Bubble tea and cat cafes both originated in Taipei. Taipei is renowned for its cleanliness, with garbage trucks often playing Beethoven’s “Für Elise” during pickup. Of the city’s roughly 20 major night markets, Shilin Night Market is the most popular with its 2-million+ monthly visitors. Found in the city’s northern section and dating to the Japanese colonial period, Beitou District is home to over 60 natural hot springs. When in Taipei night markets, keep in mind that many vendors are cash only. Tipping in restaurants can be considered awkward. When on Taipei escalators one should stand to the right and walk on the left. Naturally in religious buildings such as temples its best to dress more modestly while covering the shoulders and knees. Additional temple etiquette to keep in mind is to enter through the right (dragon) door and exit through the left (tiger) door. Avoid the central door as it is reserved for deities. Also avoid pointing at deities (use an open hand instead). Taipei’s currency is the New Taiwan dollar, cars travel on the right-hand side and the drinking age is 18 years old.  Taipei accommodations are some of East Asia’s best. Before we get to Taipei accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

First to inhabit the Taipei area were the Plains-Indigenous Ketagalan people, followed by Han Chinese colonists. After the Qing dynasty permitted development in the area circa the early-18th century, the influx of Han colonists gradually increased. Northern Taiwan was incorporated into the new Taipeh Prefecture in 1875. Taipeh-fu was formally established and became a temporary capital in 1887. The 1895 Treaty of Shimonoseki ceded Taiwan control from the Qing dynasty to Japan. Following its WWII defeat, the Empire of Japan relinquished control to the Republic of China (ROC) in 1945. Retreating from civil war with the Chinese Communist Party, the ruling Kuomintang party relocated ROC headquarters to Taipei, which was declared provisional capital in December 1949. Kuomintang control was mandated by General Order No. 1.. By the early 1960s, Taipei’s population had reached one million, and climbed to over two million by the mid-70s. Multi-party democracy was achieved in the 1990s, thanks largely to the Wild Lily student movement.

Taiwan’s capital as well as a special municipality, Taipei is home to about 2.5 million Taiwanese within 105 square miles. The greater Taipei Basin was once an ancient lakebed. Only about 30% of Taiwanese people speak basic English, with less than 10% speaking the language fluently. The world’s tallest building at one point in time, Taipei 101 elevates to 1,667 feet. An enclave (territory surrounded entirely by another territory), Taipei City is tucked inside the municipality of New Taipei City. The Taipei area is mountainous to include Qixing Mountain, Mt. Datun and the Tatun Volcanic Group. Taipei is characterized by a humid subtropical / tropical rainforest climate. Long summers are hot / humid with potential typhoons. Winters are short, warm and typically foggy. Taipei local foods include beef noodle soup (niu rou mian – Taiwan’s national dish), hot pot, soup dumplings (xiao long bao), ginger duck (jiang mu ya – winter stew), braised pork rice (lu rou fan) and Taiwanese breakfast (fresh soy milk, dough-based items). Popular drinks are whiskey, lager / craft beer, tea-infused cocktails and of course bubble tea. With some background information on the area, we’re ready for Taipei accommodations that are sure to impress.

Macau Accommodations

Macau accommodations

Macau accommodations welcome you to a destination nicknamed “Las Vegas of the East”.

Macau known for: casinos, shopping / amusement areas, towers, churches, Buddhist temples, bridges, squares, parks, gardens, historic districts, Guangdong-style architecture

Located on China’s southern coast near Hong Kong. Macau is a special administrative region of China (like Hong Kong). A glittering metropolis, Macau connects to Hong Kong via fast ferry or the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. Southward across the two-way, duel-lane Governor Nobre de Carvalho Bridge near Macau Peninsula are Taipa Island and The Cotai Strip, respectively. Asia’s version of Las Vegas, The Cotai Strip boasts around 60 hotels. Bordering Macau northward, China’s Guangdong Province expands for nearly 70,000 square miles. Directly westward, the Pearl River flows inside the China border and into the South China Sea.

