Probably, this part will be the most exciting one in the whole Myanmar series, because, really, how often do you in you travels fall for scam? This was my very first serious one: we naively got caught but luckily escaped in time. However, one piece at a time – I will start from the beginning. In Myanmar [...]
After Singapore, our destination point was Myanmar. To be honest, we were mostly excited about this country on our list. The reason for that was Myanmar’s inscrutability. This country was opened for tourists only about six years ago and there was a big possibility that it kept its authenticity to a higher degree than other South-East-Asian countries. In [...]
24 hours layover in Singapore Start to Singapore When we were planning our trip through South-East-Asia, we were lucky to realize that the flights to Myanmar from Borneo go over Singapore and the option of a 24-hour-layover is also available. I think we squeezed out the best of our short stay! As many flights to Asia [...]
After Penang we have flown to Borneo’s Kota Kinabalu. When we were planning our trip, it was difficult for us to decide if we want to visit the South or the North of the island. The North with its mountains and anticipated intense jungle feeling won. Mount Kinabalu (c) Cedrik Neumann […]
One of my personal highlights during this South-Asian trip was spending a couple of days in George Town on the Penang peninsula.

Finally resuming the South-East Asian series, I will proceed with Langkawi, one of three destinations in Malaysia we visited around Silvester 2017. We spent two days on this island and were very happy with our exploring achievements. Padang Lalang (c) Cedrik Neumann […]
…or some also spell it as Macao. Officially, this autonomous territory is called the Macao Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China. The great advantage of its autonomousness is that we do not need a visa to enter the country (and stay there during next 30 days). On the road in Taipa (c) Cedrik Neumann [...]
About Hong Kong When I was preparing for this post, I suspected that Hong Kong has an outstanding position in the world economics. Although I didn’t think that this position is so high: Hong Kong possesses the highest Financial Development Index score and in 2016 has crowned the World Competitiveness Yearbook leaving Switzerland is on the 2nd place, Germany on [...]
It is definitely time to wrap up the Philippines series and to start writing about our latest big trip. Nevertheless, there are some P.S. things I would like to tell those who thinks of visiting this beautifully diverse country. El Nido […]
