Planning a trip to Vietnam? Save this. 🇻🇳

The Mekong Delta is one of the best places to visit near Ho Chi Minh City if you want floating markets, boat rides, local food, tropical scenery, and authentic Vietnamese culture.

It’s peaceful, photogenic, and completely different from the big cities. Perfect for a day trip or overnight adventure.

Would you add this to your Vietnam itinerary? 🚤🌴

🚨 Tokyo is saying goodbye to one of Odaiba’s most iconic landmarks.

The Life-Sized Unicorn Gundam Statue at DiverCity Tokyo Plaza is officially set to end its exhibition at the end of August 2026, closing a nearly 9-year run since its debut in 2017.

For years, this 19.7-metre giant Gundam has been one of the must-see spots for anime fans, Japan travellers, photographers, and anyone visiting Tokyo Bay or Odaiba.

From its transformation sequence to its night light shows, this statue has become more than just a tourist attraction — it has become part of Tokyo’s modern pop culture skyline.

If you’re planning a Japan trip in 2026, this may be your final chance to see the Odaiba Gundam before it disappears.

📍 DiverCity Tokyo Plaza, Odaiba
🗓 Exhibition ending: End of August 2026
🇯🇵 Add this to your Tokyo travel itinerary before it’s gone.

First time riding a Waymo in LA and lowkey… it ate 🤯
No driver, no stress, just smooth turns and main-character vibes.
Felt way safer than expected, kinda futuristic, kinda chill.
10/10 would trust the robot again 🤖🛞
Autonomous cars aren’t scary — they’re the future, and LA is already there.

LAで初めてWaymo乗ってみたけど…正直アリすぎた😳
運転手なしなのに超スムーズ、安全感もしっかり。
怖いどころか、未来すぎてワクワク🚘✨
自動運転って、もう普通に信頼できる時代かも。

Lần đầu đi Waymo ở LA và phải nói là… quá xịn 👀🔥
Xe tự lái mà chạy mượt, cảm giác an toàn hơn tưởng tượng rất nhiều.
Không hề đáng sợ, chỉ thấy tương lai tới sớm thôi 🤖🚗
Xe tự hành không phải trend — nó là tương lai, và LA đang dẫn đầu.

Visiting War Remnants Museum was one of the most emotionally powerful experiences of my time in Vietnam. This was not a place you simply visit—it’s a place you feel. I came to learn, and I left humbled, heavy-hearted, and deeply moved. Walking through the exhibits, I found myself quietly crying, reflecting, and gaining a deeper understanding of the resilience, pain, and strength of the Vietnamese people.

The museum does not sensationalise history; it tells it honestly. Through photographs, testimonies, and preserved artefacts, it forces you to confront the human cost of war—especially on civilians and future generations. As difficult as it was, I’m grateful for the experience. It made me love Vietnam and its people even more, not out of pity, but out of respect for their dignity, compassion, and ability to keep moving forward with grace.

If you are visiting Ho Chi Minh City, the War Remnants Museum is an essential stop. It is confronting, educational, and profoundly human—an experience that stays with you long after you walk back out into the noise of the city.

💩 There’s an app that lets you report poo on a map.

I found out about it while having lunch with John and Ben, mid-conversation about LA’s homelessness crisis.

And yes… people literally drop pins whenever they find poo in public areas. Whether it’s from humans or pets is still unknown. 😂

When I checked Tokyo and Sydney, I didn’t know whether to be impressed or disturbed.

Technology’s wild. What’s the weirdest app you’ve ever seen? 🤔

This is why we should always recognise our passport privilege.

As Australians, we hold one of the world’s most powerful passports — ranked 7th globally in 2025. That tiny booklet opens doors to dozens of countries visa-free, letting us explore the world with ease. But with that freedom comes responsibility.

In the words of the QANTAS anthem, “No matter how far or how wide I roam, I still call Australia home.” And it’s true — we’re a nation of travellers, storytellers, and wanderers. Yet it’s easy to forget that not everyone can move across borders as freely as we do.

Having travelled to 69 nations and over 190 cities, I’ve seen how deeply culture, identity, and privilege intertwine. Being a first-generation immigrant reminds me daily that my right to roam is built on the diplomacy and hard work of those who came before me.

🌿 As we continue to represent Australia abroad, let’s travel with humility, show respect for local customs, and remember that holding a passport is a privilege, not a right.

🇦🇺 We are lucky. We are curious. We are travellers. Let’s continue to make Australia proud — wherever our journeys take us.

Why you should combine a nature trek and custard-pies in Japan!

On this trip, I revisited Watagataki Waterfall (in the majestic Tedori Gorge, Hakusan City) — this stunning 32-meter waterfall that had reopened after major road & flood repairs.

We headed there from the Kanazawa region with friends — Brandon, Keiju and Tatsuya — snapped new shots, walked the stairs (watch yer step on the wet ones!), and soaked in pure wilderness.

Then just minutes away we found a little local shop selling the sweet treat: obanyaki (custard/pancake-pies) in the Ishikawa region. These little gems are a must when you’re exploring outside the major city scene around Kanazawa.

Japan isn’t just Tokyo, Kyoto or Osaka — it’s the quiet falls + sweet treats + countryside roads. So next time you plan your “things to do in Japan” or “Kanazawa day trip” list, make sure you add both:

✨Watch the nature + dessert combo unfold. Because when you mix fresh air and sweet bites? That’s travel done right.