Macau main attractions: Ruins of Saint Paul’s (17th-century church – destroyed by fire), Senado Square (town square – restaurants, shops), Macau Tower Convention and Entertainment Center (shops, eateries, cinema, revolving restaurant, observation areas), Macau Fisherman’s Wharf (harbor-front entertainment complex – casinos, rides, restaurants, shops), Casino Lisboa (casino / landmark building – bright exterior lights, pineapple-shaped), A-Ma Temple (Macau’s oldest temple est. 1488 – dedicated to the sea goddess), Monte Fort (1626 fort – rooftop park, cannons, skyline views), Mandarin’s House (Guangdong-style home – guided tours), Macao Science Center (science museum), Guia Fortress and Lighthouse (Colonial lighthouse / museum), Lou Lim Ioc Garden (garden – traditional Chinese landscaping, pavilions, bridges, ponds), Chapel of Our Lady of Penha (hilltop Catholic church – panoramic views, rebuilt c. 1935), Templo de Kun Iam (Buddhist temple), Macau Museum of Art

Cotai points of interest: City of Dreams (shopping mall), Venetian Macao Casino, Eiffel Tower (replica), teamLab (modern art museum), The Cotai Strip (Estrada do Istmo road – hotels / casinos), Galaxy Arena, Studio City Water Park, Grand Resort Deck (waterpark), Macau International Golf (golf course)

Macau main airport: Macau International Airport

Rideshare service: Unavailable

As rideshare service is unavailable in Macau due to regulations, licensed taxi or hotel shuttle are among the best options for travel between the airport and hotel

Mass transit system: Macau Light Rapid Transit (MLRT – automated, rubber-tired system)

Macau top events: Macao Light Festival, Macao Arts Festival, Macao International Music Festival, Macao International Parade, Macau Grand Prix, Macau Open (golf), Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Fight Night, MPT Macau Poker Open (MGM Casino Macau)

More fun things: House of Dancing Water Ticket

When in Macau, keep in mind that certain casinos also offer free shuttle service. Power outlets are European-style (Type G, C, F). Hong Kong is a popular gateway to Macau. It might be best to avoid Macau during Chinese holidays, as it can be crowded with higher demand for accommodations. Macau’s currency is the Macanese Pataca (MOP), though Hong Kong Dollars (HKD) are widely accepted at a 1:1 ratio, and the legal drinking age is 18 years old. Like in Hong Kong, cars travel on the left-hand side of the road. Macau accommodations are some of South China’s best. Before we get to Macau accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

Macau-area habitation first occurred under the Han dynasty (202BC-9AD). From there various dynasties jockeyed for control of Macau. Fleeing the Mongol conquest of China, tens of thousands of mainland refugees settled Macau’s coastal area in 1277. Portuguese explorer Jorge Álvares was the first European to reach China by sea circa 1513. The Portuguese set up the trade settlement Tamão near Hong Kong the following year. Clashes ensued between the Portuguese and Ming dynasty, and in 1521 Portuguese traders were expelled from Tamão. Despite the trade ban the Portuguese eventually settled on Macau, where they attempted forcefully to install trading posts. Their early efforts were in vain, examples of which being the Battle of Tunmen and the Battle of Sincouwaan. Subsequently the Portuguese (referred to as Franks in the 1554 Luso-Chinese agreement) would return to the Macau area with a more diplomatic approach. Portugal thus was allowed to rent a Macau trading post in 1554 for an annual lease (silver taels to the Ming dynasty). Portugal acquired a permanent lease in 1557 in exchange for 500 taels of silver annually. The Portuguese established trade with Japan and created the 1576 Roman Catholic Diocese of Macau, as well as the 1583 Municipal Council of Macau. Around this time, Macau reached the apex of its colonial prosperity, thanks largely to the exportation of Chinese silk to Japan. The Dutch attempted unsuccessfully to take the city by way of the 1622 Battle of Macau. 1640s catastrophic events, to include a 1639 Japanese trade halt, the 1640 Portuguese Restoration War and the 1641 fall of Portuguese-Malacca to the Dutch, led to a period of decline in Macau. Ming loyalists slowly diminished, and in 1757 Qing China’s Canton System was implemented. Macau returned to prominence again in the 18th century, albeit through the opium trade. The British established Hong Kong following the First Opium War, and Macau again lost its luster. Capitalizing on China’s weakened position following the opium war, Portugal’s Governor of Macau annexed Taipa (1851) and Coloane (1864).  The 1887 Sino-Portuguese Treaty of Peking granted Portugal perpetual colonial rights over Macau in exchange for its cooperation in curbing opium smuggling following the Second Opium War. Perhaps on account of early trade relations, Japan respected Portugal’s neutrality in Macau at the onset of World War II. The United States, having learned that the Portuguese intended to sell aviation fuel to the Empire of Japan, ordered air raids on Macau in 1945. Portugal formally relinquished Macau as an overseas province following the 1974 Carnation Revolution, deeming the area a “Chinese territory under Portuguese administration”. The 1987 Joint Declaration on the Question of Macau set in motion Portugal’s transfer of the territory to the People’s Republic of China. Macau International Airport opened on November 9, 1995, and after 442 years of colonial rule, Portugal handed over Macau to the People’s Republic of China on December 20, 1999.

