SINGAPORE – SINGAPORE
8/10/25 A wonderful two weeks in Japan came to an end as I boarded a flight at Haneda airport bound for Singapore. I haven’t been to Singapore in a good few years (possibly a decade!), and I was curious to see how the city had changed on – an 8 hour daytime layover provided the…

KYOTO – JAPAN
3/10/25 – 5/10/25 Following our day out in Hiroshima, we took a shinkansen up towards Japan’s cultural capital, Kyoto – whipping past little towns and Japanese countryside at 300kph is a real experience! We checked into our accommodation for the night (a huge apartment!), before heading out to get our first taste of Kyoto. The…

MATSUYAMA – JAPAN
29/9/25 – 2/10/25 After an interesting few days in Tokyo and Nikko, we took a short flight to the capital of Ehime Prefecture on Shikoku Island.

I flew across with Thai Airways, and despite a slight delay cutting into my already-minimal…

AGRA – INDIA
21/3/24 After realising that the Taj Mahal shuts its doors every Friday to allow for Muslim prayers, I was left with little choice but to travel to Agra a mere 7 hours after arriving in Delhi. Departing from Delhi’s Hazrat Nizamuddin station, the Gatimaan Express pulled away at 8:10, and arrived in Agra at 9:40…

NEW DELHI – INDIA
20/3/24 – 24/3/24 After a very enjoyable overnight stop in KL, I was off to the airport again – this time for my flight up to New Delhi. I’d been warned beforehand about the chaos of Delhi, but even that left me unprepared as I headed out of the Arrivals hall at Indira Gandhi airport…
