Palawan is one of the best islands to visit in the world according to Conde Nast Traveler. There are many reasons this is so, I've been to the island a handful of times already and am planning to return.
I was eager to explore another side of Japan, since I was arriving from Nagoya, I decided to head to Takayama. I didn't have much of a plan of things to do other than making it a stop to get to Shirakawago, so I kept an open mind and just decide what to do when I got there.
It was towards the end of my trip in China and I was on again and off again about which place to visit. I was down to two choices, Dongchuan or the Stone Forest, after thinking about it before returning to Kunming from Dali, I made my choice.
It was rainy and cloudy during the first few days of my trip around central Japan. I was already in Matsumoto and the weather was still bad, but after the first day, the skies cleared and I was able to visit Kamikochi.
During my return trip to Singapore, I was looking for a comfortable place to stay that has easy access to the train station, restaurants and everything I needed.