Two islands (Taipa and Coloane), Macau is home to around 720,000 people within 12.7 square miles. Macau generated $28.4 billion in 2024 gross gaming revenue compared to Las Vegas’ 2025 total of $8.82 billion. Macau’s tallest building, Macau Tower reaches 1,109 feet, while the Macau skyline illuminates with an additional 563 high-rise buildings. Home to a humid subtropical climate, Macau experiences humid summers and dry winters. Typhoons are possible and occur most often during summer monsoon season. Combining Chinese and Portuguese flavors, Macanese cuisine is often considered the world’s first fusion cuisine. Local foods include minchi (minced meat & potatoes), balichao tamarind pork, pork chop buns, galinha à africana (chicken), pastéis de bacalhau (salt cod fritters), curry fishballs, Portuguese egg tarts (ex. Lord Stow’s / Margaret’s Café) and durian ice cream. Popular drinks are wine and tea, along with characteristic casino drinks / cocktails. With some background information on the area, we’re ready for Macau accommodations that are sure to impress.

Hong Kong accommodations welcome you to a destination nicknamed “Pearl of the Orient”.

Hong Kong known for: skyline, harbors, promenades, plazas, parks, gardens, unique geography, museums, Buddhist temples, theme parks, shopping / convention centers, night markets, trams

Hong Kong is abutted by Hong Kong Island to its immediate south. Across Victoria Harbour from mainland Hong Kong, Hong Kong Island combines Asian tradition with modern style. A special Chinese administrative district, Hong Kong is located just south of Shenzhen, China. Across the Zhujiang River Estuary is Macau, an autonomous region known as “Las Vegas of Asia”.

Although Cantonese is Hong Kong’s most widely-spoken language, about half of the city’s population speaks English. Good to practice before traveling to Hong Kong are some Cantonese phrases and eating with chop sticks. Keep in mind that Pearl of the Orient ranks as one of the world’s most expensive cities. Hong Kong’s currency is the Hong Kong dollar, cars travel on the left-hand side and the drinking age is 18 years old. Hong Kong accommodations are some of Asia’s best. Before we get to Hong Kong accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

