Our day 1 adventure continues with another short train ride. This time to Higashiyama Station in Eastern Kyoto. From the station, our initial plan was to walk all the way to Kiyomizudera Temple and stop at many of attractions along the way. This is part 3 of my Kyoto/Osaka Trip…
The Haruka airport train took us straight to Kyoto Station. The 75 minutes train ride was supposed to be the time for us to revise our pre-determined travel plans for day 1 but we were on holiday mood so we just enjoyed the view throughout the journey (ok, actually I…

My first time in Japan. Needless to say, it was beautiful, just like what I had imagined all this while. We only had the chance to visit Osaka and Kyoto over a short period of 5 days but it was enough to make us wanting to come back and visit…

Alhamdulillah, I was fortunate to have the chance to witness the beautiful sight of the Boeing 787…
Alhamdulillah, our umrah trip last May went on smoothly as planned. It was a memorable 14 days in Makkah and Madinah with most of the time spent in the holy mosques performing umrah and prayers. It’ amazing how a trip this hectic can be so satisfying and peaceful and I…

While a career of a flight attendant might be seen as a…
“A breath of fresh air for the local airline industry. Once every few years it is nice to have a new player in the scene”. That is exactly how I responded when a friend asked me my opinion about the new kid on the block - Malindo Air. I personally…
All good things must come to an end. The highlight of our #NepalAkuDatang is of course the 3-day trekking across Nayapul-Ghandruk-Pothana which we successfully completed within the estimated time. Click here if you have missed out on my earlier stories on the trekking adventure. It was not easy to say…
