.
It was so lovely to soak in the bath in the evening looking at the city lights.
We had breakfast on the 5th floor, which was absolutely amazing!
There was so much choice we hardly knew where to start. The food was lovely and the staff so polite and friendly, we looked forward to breakfast every day.
The 14th floor had a large open area overlooking the city. The gym, bar, restaurant and pool were all located there.
The infinity pool had traditional sun loungers at the end, and along its length, funky rattan pods big enough for two.
We grabbed one of those to relax in.
The Gym was impressive for a hotel gym, very well equipped with top quality machines and loose weights.
We didn’t get to eat at the hotel restaurant so cannot comment on the food there.
We had a fantastic stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it !

Memorable moments at the SO/ BANGKOK!!
First time at this hotel – The SO hotel was awesome by every aspect, making my 10 days stay in Bangkok a slice of peace in the heart of this frenetic city.
The hotel oozes with personality orchestrated by a world class staff that goes above and beyond to make your stay memorable, all the way from check in to check out.
Stayed for 2 nights seems not enough, enjoyed the suites so much. Spacious and modern (we choose metal element). If you like high floor then you should choose Water Element. Great service and breakfast. We also enjoyed dinner at So Bangkok with their various items. Quite near to Siam Paragon and Pratunam but it’s located in traffic jam area so need careful with your time plan. There’s vibrant rooftop bar that you could enjoy Bangkok city light.
Stylishly appointed apartments/ rooms (designed over different themes representing the nature elements: Wood, Metal, Water...) , very impressed with the super comfy bed.
Delicious and expansive breakfasts (just keep in mind that weekends can get a bit more crowded but overall things get well managed by a knowledgeable and friendly team).
The lounge on the 25th floor is an interesting place to hang out, especially in the late afternoon to enjoy the complimentary light buffet (free access for guests staying in superior rooms).
The pool/gym area was probably my favourite spot. A relaxation nest offering a stunning view on the city skyline where I enjoyed to end up almost every evening of my stay.
Beautiful hotel, Good location, testy breakfast, the hotel have several type of rooms and I got "Wood theme" of the corner room. It’s very nice with beautiful Lumphini park view that we can run there in the morning. The bed is very comfortable. Also all hotel staffs are friendly, especially So Baiwan is very nice to take care of us. I very happy especially for room upgrading. I was very impressed!
This hotel is extremely well-located, overlooking the Lumpini Park, near the eating/shopping areas of Silom. A stone thrown away from the MRT station (Lumpini) or a 10 min walk to the BTS station (Saladang) from where you can easily reach any place in Bangkok without the hassle of the traffic.
Everything was spotless, definitely on my ‘ Best hotels ever list

Fun to Play with Family in Thailand 👍
In Thailand this is my favorite hotel of choice. Family atmosphere and caring staff. Comfortable and relaxing. Food is excellent and entire Team outstanding! Pool is clean and refreshing, attendants are amazing. Front desk Team is the best, quick, professional and so lovely! The housekeeping staff are so professional....rooms are so clean
One of the best resorts I have stayed and I have been to many. I wrote a legnthy review in the first part of the previous, not knowing I would be asked again and I did not save my previous writing.
The front desk was attentive and ALWAYS professional. Specifically ANNA who took excellent care of me and my son. She understood each and every issue and resolved immediately. She took time out to show my son how to access the hotel's wi-fi on his tablet. She took time out to personally enter information regarding the PCR test to be loaded onto that website. Anytime I came down and if she saw me she ushered me to come to her for assistance. Because she was so helpful, knowledgeable and definitely was a leader I assumed her to be management. Thank you for everything Anna. Additionally, in OASIS - the restaurant in the lobby - Feld, Dunk we the most attentive and fun staff, they not only kept me happy, talked to me and provided excellent service but they are great at what they do. They made me feel SUPER special!
There are a huge green territory, many different swimming pools, a lazy river, slides, playgrounds, trampoline and a kids club.
Near the hotel there are good massage parlors, small cafes and the Terminal Shopping Mall within walking distance.
The staff are very pleasant and always ready to help you.
The food is very good with lots of seafood, grilled meat and deserts.
During this challenging time it’s very hard to travel abroad. We passed several times PCR tests even for a two-year-old baby. And the front office manager, Mr. Phalee was very polite and really helped not only us, but many of the hotel guests to organize all these.Always good service and Following for hygiene standards made us trust and comfortable. Breakfast good quality and full service Extraordinary.
Property: huge and with everything an awesome water play area
Staff: the one person who deserves a big mention is: Ms. ANNA at the reception. She is awesome and deserves a loud thank you to making the start of our trip pleasurable.
Food: Vegetarian Not catered for with love. Really feel left out in this front. Please do something about it.