Humans have inhabited the Hong Kong-area for an estimated 35,000 years.  A Sai Kung-area archaeological dig site (discovered 2023) unearthed knapped stone tools. Starting in the Neolithic period (about 6,000 years ago), Austronesians and Tue peoples, respectively, are believed to have inhabited semi-coastal regions. Also discovered were coarse / hard pottery, quartz / stone jewelry, small bronze implements and evidence of rice cultivation, which date to the Late-Neolithic period. In 214 BC, the Qin dynasty incorporated the Hong Kong-area into China. After the Qin collapse circa 206 BC, the Hong Kong region was consolidated into the Nanyue kingdom. Subsequently, the region was recaptured by China during the Han conquest of 111 BC. The 1279 AD Battle of Yamen between the Song dynasty and the Yuan dynasty resulted in a Yuan victory and the fall of the Song dynasty, which had ruled since 960 AD. Seven large families owned most of the region’s land by the end of the Yuan dynasty circa 1368. Throughout the subsequent Ming dynasty (1368-1644), settlers from nearby provinces migrated to Kowloon. Portuguese explorer Jorge Álvares, arriving in 1513, is the first known European to visit the area. Tamão, a trading post established by Portuguese merchants, was set up in Hong Kong waters to trade with southern China. Military clashes in the 1520s resulted in Portugal being expelled from the area for the next 300-plus years. In 1887, however, the Sino-Portuguese Treaty of Peking between the Kingdom of Portugal and the Qing dynasty gave Portugal trading rights to Macau in exchange for helping to end opium smuggling. From 1661 to 1683, the Hong Kong region was turned into a wasteland as a result of the “Great Frontier Shift”, which required the evacuation of coastal areas in order to fight Taiwan-based anti-Qing loyalists. Following Haijin “sea bans”, the 1757 Canton System was established by Qing authorities, thus restricting non-Russian ships to the port of Canton, or present-day Guangzhou. Chinese demand for European goods was limited to precious metals, which created a trade imbalance between China and Europe that favored China. As a result, Britain sold large amounts of Indian opium to China, creating a problem for the Qing dynasty. The First Opium War between the United Kingdom and Qing China resulted in a British victory, with Hong Kong Island being ceded to Britain. By early 1842, British administrative infrastructure was built, but commerce was stymied by disease, Qing policies and piracy. The 1850s Taiping Rebellion saw Chinese refugees, including wealthy merchants, flee mainland China to settle in the Hong Kong area, thus helping to improve conditions. The 1856 Second Opium War between the United Kingdom / France and China resulted in another UK victory, Kowloon Peninsula and Stonecutters Island being ceded into British Hong Kong, and Outer Manchuria being ceded to Russia. In 1898, the UK obtained a 99-year lease of the New Territories. The University of Hong Kong opened in 1911 and Kai Tak Airport began operation in 1924. On December 8, 1941, the same morning as the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Imperial Japanese Army attacked Hong Kong. Thereafter, Japan occupied the area for almost four years before Britain regained control on August 30, 1945. Following World War II, skilled Chinese migrants fled the mainland Chinese Civil War to Hong Kong, which again proved beneficial to the area. Starting in the 1950s, Hong Kong would become part of the “Four Asian Tiger” economies along with Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan. Pro-Republic of China and Chinese Communist Party protests, riots and rising labor and property costs diminished the British territory’s competitiveness. Near the end of the UK’s lease, uncertainty regarding the New Territories arose. The 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration, whereby the United Kingdom would handover the colony to China in 1997, guaranteed Hong Kong’s economic and political systems for 50 years following the handover. After 156 years of British rule, Hong Kong was handed over to China at midnight on July 1, 1997. Around this time and thereafter, several crises ensued, to include the 1997 Asian financial crisis, avian flu and SARS epidemics.

Officially the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong is found alongside the Pearl River estuary in southern China. One of the world’s most densely populated cities, Hong Kong is home to around 7.5 million “Hongkongers”. Around 10% of the city’s population identifies as Chinese. Pearl of the Orient has the largest number of skyscrapers of any world city, with over 550 buildings exceeding 492-feet in height. Approximately 44.5 million people visited Pearl of the Orient in the year 2024. Hong Kong enjoys a capitalist mixed-service economy, with low taxation and minimal government market intervention, emphasizing economic liberty and the rule of law. Three types of gambling are legal in Hong Kong: lottery, horse racing and football sports betting. Summers are hot and humid, whereas winters are mild and typically sunny. Snowfall is rare. Additional points of interest include HKEX (Hong Kong Stock Exchange), International Commerce Centre, Two International Finance Centre, Lui Seng Chun (Grade I historic building) and The University of Hong Kong (HKU). Local foods include pork, goose, chicken, seafood, wontons and dim sim (Cantonese, bite-sized, steamed dumplings). A popular alcoholic drink is baijiu (strong, clear liquor, served neat, typically with dinner). With some background information on the area, we’re ready for Hong Kong accommodations that will help make for an outstanding trip.

Roughly half-way between the countries of Myanmar (westward) and Cambodia (eastward), Bangkok is Asia’s 12-largest city by population. Sourced by the Ping and Nan Rivers’ confluence at the city of Nakhon Sawan, the Chao Phraya River (“River of Kings” – Thailand’s longest river) winds through City of Angels and empties into the Gulf of Thailand.

