Hoi An Ancient Town

The first time I visited Vietnam I researched just about every hotel trying to figure out where to stay in Hoi An. It was exhausting!

There are no direct flights to Hoi An and the closest airport is in Da Nang (Danang).

There are a number of options and choosing which one is right for you will depend on your time, patience and budget.

China Airlines Review: CI52 Economy From Sydney To Taipei (SYD-TPE)

China Airlines Coming In To Land

My China Airlines review will reveal exactly what it’s like to fly economy class from Sydney to Taipei on flight CI52. It’s worth noting that despite the name, China Airlines does not actually originate from mainland China, but rather from the little island of Taiwan. I wasn’t expecting much from my China Airlines economy flight given the tiny amount I paid for my ticket, but I was pleasantly surprised at every turn and you just might be as well …

Taiwan SIM Card: Buying & Using A Tourist SIM Card In Taipei

Taipei Taoyuan Airport at Sunset

The Taiwan SIM card that I picked up at Taipei airport was one of the savviest purchases of my trip. I used my Far EasTone SIM card in Taipei for four days without a hitch. It was simple, cheap as chips and super convenient. If your current Telco charges exorbitant roaming fees like mine does, you definitely need to get your hands on a tourist SIM card in Taiwan.

7 Outstanding Nusa Lembongan Restaurants You Absolutely Must Try

Nusa Lembongan Restaurants - Entrance to The Deck Restaurant Nusa Lembongan

There are 165 Nusa Lembongan restaurants according to Trip Advisor. Given Nusa Lembongan is only about 8 square kilometres, that’s just over 20 restaurants per square kilometre. Sadly our three days on the island didn’t allow us to sample as many restaurants in Nusa Lembongan as we would have liked and choosing was quite a challenge. The Hubs and I love our food and life is too short to waste on a bad meal so we did as much research as we could before our arrival. As with any best laid plans, not everything goes to script, but we had more hits than misses. If you are looking for the best restaurants in Nusa Lembongan read on for all the details …
