Craft Beer Bars and Tap Rooms in Yokohama - I had the pleasure of living and working in Yokohama and I loved it!

Halloween in Japan

Halloween Parade in Kawasaki, Japan - This Halloween event in Kawasaki is massive! A parade designed not only to conjured up nightmares and fantasies, but also celebrated creativity and ingenuity. I was struck by the variety of costumes, number of participants and the ranges of ages - truly diverse. Moreover, the attention to detail of each costume was jaw-dropping!

Saigon Fine Art

I have visited the Ho Chi Minh City Fine Arts Museum a number of time and, for a a South East Asian Art Gallery, it is a very good experience and I recommend it. The best way to approach this museum is to walk there from your hotel, or guesthouse so that the museum has context… you are not visiting a Louvre, the MET, nor the Uffizi Gallery… you are in Vietnam and with this mindset you can appreciate what this art gallery offers. With an appreciation for Vietnam’s history, culture and people the museum come alive and reveals itself as a wonderful porthole into Vietnamese creativity, culture and their amazing ability to overcome adversity, remain true to themselves and have an strong connection to the art movements in recent history. This museum is rustic and to make it work you need to be proactive, observant and open-minded. Nothing will be handed on a platter here… you wont get any AC, nor colour well design guide nor map and no hand-held spoken guide… you need to be active. If you love art, love learning and discovering, love culture and are open-minded… you trip to the Hồ Chí Minh City Museum of Fine Arts will be very rewarding. My rating: ★★★★

I love Acoustic Bar in Ho Chi Minh City and every time I visit the city, I always pay a visit and I’m never disappointed! Great venue, great music, great vibe and great service - what more could you ask for in a night out? Yoko Cafe is a great music/cafe/restaurant/pub in District 3 in Ho Chi Minh City. Yoko features music from both local and foreign musicians and the set lists consist of local, foreign, covers and original music, and the musicians are excellent!

North Gate Jazz

Music lover need to go to Northgate Jazz Co-Op Chiang Mai, Thailand! I have visited Northgate on many occasions and have enjoyed the experience every time! My tip, however, is to hang around for the last band as they are usually the best of the night, and this is when the crowd is ready to rock. Northgate is open every night from 9.30 – midnight and all the music is live.
