Welcome to the abode of all my travels, food adventures, fascination for flowy dresses and my passion for art and photography!
Long layover in Taipei
We had a very long layover in Taiwan before going home. With the time that we had, we could have gone to 2 to 3 places but with the traffic and all the arrangements that we had to do in…
Osaka Castle
Osaka Castle is a famous landmark, a popular sightseeing spot, and the symbol of Osaka. It was a beautiful short walk from the train station. I’m glad we went during fall when all the trees were beautifully colored to compliment…
Osaka’s new world – Shinsekai

KYOTO: Arashiyama Bamboo Grove
Arashiyama is a touristy district in the western outskirts of Kyoto. Going there, it takes about an hour of train ride from Osaka. Just take the JR train to Saga-Arashiyama station or take the Hankyu Railway to Arashiyama Hankyu Station.…