An English-speaking Asian city, Bangkok is home to a wide range of restaurants and establishments. When in Bangkok, one should be cognizant of the tenants of Buddhism, or five precepts, while also showing respect for the Thai royal family. Kissing in public, throwing chewed gum onto the ground and pointing the soles of one’s feet at anyone should be avoided. Scams, such as overcharging and dual pricing, do exist. A known scam is the gem scam, where overpriced, or even worthless, gems are sold to tourists. Aside from temples and shrines, red-light districts also do exist in the city. Although prostitution technically is illegal in Thailand, enforcement typically is lax. Cannabis recently was legalized in Bangkok (medical prescription now required – individual dispensary websites may be helpful to check in advance). Cannabis partakers should avoid smoking in public places, as the act could result in up to three months in prison. Bangkok currency is the Thai Baht, cars travel on the left-hand side and the drinking age is 20 years old. Bangkok accommodations are some of Southeast Asia’s best. Before we get to Bangkok accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

Bangkok started as a village on the Chao Phraya River’s west bank around the early 15th century. Under the rule of Ayutthaya, or the Empire of Ayutthaya (1351-1767 AD), the early village served as a customs outpost, with forts on both sides of the river. Fought between the Kingdom of Siam and the Kingdom of France (which had established a presence in the area), the 1688 Siege of Bangkok resulted in a decisive Siamese victory, and the subsequent expulsion of France from Siam. In 1767, Ayutthaya fell to the Burmese, with the Thonbun Kingdom’s King Taksin the Great establishing a capital therein. Succeeding Taksin, King Phutthayotfa Chulalok, or Rama I, moved the capital to Rattanakosin Island and established the Rattanakosin Kingdom (1782-1932). Regarded as the city’s founding date, April 21, 1782 marks the day when the Bangkok City Pillar was erected. International trade with China, and then with Western merchants, expanded Bangkok’s economy during the early-to-mid 19th century. The steam engine, the printing press, rail transport, utilities infrastructure, formal education and healthcare were introduced during the reigns of Rama IV and Rama V (1851-1910). In 1932, absolute monarchy was abolished in Thailand, with Bangkok becoming a focal point for power struggles between the political elite and the military. Allied with Japan during World War II, Bangkok experienced Allied bombings. Following the war, however, as a result of US aid and government-sponsored investment, Bangkok became a US military R&R destination. Tourism, along with sex tourism, received a definitive boost. Following the US’ withdrawal from Vietnam circa 1973, Japan took over investments in Bangkok. The 1980s and 90s ushered in economic growth, which was stymied by the 1997 Asian financial crisis.

Home to around 8.5 million Bangkokians, Bangkok is Thailand’s capital and most populous city. Located in the Chao Phraya River delta in central Thailand, the city spans over 600 square miles. Colloquially, Bangkok is known as Krung Thep. Often the world’s most visited city, Bangkok accommodated 32.4 million international visitors in 2024. Traffic congestion is common, especially during rush hour, which makes subway transport more ideal at times. Violent crime is relatively low in Bangkok, though pickpocketing is known to occur. The City of Angels enjoys a tropical savanna climate. Average high temperatures stay around 90 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year, while average lows remain in the 70s. The city’s record low is 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Additional points of interest include Sathon (district), Sao Chingcha (Giant Swing), Victory Monument, Rama VIII Bridge, Royal Plaza, Khao San Road (tourist street), Siam Discovery (shopping mall), Museum of Contemporary Art, National Stadium and Hua Mak Sports Complex. Local foods include hot and sour soup, fried noodles, sticky rice and spicy meats. Popular drinks are beer, whiskey, iced tea and coffee. With some background information on the area, we’re ready for Bangkok accommodations that will help make for a memorable experience.

