Exploring Vietnam’s DMZ from Dong Hoi to Hue

While travelling from Dong Hoi to Hue, I explored the Vinh Moc Tunnels and Hien Luong Bridge, two symbolic relics of Vietnam’s former DMZ.

I took the Reunification Express as a sleeper train from Hanoi to Dong Hoi, and again as a normal train from Hue to Da Nang two days later.

MD-82 Cafe, an cool airplane-themed cafe in Bangkok, is one of the few places in the world you can legally enjoy a 420 drink.

Located among the sea of tower mansions and sparkling new development sits Harumi Bridge, a rusted old relic of bygone days.

(Almost) every year, the U.S. military’s Yokota Air Base in Tokyo opens its gates to visitors in celebration of Japanese-American ties.

Ginza is one of Tokyo’s most elegant and luxurious districts, and I’m not gonna lie: I love the vibe. Not to mention the great photo ops.
