list – Cappadocia and Myanmar.

10D9N Turkey Trip 2017
 |
| Panoramic Viewpoint in Cappadocia |
Sharing our complete Turkey itinerary from May 25, 2017 to June 3, 2017.
Hubby and I was actually hesitant to visit turkey as it remains in a heightened state of alert, there is a warning that a terrorist attack in the country is "likely" to happen in 2017 again. The last major attack targeted a night club in Istanbul was in New Year's day of 2017 and as I know, well base on the Info I have gathered as many as 16 attacked happened in 2016 alone. The country has been plagued by incidents since mid-2015 also.
A Sneak Peak Inside a Turkish Bath
It is my first time to be naked in front of two foreign men, it was quite a unique experience. We did not really get a clear explanation of why every step we went through was done but all I know is it is relaxing! We went to a Turkish Bath house recommended by a Travel Company near our hotel In Bodrum, Sultan Turkish Bath House.

riding a camel or visiting the dessert, we already had our own
individual experiences of the Dubai dessert and its camel, but we never visited

Taiwan Itinerary for Family 5D4N
 |
| Richard, Me, Aina, Dad, Jeffrey |
Spent Christmas with my family in Taiwan and it's sad that my mom wasn't feeling well a day before so she decided to just stay at home and rest.
No doubt that Taiwan is a foodie's paradise! You should definitely Include Taiwan in your must visit place if you are a foodie, we spent 5D4N in Taiwan touring and eating only.
Sharing our below itinerary, we were able to visit all the places mentioned because we rented our own car for convenience but surely these are all accessible by public transportation.
I would also suggest adding some activity like hiking the Elephant mountain in Nangang District or Taroko George, we did not do it because of my dad and brother. But if it was just me and Richard we will surely visit a lot of hiking spot in Taiwan.