Seoul’s professional football club is FC Seoul, which plays at Seoul World Cup Stadium. When in Seoul, it’s customary to accept items using both hands. If calling a taxi, use your palm. Keep in mind that in Seoul, English is not widely spoken. Basic, helpful Korean words to know are annyeonghaseyo (an-yoo-uh-seyo – hello), annyeonghi gaseyo (an-yoo-nee gaseyo – goodbye),  gamsahabnida (khun-sanga – thank you) and dangsin-eun yeong-eoleul hal su issnayo (honch-nin yomo-dinuh swee-niyo – do you speak English?). In Seoul, cars travel on the right-hand side, currency is the South Korean Won and the drinking age is 19 years old. Seoul accommodations are some of Eastern Asia’s best. Before we get to Seoul accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

Humans have inhabited the Seoul-area for an estimated 40,000 years. Umjip, pit-houses with lowered floors, housed the area’s people around 4,000 BC. Stone Age materials have been discovered at Amsa-dong Neolithic Site. Following the 108 BC Wiman Joseon dynasty collapse, Chinese Warring State refugees fled to the Han River basin. These Chinese refugees brought with them culture and technology that would influence the Seoul-area during the Iron Age. After the refugees’ arrival, the region’s Jin confederacy of statelets having been disintegrated, dozens of new statelets emerged, which all competed for influence over the Han River basin. By the 2nd century AD, the region’s dominant local power became the kingdom of Baekje, with its capital located at Wiryeseong (modern-day Seoul area). In the summer of 553, Baekje ceded control of the region to the eastern kingdom of Silla. Early-on, the Han River likely was named Namcheon (Nam River). In 603, the Goguryeo dynasty (located near Pyongyang), allied with Silla, attacked Seoul’s Bukhansanseong fortress and won. The following year, Silla abolished Namcheon Province, which had been established in 568 by Silla’s 24th monarch, Jinheung Taewang. Silla subsequently reestablished Bukhansan Province, thus strengthening the Kingdom’s northern border. Unified Silla was succeeded by the Korean state of Goryeo in the 11th century, and a summer palace was built in modern-day Seoul. Referred to as the “Southern Capital”, Seoul started to become a larger settlement around this time. Founding father of the 505-year Joseon dynasty, Yi Seong-gye chose Seoul as Korea’s planned capital sometime around 1392, the year when Yi Seong-gye enthroned himself at then-capital, old Goryeo. Yi Seong-gye changed the Kingdom’s name from Goryeo to Joseon in 1393. Hanyang (Seoul) officially was chosen as Joseon’s new capital in September 1394. An embodiment of Korean Confucianism, the new capital city Hanyang started being built in October 1394. Gyeongbokgung (palace) and Seoul City Wall were two of Hanyang’s major early developments. Governed by the national agency Hanseongbu, Hanyang’s two main sections were partitioned into Seong-jung (inside the Fortress Wall ) and Seongjeosimni (around the Fortress Wall). Hanyang city’s downtown area became known as Doseong-an, or more popularly Sadaemun-an, meaning ‘areas inside of the Four Great Gates’. Not until the late-19th century did Seoul open its gates to foreigners. Modernization thus ensued, and Gyeongbokgung became East Asia’s first palace to introduce electricity, while electrical street lights were implemented shortly thereafter. In 1897, the Korean Empire was proclaimed by the monarch Gojong. Temporarily called Hwangseong, Seoul engaged in trade with foreign countries such as France and the United States. Seoul Electric Company, Seoul Electric Trolley Company and Seoul Fresh Spring Water Company were examples of joint Korean–US owned enterprises. The Japan-Korea Treaty of 1910 resulted in the annexation of the Korean Empire by the Empire of Japan, and Hwangseong’s renaming to Gyeongseong. Under Japanese colonial rule, Gyeongseong’s city walls were removed, roads were paved and Western-style buildings were built. During the Second Sino-Japanese War, Yeongdeungpo District was annexed into Gyeongseong in order to serve as a steel and metalworking industrial complex. Following World War II, Gyeongseong was liberated by US forces. The American military assumed control of what would become known as Seoul in 1945, with the city becoming a municipal corporation. Soviet-Chinese-backed North Korean forces and American-backed South Korean forces swapped control of Seoul four times during the Korean War. Seoul’s extensive Korean War damages resulted in South Korea’s capital being relocated to Busan for a short period. The Seoul metropolitan area’s population reached around 1.5 million by 1955. During the late-1960s, Hannam Bridge and Gyeongbu Expressway were constructed. North Korea had claimed Seoul as its de jure capital until 1972. Seoul hosted the 1986 Asian Games and 1988 Summer Olympics, and was a 2002 FIFA World Cup venue.