Staycation at Banyan Tree Bangkok❤️
The location is in the Central Business District of Bangkok.
Horizon Room is very good, large, clean and comfortable, equipped with large sofa in living area.
The working desk is large and comfortable.
Bathroon is tiny space, there is bathtub and shower.
The condition of some equipment such as bathtub was broken.
The fitness area is very large. There are a lot of equipments. The swimming pool on the 21st floor. Its size is quite small for swimming with a few persons.
Breakfast is served as a buffet with a limited of choice either Thai and Western style. The taste is acceptable. Breakfast area is too small comparing with the hotel size and amount of guest. So, the breakfast round has been separated into 3 rounds. In my opinion it is not fair to guest. The hotel should provide more breakfast area for the guest convinience.
The overall service in breakfast is acceptable. I have observed that the foreigners were serviced better than Thai guests. This is the worst point for me in this stay.
What a hospitality! Every employee is very friendly and helpful. They all look up when you pass by, smile and say something nice! We have felt very welcome. We had dinner at Vertigo on the 62nd floor. Wooooow what a view! As a free service, they took and printed a great photo of us! What a surprise! We had plans to go to a museum. Since their service is excellent and the view from our room (47th floor) and the pool (21st floor) is great too, we stayed in the hotel the whole time. We booked one night and loved every minute of it. Very highly recommended
Vertigo Rooftop is great service, lovely staff, great food and great atmosphere. It's great as I have been everytime.
Check in and check out process is slow.
Once again that I had observed the different between Thai and foreigners.
My favourite hotel experience in Thailand yet.
Special thank you to the team at Banyan Tree Bangkok for providing me with such a valuable experience.
What I liked:
The culture of exceptional service.
I especially would like to thank Khun Karn Duty manager for their kind words, help to practise the Thai language and attentiveness in welcoming me to the room. In addition, the kindness and grace of each staff member, from the reception staff to the doormen and staff at the pool, made me feel very welcome. Check-in was smooth, and the late check-out was much appreciated.

Staycation at The Okura Prestige Bangkok⚡
The Okura Prestige is the height of luxury. I travelled with my partner and we absolutely loved the experience. The rooms are very big and we had a beautiful view of the city of Bangkok. The rooms come with so many small touches like a traditional tea leaf set, a night time turn down service with ice and water, a heated toilet seat and Japanese robes. Huge room with superb facilities and an amazing view of the city. arrival in Bangkok before heading to other parts of Thailand and we are so glad we did. The hotel is perfectly located for a first timer in Bangkok, with the BTS Skytrain connected to the hotel giving very quick and air-con public transport to most important sights. Hotel rooms were big, clean and we had a super view on the 30th floor. The bed is very comfortable and we slept (missing jet lag) amazingly from the first night. Breakfast was delicious and varied. Infinity pool on the 25th veranda had awesome views of the city. Service by all staff during our stay was warm and hospitable.
The infinity pool is a nice touch to enjoy a swim at 26 storeys!
The breakfast is great with an extensive selection of continental and Asian dishes. Also the infinity pool looks out onto the whole city and gets plenty of sun.
Every member of staff was so polite and went above and beyond to do everything for us. We are a young couple and most clientele at the hotel is businessmen but we did not feel treated less by the staff. Our only small complaint is that the manager who greeted everyone at breakfast seemed to avoid us. As mentioned we are a young couple and he made us feel slightly inferior by purposefully avoiding us even when the breakfast restaurant did not have many people in it.

