Travel guide for Seoul
K-pop, fashion, international Netflix shows and stone bowl soups may come to mind when someone mentions “Seoul”. There’s that and so much more. South Korea’s capital city bursts with things to do, from breakfast in the trendy neighbourhood of Hongdae, to shopping in the streets of Myeongdong, to drinking in the international pubs of Itaewon.

Perhaps the first city that comes to mind when thinking about south-east Asia, the capital of Thailand has a smorgasboard of food experiences. The wok-tossed Pad Thai from a hawker stall tastes just as delightful as a sumptuous meal at one of Bangkok’s many five-star hotels. The Mandarin Oriental houses restaurants overseeing the glittering Chao Phraya River.
Travel guide for Sapporo
The largest city in Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido is where miso ramen comes from! Slurp down bowls of full-bodied soup in Susukino, and enjoy fresh seafood from Nijo Market. The downtown area around Odori is super pleasant for a stroll – make sure you take a photo of the iconic Sapporo TV Tower.
