Dubai is the ultimate Middle-East fairy tale with a futuristic twist. It is so fascinating to see that in fact, the sky really is the limit for human capabilities. Literally. I've already been twice in Dubai, both time spending around 24 hours between flights. To me, Dubai is not a destination itself (feel free to prove me wrong on the comments bellow). With all existing flight connections between Europe and Asia, it is indeed a hub. But a hub that deserves to be explored. As

Беше много приятно да прекарам един ден в Сихануквил и да се слея с местните, докато се наслаждават на живота, но нашата същинска плажна ваканция щеше да започне след едно сравнително кратко пътуване с лодка. Островът Ко Ронг е магическо и тихо място, с искрящо бял пясък и кристално чиста морска вода. Лодката ни до там заминаваше от Кей 65 в Сихануквил. Предишната вечер се уговорихме с един тук-тукаджия да ни вземе от хотела и да ни закара до там. Увери ни, че знае къде се на

Отне ни около час да се доберем до летището, след кратката, но изключително приятна разходка в центъра на Пном Пен. Всъщност, разстоянието от столицата до Сихануквил не е толкова голямо, но докато планирах пътуването прочетох, че “магистралата” помежду им е най-опасната в цялата страна. И тъй като става въпрос за Азия, където трафикът по принцип е доста… да го наречем шантав, избрахме по-сигурната опция за придвижване - по въздух. Когато купувах самолетните билети не ми стана

It was definitely nice spending a day in Sihanoukville and blending with the locals as they enjoy life at its fullest, but our real beach vacation was waiting for us one boat trip away. We were going to Koh Rong island - a magical, quite place with white sand and crystal clear sea water. The transfer boat would leave at Port 65 in Sihanoukville. The night before we've arranged a tuk-tuk driver to pick us up at the hotel and to take us there. He guaranteed he knows the port.

After the quick, but very nice walk in Phnom Penh city centre and spending almost an hour to reach the airport to catch our flight to Sihanoukville, we arrived to backpackers' paradise. Actually, it is not that far away from the capital, but when planning the trip I read that the "highway" between both cities is the most dangerous one in the entire country. And as it is Asia, and traffic there is crazy, we've chosen the safest option to get there - by plane. When buying the t

After seeing the messy and chaotic part of Thailand, it was time to enjoy the well-organized resortish part of it. At least this is what we thought. Ok, I admit that we haven't spent much time researching what we will really find on our trip to Phuket. What we were expecting was some kind of a mix between paradise lonely beaches, luxury resorts, british-kind of organisation on the streets (no idea why!) and high class nightlife. What we actually found was not so different fro

След като видяхме хаотичния Тайланд, беше време да се насладим и на подредения му, курортен живот. Или поне така си мислехме. Истината е, че тръгнахме за това пътуване не особено подготвени какво точно ни очаква в Пукет. Та, бяхме настроени за някакъв явно нереален микс от приказни, празни плажове, луксозни хотелски комплекси, прецизна организация и чистота по улиците (нямам идея защо!) и висококласен нощен живот. Всъщност, това което ни посрещна тук не бе много по-различно о

Thailand has always been a dream trip for me, especially Phuket. I guess we've all visioned ourself at the paradise white sand beaches from "The Beach". But before getting to the relaxing part of the vacation, we've decided that getting to know the culture of the country is always a good ideia. And what better place to do that, than Thailand's capital - Bangkok. After having a bit of a disappointment arriving at the hotel due to some pretty noisy neighbours from the construct

Тайланд ми бе мечта от години. Особено Пукет. Предполагам всяка от нас, поне веднъж в живота си, поне за миг си е се представяла на приказните, бели плажове от “Плажът”. Но преди да се отдадем на релакс и почивка, решихме да се гмурнем в неспиращия живот на Банкок. След дълъг, нощен полет от Дубай, леко разочарование при пристигането в хотела, благодарение на доста шумни съседи от съседния строеж и бързо презареждане на батериите край басейна, бяхме готови за столичния нощен

After having a great time in Macau we flew to Philippines, On arrival at Virac Airport we took a tricicle for around 30 minutes trip to a small port to take a boat to Caramoan. The trip by boat took around 20 minutes to reach the Tugawe Cove Resort. Approaching the bay of the resort we were not able to see that there was actually something but natural forest. Just a few meters from the sand we got to see the roofs of the bungalows. Amazing! There was a lagoon with sweet water

So, after we enjoyed the cold and rainy weather in Hong Kong we took a ferry to Macau. Suprisingly (for us at least) the ferries were at every 15 minutes and the trip takes around an hour (and there is no need to take a pill for sea sickness). Macau consists of peninsula of Macau plus Taipa and Coloane islands. Nowadays these two islands are already one same island. This is the explanation of the answer a person from Macau gave us last year on the International Tourism Fair,

One more vacation is over but the most important part of it is the memories we create, right? So, we flew from Lisbon to Hong Kong (I didn't want my very first "touch" to East Asia to be a complete chock!) so that's how we chose the first destionation of the trip. And I liked it! It is a very busy, but also very well organized city - a mark that remained from the English times, I guess. But as it is still Asia and everywhere you go you feel that scent of noodles and fried foo
