The problem is, I’ll be arriving at Singapore Changi at 8:00am, but the Rain Vortex doesn’t t…

Something about the pre-smartphone age has such an authentic feel about it and I imagine traveling would’ve felt a world apart when compared to today. Anyhow, I was hoping to gain some insi…

Is it a bad idea to go back to Japan again if I’ve only been to one other country? I (F19) just got back from Japan and I LOVED it. I already want to go back.
