One of the best things about our trip to Hanoi was our hotel. We stayed at the Hotel de l’Opera. While it’s a bit of a given that we would love it since we got to stay at the Grand Suite with the Opera House View, their standard rooms are just as elegant and cozy. [...] Read More

Vietnam has so much to offer and the country has been doing a lot of work in successfully promoting the different tourist destinations.

With that in mind, we decided to book at Vincci Bonjardim 4* because it’s walking distance to almost all of the tourist areas. For example, just meters away [...] Read More

Japanese cuisine is becoming even more popular so it’s highly likely that you will find at least one Japanese restaurant anywhere you are in the world. In Barcelona, the only place for us is AH-UN. We never fail to book at least one meal here usually in the middle or towards the latter part of [...] Read More