Staycation at Phuket Marriott Resort & Spa⚡
Stayed at Merlin Beach for 7 nights. Overall the service and experience was amazing and worth the money.
Checking in we used the hotel taxi service from phuket airport. This is only $20 more than a normal taxi and takes the stress out of pickup with your name on a board and then escorted to the car.
Well laid out with ample place for all types of guests. We were there with our kids and they enjoyed the hotel facilities e.g swimming pool, kids room, kids activities etc.
On arrival we where greeted with smiles and a welcome drink each. Check in was quick and easy.
The room is a 10/10 for cleanliness and modern features for Thailand. Not dated at all. We where in a sea view room which had amazing views. The pool view was also great and would suffice for next time.
Don't listen to the other reviews about the beach. The beach is great and fine and easy to navigate and is safe. Yes at low tide (say post 4pm) the tide goes out and it's a long walk to go for a swim. But you have 3 massive pools you can use. When the tide is out the rock pools are amazing for exploring with hundreds of fish and crabs to look at and explore. When the tide is in the beach is an amazing white sand and th water is crystal clear. The beach had TWO separate massage places that do laundry. One does drinks. These places are amazing and much cheaper than the hotel.
Pool area is great and with 3 pools there is plenty of places to sit. The main pool has a swim up bar and you can also get snacks.
Buffet breakfast was great and had way too many options !!
Only negative is the prices of drinks. Happy hour at the pool bar is 3 to 5 then rum bar at 5 to 7. This is 2 for 1 and makes the prices ok. However compared too thialand in general it's abit expensive.
The concierge is great and can book private cars, tours or whatever you like.
Hotel is about 3KM from Patong / Bangla Street and has frequent shuttle service to the place. The hotel beach has a nice view but can't go in waters, unsafe, unmanned, rocky. Staff were very helpful. Memorable trip, would definitely recommend if you are visiting Phuket for peaceful time.
A heap of taxis wait out the front od the hotel to take you wherever you like. All prices are fixed so no negotiations but also no rip off's. Bangla road is 250 baht taxi and 300 baht tuk tuk away (about 10 mins) All in all this resort is worth the money and in a great location for both relaxing and heading into patong

Recommended Hotel in Bangkok Shopping Area
Checkin was a little manic.
Elevator is very interesting your room card is needed to gain access to your floor and you are unable to go to any other floor other than your room floor and service areas such as pool, restaurant.
Our room was very comfortable with a view of the back streets which gave us an overview of every day life in the streets below.
Pool area was great for just chilling happy hour was between 2 & 4pm daily and offered an assortment of cocktails, wine, beers and soft drinks also a good food menu was provided.
Staff at the pool area were very friendly and helpful.
Location is fantastic for those who love a bargain shop as well as high end shopping can be found in the near by shopping centres.
There is a great choice of food also in the surrounding areas of the hotel a short walk in any direction food can be found.
Breakfast was great a huge selection of food from around the world to please all.
I got the executive club room which came with great benefits (booked directly with the hotel) and access to the club lounge. We spent lovely time in the lounge while enjoying the view. And again staff were good.
And breakfast was splendid.. We had good choices.
Rooms were fine- no complaints. I think the rooms do need some updating in terms of the ac control but nthg to spoil ur sleep or vacation. I didn have to call house keeping for anything much.. most of what I needed was alr in the room and they do make sure to visit the room for regular clean up even if you do not indicate you want the room to be made. This is a plus for me.
Overall I would recommend this hotel to those who just want to pamper themselves a little or simple be in a great city location
We had a wonderful comfortable stay here! Nice breakfast selection, very hospitable hotel staff. Great location, just across from Platinum mall and walking distance to Central World, and Siam Paragon area. 10/10 will definitely stay here again. Good price as well. Spacious room too!