Home to around 9.5 million inhabitants, Seoul is known officially as Seoul Special Metropolitan City, with over 26 million people inhabiting the overall metropolitan area. US citizens comprise around 7.5% of Seoul’s population. The word Seoul means “capital city”. Around 16,360 high-rise buildings, to include 126 skyscrapers, illuminate the Seoul skyline. At 1,821 feet tall, Lotte World Tower is the city’s tallest building. Seoul typically ranks in the world’s top-five metropolitan economies, with a GDP at around $635 billion. In 2023, over 8 million foreign tourists visited the city. High temperatures hover around 85 degrees in August, and 35 degrees in January. Additional points of interest include Changdeok Palace (15th-century Joseon Dynasty palace), Jongmyo Shrine (Joseon dynasty royals Confucian shrine), Namhansanseong (fortress / military stronghold), Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty (40 Joseon Dynasty tombs), Gangnam (affluent district / nightlife area), Sungnyemun (historic gate), National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul Museum of Art, Myeongdong Cathedral and Jamsil Baseball Stadium. Local foods include bibimbap (rice dish), bulgogi (“fire meat”), samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup), tteokbokki  (stir-fried rice cakes), hotteok (stuffed pancake) and odeng (fish cake). Seoul street foods can be found at places such as pojangmacha (street stalls) and bunsikjip (snack bars). A traditional Korean side dish, Kimchi (salted and fermented vegetables) is a South Korean staple. Popular Seoul drinks include soju (a sweet spirit), bokbunja ju (fruit wine), banana milk and various teas, while lager-style is the most popular beer. With some background information on the city, we’re ready for Seoul accommodations that are sure to inspire.

Singapore is an island-country and city-state located on the Malay Peninsula’s southern tip in maritime Southeast Asia. Acting as Singapore’s northern border and separating the island-country from Malaysia to the north, The Johor Strait stretches east-to-west for 30 miles, with a maximum width of 3 miles. Surrounding the country are the Malaysian state of Johor Bahru to the north and the Singapore Strait to the south. Across the Singapore Strait, Indonesia’s Riau Islands include the largest island of Batam.

English is Singapore’s most commonly spoken language, especially around tourist areas. Outside of tourist areas, one should dress more conservatively. Do not smoke or chew gum in public, as these acts are actually illegal. Strict rules are also enforced against littering. Gratuity is often included on restaurant bills. Nightclubs sometimes have their own minimum-age for entry, though the minimum of 18 years old is most common. Singapore’s currency is the Singapore dollar, cars drive on the left-hand side and the drinking age is 18 years old.  Singapore accommodations are some of Southeast Asia’s best. Before we get to Singapore accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

