The Care-free Caribbeans

I've heard of the frivolous lifestyle of the Carribic nations but never had I expected how chill these people were until I went over. Crossing the pond via Heathrow, I arrived in Nassau. To my shock, none of the currency exchange desks were open! A word to the wise for those going over to the Bahamas- there are no currency exchange counters at the airport, bring your own dollars! I did sort that issue with the kind help of some angels and were able to proceed with my birthday vacay!
Such a beautiful feeling, crossing the pond!

Bustling in Bangkok

Having travelled all over the world, I'm embarrassed to admit that I have not had the chance to visit my own neighbour, Thailand until I was 33. Come International Muay Thai Day in Bangkok, I decided to catch the "Muay Thai Live: The Legend Live" show at the Asiatique Bangkok arena in early 2019. I was left speechless at how these incredibly fit fighters managed to execute every move without fail. Lots of somersaults, fight simulation and high jumps were incorporated in the theatrics of the performance. No one was allowed to film inside the auditorium so I am not able to give you a preview on what the show was all about. Basically it is like a musical, except instead of singing and dancing, the performers fight each other. I did stick around for the actual muay thai matches after the show. The competitors were mostly teenagers, defending their provinces. Staying in Lumpinee, I got around with the help of Grab motorbikes- yep, they have Grab (e-hailing service in Southeast...

Next Stop : Nürnberg!

Burger King in Nuremberg! Day Three of Road Trip: We fetched our would-be host from München to our next pitstop ---Nuremberg. I could see the synonymous word for this town originating from its dark history. The Nazi trials, museums and historical artifacts remains attached to this amazing castle-filled city. We headed to the stadium where former Nazi parades in its glory days took place. I even had the chance to stand at the same podium which Adolf used as his speech platform to embed his nasty propaganda to his audience. (goosebumps all over!) We then made our way to a coliseum-looking building which was an unfinished Hitler-project. The ruins remained in good condition but to our unfortunate timing, the Document museum was shut under renovation period. We then set foot on the Burger King which was built at an important city council building during the times of the American intervention (I call it intervention coz ppl here were obviously smoking something they shouldn't, wha...
