» A weekend break is always nice and it is nicer if it is to Singapore. It is nicest when now and again we remind ourselves of how an efficient world works and this is one of the main reasons I go to Singapore.

Though one is spoilt for hotel choices in Singapore, Andaz is a great hotel to begin my post-Covid sojourn in the island-nation, in the heart of the Lion City.

» What better way to break the cycle of first-time travel after almost three years of being stuck in Thailand, than a trip to a new resort in Vietnam. Da Nang is often seen as the weekend beach retreat for the Vietnamese, with its never-ending coastline and casinos. Though further up the coast, an hour's drive away, lies an unspoilt beachfront paradise -- Hoiana, which is also Vietnam's first integrated resort.
