16 March 2026 You won’t believe where I went in my third day in Korea. Back to Seongsu! Even after spending most of the previous day there, I hadn’t finished exploring. I liked the neighbourhood so much that returning for another round was an easy decision. STREET SNACK AT EOMUK NARA First, breakfast at Eomuk Nara, a snack stall at Seongsu Station. There were so many people gathered around eating that I had to try it too! I ordered tteokbokki and skewered fish cakes, which ma

07 September 2026 LAST DAY IN CHONGQING Since it was my last day in Chongqing, we were determined to make the most of it. We started with a cave descent at Tianyan Cave, then spent the rest of the day fitting in photos, food, café breaks and a few of Chongqing’s famous sights. With Hongyadong’s evening lights on our list, we had plenty of time to explore before nightfall, and somehow filled every bit of it!
