It is not a big museum, but it is close to the Old Town (between the old town and Sodermalm).
The Medieval Museum opens from 12 to 7pm, and it is FREE to enter now.
I kinda knew there’s an Oriental supermarket in Stockholm, what I didn’t know was how easily found it is.
One thing you will notice in Stockholm (Sweden) is that designs are found everywhere, and they surprise you! The public transportation is not so expensive and it is very comfortable. And not just that, I found it so enjoyable for discovering...
There are two circus in Saint Petersburg. 1.The Bolshoi St Petersburg State One is called The Bolshoi St Petersburg State. This one is the state’s circus. And it has a long history. The website is available in English and you can’t buy...
Frankly, during my research I got the impression that the Hermitage Museum is overcrowded and you will waste a lot of time if you don’t purchase tickets online in advance (it was $18 online if I remember correctly). But I’m glad I...
When you plan for your itinerary for Saint Petersburg, don’t forget to plan for watching a ballet performance. Cost: Minimum 400 rubbles ($7) Duration: 3 Hours It is well worth it! You can watch a ballet show everywhere, and...
The city is being rebuilt.
3 months after the earthquakes, many people still slept in tents. Many were still displaced. But Nepali people have not become cynical. They are still smiling, and trying to make lives back on track.
Not every bakery worth mentioning, but this joy-filled one on Nevsky Prospect called Kupetz Eliseevs is. You will not miss this shop as it loudly steals your attention with its sugar-coated dolls. And as a matter of fact, it isn’t just a...
If you happen to be in Saint Petersburg for three days and you have no idea what to see, then Saint Isaac’s Cathedral is an easy answer. It’s conveniently located near the Nevsky Prospect and the Hermitage. I know how vague...
Even if you are on a budget, you can still experience Norway’s fjord for a relatively cheap price. Oslo fjord is the closest fjord available from Oslo (hence the name). You can take a dinner cruise or sightseeing cruise, but it won’t be...
The answer is yes, but…. You will need to talk to the ground staff and insist you don’t have (or can’t get) Indian visa. And you will have to emphasize that you cannot go through the immigration. Then maybe, if you have luggage...
Remember my last post about when the worst time is to send a coucusurfing request? Now I have to tell you for sure that….. 2 weeks before your arrival is a really really bad time to send out a request, especially if it is summer. Why? Because...
I was in Boudha, Nepal. It’s a religious place where Buddhists come to pray and worship. As a Christian, you can feel the spiritual atmosphere is very different. When the Buddhist prayer is played on a loud speaker which was penetrating my...
It is actually quite easy to apply Indian visa from Nepal, and even if you have foreign passports you can also be granted Indian visa in Nepal and not only from your home country.
We went to Siaulial, Kaunas, Trakai and Vilnius in two days. Actually we didn’t even get out of the car when we were in Kaunas. Hence our major cost was definitely transportation. (Read more about our itinerary here:Lithuania in 2 Days –...
Travelling around a country is always more expensive than only visiting its capital city. We travelled in June, 2015 in a group of 4.
Each of us spent $27.5 per day in Latvia.
We travelled as a group of 4 adults (family). Each of us only spent $17.8 per day when we were in Stockholm.
I didn’t have any expectation on the Vestkanttorget Flea Market. It happens every Saturday from 10-4pm. The location is in a park very close to Vineland’s park, about 5 minutes walk I think. You can ask the local where the flea market is.
Tallinn is a beautiful town. And I won’t mind spending more than just one day here. Some people disagree that prices are significantly cheaper in Tallinn than in Helsinki. But I did feel prices were cheaper in Tallinn. We spent $7.5 per person...
In Frogner’s park, I had one of those aha! moments. There were a lot of people and games. At first I thought it was a summer party, and then the balloons made me feel it was a celebration of something. It seemed really fun and exciting! Though...
