Hostel Recommendation, Osaka: "The Stay Osaka"

Hanoi has my heart — and my appetite 🍜
 Pho for breakfast, bun cha for lunch, egg coffee always ☕️ a city of organized chaos that you won’t regret to immerse into!
 Day trips to surrounding areas, including limestone dreams in Ninh Binh or Halong Bay are optional, but recommended. Enjoy!   #HanoiDiaries #EatYourWayHanoi #VietnamVibes #HanoiItinerary #WanderAsia

🌳🎋Arashiyama Bamboo Forest is stated as one of the major tourist attractions when visiting Kyoto. Located north of the city, at the foot of “storm mountains”, the city is a famous tourist magnet, flooded with visitors of all ages.

⁉️Is it worth a visit?
🛑To me personally it’s not a must-see. Why? Because it is “just another forest with bamboo”. Yes, the path you walk along is beautiful but also quite short and nothing special if you’ve seen bamboo before.
Since I have seen and walked through several bamboo areas and gardens before, eg in Hawaii, Arashiyama was “nice to see” but certainly not a “must-see” place.

Considering the time you spend getting to- and back from Arashiyama, also taking into consideration how much time you are planing on staying in kyoto, I’d recommend to focus on other sightseeing attractions first to not lose too much time.

If you go 👇

🔹If you would like to enjoy a peaceful and less hectic experience, I recommend to visit Arashiyama very early in the morning around 6- 8am, as past these times the number of visitors sequentially increases to a point where you cannot even walk anymore through the forests.

🔹The park is open 24/7 and admission is free.

🔹Once walking downhill, cross the “Togetsukyo Bridge”, which is one of Arashiyama’s most known landmarks. Stroll through several souvenir shops and restaurants. You can also rent a bike or boat on a sunny day 🛶

🔹Most temples in the surrounding areas require entrance fees; the same applies for monkey park, if you want to stop by.
In case you are planning on visiting the famous “moss temple”, you are required to make a reservation in advance 1 day up to two weeks.

Let me know in the comments whether you consider(ed) Arashiyama worth visiting 👊🏽

“Manboyaki” is layered okonomiyaki that comes with udon, soba or Chinese noodles, pork, squid, small intestines of beef. It is typically topped with spring onions, an egg (you can choose whether you’d like it raw, medium or well cooked), takuan (pickled radish) and your choice of sauce (sweet, sweet and spicy, very spicy).

📍Yamamoto Manbo claims being the birthplace of Manboyaki since 1948 and they do not disappoint!

The crunchy texture and flavourful spices make this dish a true taste experience you don’t want to miss out when visiting Kyoto! Give this one a try and let me know your thoughts. I absolutely loved it!

🥊Honour Muay Thai: 2-Week training camp in Ao Nang, Krabi

In September this year I have made a long desired wish come true by trying out the Marshall arts of Muay Thai. And what better place to pick is there to experience an authentic training camp than Thailand?

⛺️ Honour Muay Thai is a camp located in Ao Nang, Krabi with a great facility for students to practice, learn and jointly grow their skills from beginners to professionals. All fitness levels are welcome and taken care of individually, with passion, dedication, lots of sweat and a pinch of fun and laughter.

💪🏻You start your mornings at 07:30am with a 3- 5km run or rope skipping prior to training for 1,5 hours individually (shadow boxing, bag work), with trainers (patch work, technique) and of course with sparring partners (sparring, clinching, boxing, conditioning). Each training is ended with 100 sit-ups & 100 push-ups. The afternoon session starts at 03:30pm and follows a similar pattern.

🏋️‍♀️ Sounds tough? It was. But more importantly it was fun, enriching and one of the best times of my life! Not only was I able to meet plenty of heart-warming people in the camp, also the team of trainers embraced my beginner level from day 1 onwards, showing empathy, patience and taking their time for me to being pushed out of my way to perform better day by day.

I was able to learn and set the basic techniques, such as foot work, punches, elbows and kicks. Even if there’s still a long way to go to enter the ring at some point, I am super proud of my progress and will continue this exciting journey in the months to follow.

If you ever think about trying Muay Thai yourself, I highly recommend the “Honour Muay Thai” training camp as a place to go! I promise you, you will not want to leave again, directly feeling home and being connected to the great people and community you will find on-site.

An everlasting unforgettable memory I truly treasure 🙏

🏮Sky lanterns (“Kong-Ming-Lanterns”), often used in celebrations and festivals, are beautiful symbols of hope and dreams. When you release a sky lantern, it is customary to make a wish, letting it soar into the sky to signify sending your hopes and dreams to the heavens.

🖍️Each color of the lantern can carry a specific meaning, adding an extra layer of symbolism.

For instance, red may symbolize safety and good health, white can represent a promising future, and blue might signify success for your future career path. By choosing a particular color, individuals can align their wishes with the corresponding symbolic meaning, creating a more personalized and meaningful experience.

