Crazy House (Da Lat, Vietnam)

  The  “Crazy House” of Da Lat (originally the “Moon House”) is a maze of tunnels and narrow, sometimes dangerous, staircases.           Admission was only 40,000 VND each (less than US$2), and well worth it. The place is surreal; one online review said it was like something out of a Dr.… Read More Crazy House (Da Lat, Vietnam)

Overnight in Shanghai

My husband recently traveled to take-a-look-at-this-skyline-Shanghai. It was a very last-minute trip; he left within a few hours of being told he would be traveling, and then was there for barely more than 24hrs total. But still: no fair. Still can’t believe he got there first. The Shanghai flight was direct from Saipan and somewhere around… Read More Overnight in Shanghai