The excellent stay in Carlton Hotel, Bangkok
Carlton Hotel Bangkok Sukhumvit is a five-star hotel that offers 338 elegant rooms and suites, a choice of renowned dining venues including the signature Cantonese restaurant, Wah Lok, and a chic rooftop bar with panoramic views of the cityscape.
the door man said welcome back to us. When we checked-in the manager Khun Palm recognized us right away and made sure the room amenities are set up as I preferred from last visit. The concierge was really polite and helpful. The service at the lobby bar is also beyond expectation. When I tried the drink and it was too sweet, they noticed it right away and offer to redo and make me a new one. All the staff really pay attention to customers. I am really impressed.
The room is really beautiful and spacious, what I like the most is the Japanese toilet. I will definitely come back to Carlton again when I visit Bangkok. Near a lot of massages and terminal 21 mall that has a great variety of shopping. Special mention to Mr Chang and Mr Art for being such a great host as well as all stuff at carlton hotel for making the checking in and out a breeze.
This hotel is superior to others. Newly built and looks exclusive. Bellboys recognise you upon return and special thanks to K.Palm who's take notes in our profiles for amenities and other requests. Also the Front Office Manager and her staff was giving very good service.
The cooling tower rooftop bar has nice drinks with a great view. Also the dimsum is great at the Chinese restaurant.
U won't regret a stay here ;)

Zhujiang New Town - Guangzhou
Zhujiang New Town is where you can find the most famous sights of Guangzhou like the Canton Tower, Guangzhou Opera House, Guangdong Museum, IFC building and the East Tower. Zhujiang New Town is also called Tianhe CBD.
There are many restaurants nearby which will offer fantastic views of the area. The area is also very well served by the metro and shopping malls. In this area you will definitely find anything you need.
I think a visit to Guangzhou would be incomplete if you missed this area. The area plays host to many festivals and celebrations like the Guangzhou International Light Festival, Chinese National Week and Chinese New Year.

Step in live painting: Hongcun village 宏村
A must see after the famous Yellow Mountains is the beautiful 宏村 Hongcun village.
You'll have the feeling to enter into one of the ancient Chinese paintings: little canals, cobblestones streets, picturesque bridges, white buildings and rice fields all around. Those are some of the reasons why this historical site well deserved the World Heritage recognition. l went during winter time and definitely the fog and cloudy weather gave the environment a more mystical athmosphere!
Getting there:
🚌 it’s recommended to take a tour bus from Tunxi Bus Station in downtown Huangshan
🚕 one hour drive by taxi from the Yellow Mountain area.

Yu Gardens, Shanghai
Yu Gardens are ideal to visit if you want some instagram worthy photos. The old streets beside the garden are free to walk around, filled with lights and Chinese culture. I would recommend visiting at night when the area looks like it comes to life.
Walking through Yu Gardens remember to look inside the stores, at certain times of year you can buy local gifts that tie in with events upcoming. I’ve visited in the summer and near CNY so I’ve seen how the stores change their products. Some food stalls are also located inside the Yu area, try some local delicacies while you’re here.

Staycay @ KSL
KSL hotel is one of the most popular hotel in Johor. Stayed there for 2 nights . The room is spacious and swimming pool has dinosaur activity park which what I like about. The view from the guest room is good where u can get to see the view of Johor district.

