A Walk Through Chinatown and Bangkok at Night
k to Spain. I wandered out of the station, and headed toward the nearby Chinatown.
For 91 Days we live in a random place around the world, giving ourselves time to really understand the culture, history, cuisine, and people. We never quite become locals, but we're definitely more than tourists.
When we're not on the road, we call Valencia, Spain home. Check out the posts from Valencia below, or use the menu to discover the other places we've visited.
Bangkok Train Station – Hua Lamphong Station
Taking pictures at the Bangkok train station - After a very short visit to Chiang Mai, I found myself back in Bangkok. I arrived in the morning, and my flight back home wasn't until midnight, so I had some time to kill. Of course, I didn't mind at all -- a full day to snap some photos in one of the world's craziest cities sounded just fine.
Loy Krathong In Chiang Mai – Thailand
It was already early evening, when I arrived in Chiang Mai, so I didn't want to waste any time. After dropping my bags off at the hotel, I ran out into the city center, and found the streets packed with amazing floats that were designed to look like temples or dragons.
Bangkok – First Visit To Thailand
Bangkok is a massive city. That's obviously well-known, but I hadn't realized its scale until actually arriving. Unfortunately, I didn't have tons of time to explore, as this was more of a business trip.
The 2021 October Fallas of Alzira
Fallas of Alzira - Our plan had been to take the train in the morning, see a few figures and the mascletá at 14h, then grab lunch and return home.
A Mini-Workation for Seven Days in Zakynthos, Greece
If you're a long time follower of our travel blog, you know that we often visit to Greece, in order to maintain our frequent traveler status with Aegean Air. We try to make it an annual thing, but of course the Coronavirus had kept us away for two years ... so we've been desperately looking forward to making a return.
Going Up In Smoke – Fallas 2021 Coming to an End
Fallas 2021 came to an end on Sunday, September 5th -- the strangest Fallas which we and many others had ever experienced. Set in the autumn instead of the spring, devoid of mascletàs at the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, and marked by falleras wearing masks.
Random Fallas Figures of 2021
On the last few days of Fallas, once all the figures have been erected, you got roughly 4 days to see as many figures as possible. As mentioned before there are roughly 800 of them (split up half in a kids figures and the main figures) and it's impossible to see them all. Of course we had to wonder if someone attempted to see them all.
Too Precious To Burn! Our Favorite Fallas Figures of 2021
If this is the first time you're hearing about Fallas, and the first time you're seeing photos of the amazing figures which are constructed around the city, you're probably not going to believe (too precious to burn) that they're all burnt to the ground.
La Ofrendà of 2021: Masks and No Spectators
If a Valencian from 2018 had been able to glance three years into the future, they wouldn't understand what's happening. Why is Fallas being held in September?
