During my trip to Hong Kong, one of the main reasons I chose to stay at Mandarin Oriental was the chance to enjoy their English afternoon tea at a relaxed pace. When I saw the complete set of tea utensils, the three-tiered dessert platter, and the beautifully embroidered tablecloth, it felt like a special ceremony.
On a rainy afternoon in Macao, I decided to visit the famous Ruins of St. Paul's and enjoy the view. While standing in front of the remaining facade of St. Paul's Church, I couldn't help but admire the beauty of those ancient walls. However, strangely, my thoughts kept wandering back to the vibrant casinos.
Who said that first-time casino players would have beginner's luck? In less than 15 minutes, I had lost all of my chips. Finally facing reality, I realized that I didn't have any good luck, and it's better to stay grounded.
The "House of Dancing Water"（水舞間）at City of Dreams（新濠天地）is an absolute must-see performance with amazing stunts when visiting Macao!
Five years ago, when I first came here, I really liked the misty atmosphere of Noboribetsu. Today, I finally had the chance to revisit this place. Noboribetsu is special to me because it's where I got to know my grandmother better.
When you visit Abashiri in Hokkaido, one thing you absolutely shouldn't miss is the Abashiri drift ice cruises!
Before Tadao Ando, who would have thought of using the interplay of space and depth to perfectly blend the solid, rigid cross with the surrounding natural?
On that day, my friend took me to the largest beer garden in Bavaria: Königlicher Hirschgarten. We arrived around 4 p.m., and since it was still before the end of the workday, the place appeared quite empty. However, I heard that on weekday evenings and holidays, it can get incredibly crowded.
During this European journey, visiting palaces became one of the highlights of the entire trip. The two palaces that left the deepest impression on me were located in Vienna and Munich. Vienna's palace, nestled in the hills, and Munich's palace by the water, each had its unique charm. However, compared to the Vienna Palace, Munich's Schloss Nymphenburg captivated me even more.
This is not a suitable place for a day trip. I left with many regrets because there was so much more to explore!
