Review of Millenium Hilton Bangkok Hotel, Thailand
I arrived in Bangkok for a business conference which was expected to last over 2 days. After some really fast and furious driving through Bangkok’s traffic in a minibus, I managed to reach the hotel in 1 piece with my fellow passengers. The hotel has a quite a good sized lobby with a lounge. Check [...]
Review of Arlanda Hotellby, Stockholm
Where should you stay in Stockholm if you have an early flight? Considering the fact that it would take about 45 minutes to an hour to reach the airport from the central station, it made sense to stay near the airport. Arlanda Hotellby is one such place, located about 5 to 10 minutes from the [...]

Review of Acco Hostel, Stockholm
It is heartening to know that even though Stockholm is an expensive city, there are still cheap places to stay. If you dare that is.

Cruising to Helsinki in the Baltic Sea with Viking Line
11 – 13 Jan 2011 At only 196 SEK (about SGD40) for a window cabin which can accommodate a maximum of 4 passengers, the cruises to Helsinki are ridiculously cheap and too good an offer to pass up. However there is a catch. There is always a catch isn’t it? These are last minute prices, [...]
Vasa Museum – the only one housing an entire 17th Century warship
10 Jan 2011 After visiting Skansen, we quickly made our way to the Vasa Museum which is about a 15 minutes walk away. Previously we had not heard about Vasa Museum but the couchsurfer who we were staying with had recommended this place to us. So what makes this place worth going? Obviously it must [...]
