Day 54 – Vietnamese Hair Shampoo in Ninh Binh

I was having a bad hair day today, so having passed many massage places mentioning hair shampoo I thought I’d give the experience a whirl. Turned out to be far more than just a shampoo and blow dry!

Is there nothing more quintessential than eating Peking Duck in Beijing, or more precisely (but outdated) eating Peking Duck in Peking? (If you’re wondering, Peking was the capital of China until the capital was renamed in 1954, with mainstream Western media fully adopting the new name in the 1990’s.) This dish is synonymous with the...

So, we finally made it to Macau. That makes it sound like it was epic to make it to another country in our trip, but it was actually super easy. Getting there was a breeze using the TurboJet ferry, and Wendy has written about this here, Ferry HK to Macau. As per normal we chose...

Early start today in order to make the high speed train departing at 9:50am. Believe it or not the alarm had to be set for 6am as we knew the short car ride to the station would be in peak morning Beijing traffic and we had to be at the station an hour before departure....
