Aside from NAIA and Narita, Haneda were the only major airports that I’ve been so far. And I am not going to lie to you; I love airplanes, and I just find it really amazing how these things could fly.

Since I don’t have a point of comparison, I could be exaggerating my feelings since this is my first time to be in such a breathtaking conservatory museum of Natural History. Just at the lobby, you will find a […]

As of our visit last November of 2015, the castle was undergoing restoration. It was wrapped with scaffolding and what appeared to be a huge mosquito “net” for everyone’s safety.
