After busking in the conventional side of Siem Reap, we ventured into the side of it that not many people see - the dark and tragic side of Cambodia. In 1975, the Khmer Rouge Regime took over the entire country, killing over 2 million people and destroying the homes of many others. Up to this [...]
The sun was just rising when we arrived in the dusty town of Siem Reap. It was odd how a mud road from the airport, opened up to a spacious main boulevard, lined with street lamps, and grand hotels. Right at the end of the road, our van snaked right into a …

Although many budget airlines cut cost by doing away with inflight food(non-existent) and having tighter seat spaces, it hasn’t stopped travellers from taking them. These [...]
Ryanair has recently announced their plans to implement coin-operated in-flight toilets, to supposedly, reduce the number of passengers going to the toilets, disturbing fellow passengers. Many are doubting Ryanair’s decision and render this as just another of their marketing gimmicks. Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary said he has approached the US …

A recent trip to Melbourne made me fall in love with it all over again. Lately I’ve been rediscovering some old places I’d been, and walking down memory lane has been nothing like I’d imagined. It’s like falling in love with a lover all over again. It’s reminiscent yet more passionate than before. I could [...]
