Just over a month ago, we announced our big plans for CheeseWeb’s Asian Adventure 2013. This Wednesday, we returned from that incredible journey. It’s going to take us some time to process all of our thoughts and experiences (not to mention our photos!), but today we want to share just a little taste of what we saw, did, ate and felt over those two fantastic weeks.
We explore the vibrant city of Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia the perfect hub to explore northern Borneo. Learn the best things to do in Kota Kinabalu and exciting day trips from Kota Kinabalu to Mount Kinabalu, the surrounding islands, Sandakan and more.
Nothing can describe the feeling of seeing the jungle leaves begin to rustle and you spot your first glimpse of a wild orangutan. On our recent trip to Borneo, we were among the lucky few who experience this thrill at the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre.
Want a full day trip from Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia to discover Borneo’s nature? A Klias Wetlands river cruise is the perfect way to see proboscis monkeys, macaques, lizards, fireflies and more.
Kinabalu Park is one of the top attractions in Malaysian Borneo. This UNESCO site is home to the stunning Mount Kinabalu. It’s an easy day-trip from Kota Kinabalu so read on to learn all about our final day in East Malaysia.
While planning our trip, we were excited about the many things to do in Hong Kong: markets, culture, temples, and sightseeing. But, I’m sure it will come as no surprise, the thing we were most looking forward to, was eating at the best Hong Kong restaurants.
Hong Kong has a market or shopping street for just about any product you can imagine. Not only are they a great place to experience the city’s diverse cultures, but they are a photographer’s paradise. Here are our top picks for the best markets in Hong Kong as well as some amazing shopping streets.
We visit the incredible 10000 Buddhas Monastery in Hong Kong’s New Territories. The trip was not without its challenges and we learned a few lessons the hard way.
Hong Kong is a city of extremes. Despite my fears, before embarking on our Asian Adventure, I found myself falling in love with this vast city of contrasts.
