Travel Digest

Welcome back to the next post in our crazy adventure hitchhiking from Thailand to Europe! In the last post we reached the border of China from Laos after some tough days hitchhiking. Generally people fly into China as that is one of the visa requirements so arriving at the border post seemed to take the immigration officers by surprise. Of course we were the only foreigners at the crossing as most of the people were Chinese on tour buses or truck drivers.

How far will you go just to see a flower? How long will you wait just to get a look at a flower?!Our journey to Munnar was with the only purpose of finding Neelakurinji flowers the year, 2018. Neelakurinji is a breed of flowers that blooms once in every 12 years like how we say once in a blue moon. I have learnt about this flower in my childhood and always wanted to see the Nilgiri valley turns blue, yes I imagined the flowers to be a real blue and always wondered how great a sight it'll be to see a blue valley. Well, needless to say this trip was a correction to my long time imagination too.

The Lantern Festival is held in Seoul every year, more precisely twice a year. For the first time in spring, on the birthday of Buddha, and the second time in autumn. You probably think, why so often to spend it, go a couple of times, and then not interested. But I hasten to convince you! Although the festival is held in Korea relatively often, it nevertheless never ceases to amaze. How many times I went there, always staying with a huge backpack of delight and impressions.
