Although it is being marketed as a hip and happening destination for the younger crowd, there’s one good reason why Sentosa is also a good place for seniors traveling in Singapore: you can get there and around with minimal walking.
We went to Sentosa via the Sentosa Express from Vivo City (cost: S$3 per adult, includes […]
Sometimes, it takes visitors to rouse you from your day-to-day activities and see more of interesting spots in your own locality. That’s what I’ve been up to the last several days (and the primary reason why it’s been slow going here at Let’s Visit Asia), playing tour guide to my mother and aunt who are […]
It turned out that my mother-in-law and her sister, who wanted to spend a week in Beijing, weren’t able to secure the necessary tourist visa to enter China as the country tightens security in reference to the Olympics. What a bummer! Oh well, they’re heading to Ho Chi Minh City instead.
That’s one great thing being […]
Yowza, budget airline Tiger Airways is now charging extra fees for checked in luggages!
I’ve been watching similar developments in US-based airlines the last several weeks and was hoping the trend wouldn’t reach this part of the sky. Ugh, wishful thinking. Tiger has followed the lead of Air Asia on charging fees for checked in […]

The next time I spend a holiday in the vicinity of these resorts in Thailand, I’d definitely would like to try the X2 Resorts, just to satisfy my curiosity. No, not to check out the resort facilities and amenities, but purely because I’m intrigued by the name: X2 (read as “cross to”).
There’s an X2 in […]
Thanks to upgrades put into place, you can now enjoy special web fares when you book international and domestic airfares online from the Philippine Airlines website.
I played around with it for a while, and though the process seems to be quite user-friendly, the fares for international destinations within Southeast Asia do not seem to be […]
Get a taste of luxury, Venice-style at the just-opened Venetian Macao Resort Hotel. Twice the size of its sister property in Las Vegas, this mega-hotel is “large enough to hold ninety Boeing 747 jumbo jets”.
3,000 suites. 350 stores. 20 restaurants. Gondola rides and a baroque themed mall. Catch the grand opening which will be graced […]
