Kyoto is a historical city that has many UNESCO Heritage Sites, one of which is Nijo Castle. This site took me back centuries ago during Japan's feudal epoch.

I decided to stay in Malaysia for around a week before I headed to Southern Thailand to explore some of the islands. I was looking at different destinations but decided to go to Ipoh, Perak. I knew little about Ipoh but I decided to wing it anyway. Upon further research when I arrived at my hostel, I found out that I could visit an abandoned (yet restored and well-preserved) castle.
