Singapore trip

Orchard road got its name from the nutmeg, pepper and fruit orchards or the plantations that the road led to in the mid-1800s, that's the history of the name for the road. And this magnificent piece of sculpture titled "Nutmeg Grove" is just displayed on the right spot!

Touring Vientiane [Laos PDR holiday]

Viantiane is the capital and largest city of Laos, situated on the Mekong river near the border with Thailand. Our hotel was situated by the riverside with fantastic view of Thailand (literally across the street -that if you walk and swim the Mekong river). Vientiane became the capital in 1563 due to fears of a Burmese invasion. During French rule, Vientiane was the administrative capital and, due to economic growth in recent times, it has now become the economic center of Laos.

Songkran festival [Laos PDR holiday, Luang Prabang]

dress code: colorful, flowers, and a touch of traditional

The Water Festival is the New Year's celebrations that take place in Southeast Asian countries such as Burma, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand as well as Yunnan, China. It is called the 'Water Festival' by Westerners because people splash / pour water at one another as part of the cleansing ritual to welcome the New Year. Traditionally people gently sprinkled water on one another as a sign of respect, but as the New Year falls during the hottest month in South East Asia, many people end up dousing strangers and passersby in vehicles in boisterous celebration. The act of pouring water is also a show of blessings and good wishes. It is believed that on this Water Festival, everything old must be thrown away, or it will bring the owner bad luck.