Shanghai as a futuristic, annually growing metropolis has more to offer than one might think! Here are some must- do’s and sees I highly recommend when visiting:

📍Wander along the beautiful scenery of “the Bund”, enjoying breathtaking skyline views of Pudong. Jump into one of the nightly “Huangpu River Cruises” for an additional water sight of the illuminated buildings at night.

📍Go on top of the landmark of Shanghai, the “Oriental Pearl Tower” to visit the observatory desk from which you have a birdseye view on Shanghai’s skyline. Enjoy a cocktail at the bar and take “the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel” as a return ticket to Pungxi.

📍Plan some time for visiting some of the well-preserved temple complexes, such as “Longhua Temple”, “Jadebuddha Temple” and “Jing a Temple”. Discover some of the multiple-existing gods and their guardians, observe praying rituals and enjoy local temple foods if you have time.

📍Plan a day trip to one of the four water villages being situated in rural, peaceful areas, giving a different perspective to the crowded and accelerated city life, such as “Zhujiajiao” and “Suzhou”. Hop on a sampan boat and/or bike rickshaw and wander the streets for street foods and souvenir shops.

📍Deep-dive into cultural heritage, history and ancient architecture by visiting traditional Chinese garden complexes, museums and creative parks, such as “M50 Creative Park”, “Jing’an Sculpture Park”. Explore the former “French Concession” and the “Memorial Hall of the Site of First National Congress Community Party of China”.

📍Immerse into countless shopping opportunities by visiting some malls and shopping miles, such as “Tianzifang”, “Xintiandi” (car- free zone) and “Yuyuan Garden”. Taste your way through several local dishes, teas and snacks, have a beer in one of the pubs and enjoy heavenly meals in one of the mall food courts to be with the locals.

📍Book, discover and try the convenient transportation infrastructure; whether this means taking the metro, a high-speed train, the maglav to get from one place to another without being stuck in traffic.

Traveling Hong Kong 🇭🇰 with my mum, a person who has never been to Asia before, can be quite an adventure. Especially when never having had the chance to experience the burning heat of summer, taste of durian, beef noodle soup or crowded subway stations with thousands of people. In summary she did very well, couldn’t be more proud of her. And travels together anyhow are the best duo-experience you can wish for 🫶 Go, Mum! 🙌🏽

The Muslim Quarter, also known as Huimin Jie, is the most famous snack- and souvenir street you will find in Xi’an, shaanxi province.

Important to mention is that we are not talking about one or two streets, rather several blocks of interconnected roads offering a variety of street foods to share, or even better, eat your way solo through. You will also find several mosques to discover and explore along the way.

When choosing food, you will most likely be overwhelmed by the choices to pick from but that’s okay- choose whatever looks most appealing to you! The amount of available delicacies to try would probably take you over one month. Usually, the longest lines are the best- or most local foods you would want to go for. There are also several smaller restaurants to sit in if you do not want to eat while walking. And in case you are not sure what to get in the end, just ask a local in one the restaurants to help you out; people are super welcoming and helpful. I’m sure you’ll find amazing new and differing tasty dishes to fall in love with.

Go best at night to enjoy the illuminated sign boards and smell in the variety of freshly prepared dishes.

Follow your nose and enjoy!😉

I need to confess that visiting <<Art District 798<< has been one of the coolest daytime’s explorations in Beijing. If you love arts as much as I do, this place is far beyond disappointment!

Art district 798 is located northwest of Beijing in a disused military factory from the 1950s. Former warehouses, halls and factories now serve a variety of artists who express their creativity through boutiques, cafes, galleries, photographs, paintings and much more.
The winding streets are lined with various, sometimes bizarre, sculptures and graffiti.

Grab a coffee and explore the complex from below and from above; many stairs run around the district to give you a bird’s eye view. Here you can also combine the view with a drink in a rooftop bar. Plan half a day of exploration, it’s worth it!

⁉️Did you know that a mausoleum dedicated to Ghengis Khan exists in the south west of Inner Mongolia to worship, honor and commemorate the very first khan of the Mongol Empire? At least I wasn’t. Below some facts and learnings I brought along:

💡Ghengis Khan‘s original name was >>Temüdschin<<

💡He founded the Mongol Empire by consolidating nomadic tribes into unification

💡He is considered as brave, powerful warrior and one of the most famous conquerers in history

💡His actual body and tomb have never been found until this day (hence the mausoleum mainly serves as a place of commemoration)

Surrounded by grassland, the mausoleum gives deep insights into the history of Ghengis Khan- from childhood to rise of power until death- whilst displaying ancient relics and replicas. It is a place of reverence and silence, of awe and power.

If you do have a chance to see this place, I highly recommend to do so!
