    Saigon – 3 Oaks Hotel

    Going back to Vietnam we knew right away we will want to stay a bit longer this time so we chose Ho Chi Minh City because it's easy to find an agency there to extend our visa. We decided to stay there for a week and move on to another city after our visas are done. We didn't do any…

    New Year in Kuala Lumpur

    It was the beginning of December when we had to leave Sri Lanka and finding a fairly cheap flight and accommodation was a bit difficult due to incoming Christmas and New Year.

When in 2018 Anak Krakatau collapsed I thought it's the great opportunity to see the crater since it was on sea level…

    Spending summary in Jakarta

    Like I mentioned in my previous post, our priority in Jakarta was a trip to Anak Krakatoa. We knew it's not a cheap thing and we were prepared for it. You should keep that in mind when planning a trip there. Additionally, Mangrove Park was in our opinion quite expensive too. The last thing to keep in mind is that…

    3-month spending in Malaysia

    This time in Malaysia we cooked more meals at home but our groceries were done mostly in big shopping malls so definitely not the cheapest ones. Although, we didn’t really have much choice since all the places we stayed in were far from any local markets. Similarly, any restaurants that we visited from time to time weren’t the cheapest ones…