kefalonia S Top Beaches in Greece
Mountainous Kefalonia, the largest of the Ionian group of islands, is a justifiably popular beach holiday destination. Although the island is dominated by Mount Ainos, and pine-clad hills that run down to the sea, it’s the sandy beach coves lapped by the turquoise waters that draw the most visitors. The best way to enjoy the top beaches on Kefallonia is to book your accommodation so that some of the many enchanting beaches are within easy reach.
If you arrive by ferry at the capital, Argostoli, head south for the nearby beaches of Makris Gialos and Platis Gialos, which end at the tiny islet of Tourkopodaro. Makris Gialos has an area of sun lounges ideal for soaking up the sun, but there is jetski hire if you feel like being more active. The smaller Platis Gialos is quieter and less developed than its neighbour. Both beaches have bars and you will find a choice of excellent villa accommodation at nearby Lassi.
Just a few kilometres further south, the tavernas and fine red sand bring visitors to Avithos. Naturists will find a clothing optional beach at adjoining Ligia. From the shore, you’ll see the tiny islet of Dias with its small church. It’s possible to take a short boat trip to the island and, depending on the season, the beaches could be deserted. The nearby village of Svoronata offers villa lodgings, tavernas and cafes. Backed by steep, white cliffs, the isolated beach at nearby Spartia is less developed and there is good accommodation.

Cozy Organic Farm
🚗Getting There - this farm is pretty close to Xitang ancient town.
📍Naera organics, Zhenguan Road
Attractions - 👩🌾Farm lifestyle. Glamping look with caravans as food kiosks. The setup is quiet a modern camp and farm look. Fancy or not, you could rock up and get good content.
The green house 🏡 was the highlight of my visit. I sipped chrysanthemum tea 🍵 with vanilla cake, while enjoying the warmth of the house,and bought some organic fruit jam amongst all the other organic products they have available.
💐Flower picking, with help ofcourse, was beautiful to experience, although winter is not really a season for flowers. 🥕🍓Fruits and vegetables can also be picked and a wagon is always provided. There’s a herb garden with all the herbs you could think of🪴. You can also find goats 🐐 chickens🐓 and ducks 🦆 .
🏨Hotels -The farm has a hotel right at the entrance. It is convenient for people traveling from far and would like to spend the day at the farm.
🥗🥙Food & Restaurants - There’s a small restaurant with organics on the menu. I had organic salad with fresh organic 🥖 bread.
🛍Shopping - organic food products can be bought at the greenhouse.
The entrance of the farm was nicely decorated with subtle Christmas 🎄ornaments.#christmasgiveaway #decembertravel #farmstay #urbanexplorer #tripblazer

Cosy & relaxing staycation
I booked this hotel after trying to book several others that were full on the dates I wanted. The loft attracted me and I liked the idea of going up the stairs to chill and work during the day. Though it was a little small, it was cosy, quiet and the view of the river made it a calming and peaceful environment to work or just relax. Though there were only 3 options for breakfast, they were all good and my favourite was the Nasi Lemak. I would book this hotel again. #decembertravel #unforgettableexperiences

Milano Starbucks Reserve
Milan is the third Starbucks Reserve Roastery in the world (the Seattle Roastery opened in 2014, and Shanghai in 2017) but the first where customers can move all the way around the bright green Scolari roaster (made in Italy, by the way) and watch every step of the coffee roasting process from bean to cup.
The epicenter of the new Roastery is a 22-foot, first-of-its-kind bronze roasting cask that periodically unfolds and rotates, like a blooming flower, to give customers a rare glimpse of the de-gassing phase of the coffee bean roasting process.
The entrance wall of the Roastery features a floor-to-ceiling, engraved brass story of Starbucks. Guests can view the wall as it is or, with the help of their mobile device, can experience the wall in augmented reality (AR).

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II
Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, is Italy's oldest active shopping gallery and a major landmark of Milan in Italy. Housed within a four-story double arcade in the centre of town, the Galleria is named after Victor Emmanuel II, the first king of the Kingdom of Italy.
the arcade principally contains luxury retailers selling haute couture, jewelry, books and paintings, as well as restaurants, cafés, bars, and a hotel, the Town House Galleria. The Galleria is famous for being home to some of the oldest shops and restaurants in Milan, such as Biffi Caffè.
The mosaic floor tile designs represent different cities in Italy: the wolf symbolizes Rome, the bull is a representation of Torino, the lily is indicative of Florence, and the flag stands for Milan itself. Another fun fact: the symbols in each part of the floor symbolize the numerous capitals of the kingdom of Italy.