In the 14th century, Temasek (Singapore) existed as a Majapahit Empire (Java island) and Siamese kingdom (present-day Thailand) trading port. One of the area’s first settlements was located at Fort Canning Hill. By the 17th century, Singapore was part of the Johor Sultanate, which controlled much of the Malay Peninsula along with a part of Sumatra to the southeast. Portuguese raiders burned down the settlement circa 1613, and the island was largely abandoned for the next two centuries. The Dutch took control of the area’s maritime trade following their 1641 conquest of Malacca (a southern Malaysian state). Dutch Malacca lasted from 1641 to 1825, the longest period under which Malacca remained under foreign control. On January 28, 1819, British lieutenant-governor Stamford Raffles arrived in Singapore. Raffles quickly recognized the island’s potential as a new port. At this time, Singapore was ruled nominally by Johor’s 18th Sultan, Tengku Abdul Rahman, who presided under Dutch and Bugis control. Capitalizing on a division of power between Sultanate brothers, Stamford Raffles smuggled Abdul Rahman’s elder brother Tengku Long, who had been exiled to the Riau Islands, into Singapore, where Raffles recognized Tengku as the rightful Sultan of Johor. In exchange, Britain was granted a trading post on Singapore. Signed on February 6, 1819, the Treaty of Singapore marked the official founding of modern Singapore, and allowed the British East India Company to open a trading post on the island. Naturally, the entire island was absorbed into the British Empire by 1824, and became part of the Straits Settlements by 1826. In 1836, Singapore became British India’s regional capital. By 1860, the island’s population had reached 80,000. Over half of the population was Chinese, who had immigrated to work on the island’s pepper and gambier plantations. The Straits Settlements came under direct control of Britain circa 1867, and in the 1890s Singapore’s rubber exports came into prominence. Singapore’s only significant World War I event was the 1915 Singapore mutiny initiated by Indian Muslims, who believed they would be sent to fight against the largely Muslim Ottoman Empire. Following World War I, Britain built Singapore Naval Base. During the Second World War’s Pacific War, Japan captured Singapore from Britain following the invasion of Malaya and the Battle of Singapore. On August 15, 1945, Japan surrendered Singapore to the Allies, at which time a brief state of disorder, looting and revenge-killing ravaged the island. On April 1, 1946, the island’s British Military Administration ended and Singapore became a separate Crown Colony, governed again by Britain. Chinese communists waged guerrilla warfare against the government during the 1950s. The Malayan Emergency (1948-1960) between British Empire /Commonwealth forces and the Malayan Communist Party resulted in a Commonwealth victory, the Federation of Malaya on August 31, 1957 and a communist retreat to the Malayan-Thai border. Subsequent to Britain allowing Singapore to be largely (apart from militarily) self-governed, the People’s Action Party won Singapore’s May 30, 1959 election handily. Tunku Abdul Rahman, Malaya’s prime minister, proposed a new Federation called Malaysia on May 27, 1961, which Britain believed would prevent Singapore from becoming a communist haven. Singapore, Malaya, North Borneo and Sarawak joined to form the Federation of Malaysia on September 16, 1963 through the Malaysia Agreement, which granted Singapore a high level of autonomy relative to other states. On August 9, 1965, though, stemming from trade restrictions and race riots, Singapore was expelled from Malaysia. The expulsion ironically and ultimately would help to bolster Singapore, however, as it became the newly independent Republic of Singapore. Singapore’s first prime minister and a member of the People’s Action Party, Lee Kuan Yew would serve to shape Singapore’s outlook for the next half-century. During the 1980s, with unemployment dropping to 3%, water fabrication helped Singapore remain competitive in manufacturing with neighboring countries. Around this time, Changi Airport opened, Singapore Airlines formed and the Port of Singapore became one of the world’s busiest ports. Service and tourism industries grew rapidly. Singapore’s real GDP growth would average around 8% until the turn of the millennium. Iconifying modern Singapore, Resorts World Sentosa opened on January 20, 2010, followed shortly thereafter by Marina Bay Sands on April 27, 2010.

Today, Singapore is home to around 6 million “Singaporeans”. Singapore’s name is believed to have originated from Sumatran prince Sang Nila Utama ‘s observation of a “lion” (most likely a Malayan tiger) upon his arrival to the area. The lion, along with the tiger, are displayed on Singapore’s National Coat of Arms. Singapore’s mascot, the Merlion statue, with its fish body and lion head, can be observed at Merlion Park spouting water relatively far into Marina Bay. Lion City attracts over 17 million visitors per year, which naturally accounts for a significant percentage of the country’s GDP. Upscale shopping centers and restaurants are particularly prominent in the Orchard Road (colloquially and simply known as Orchard) shopping belt, located in the Central Area. An important animal sanctuary, the Singapore Zoo attracts around 2 million visitors per year, while Bird Paradise cares for and exhibits around 500 different bird species, totaling around 3,500 birds, from around the world. Universal Studios Singapore receives around 4 million visitors annually. Home to a tropical rainforest climate, Singapore remains consistently warm throughout the year. Average summer highs stay in the upper-80 degrees Fahrenheit, while winters average only a few degrees cooler. Monsoon season occurs from November to February. Additional points of interest include Downtown Core, Port of Singapore, The Victoria Theatre, Jewel Changi Airport, National University of Singapore, The Istana, Parliament House, The Speakers’ Corner and Chinatown. Singapore dishes tend to have some spice to them. Local foods include hainanese chicken rice (poached chicken with seasoned rice, served with spicy chili sauce and cucumber garnishes), chili crab, BBQ stingray, fish head curry, laksa (spicy noodle soup), char kway teow (a stir-fry noodle dish) and hokkien prawn mee (spicy, noodle-based). Singapore’s national drink is the gin-based Singapore Sling, while beer is also popular. With a little background information on the area, we’re ready for Singapore accommodations that will help provide for an incredible experience.
