Arriving in Thailand: good deeds, too many drinks and a haunted tower!
written by @martibis

It's 5 A.M. in the morning, I wake up feeling groggy. After a quick shower, I throw myself in the hammock spanning my room. The coffee slowly starts doing its job. It's not the first time I had a hard time sleeping before a long trip. In a little over an hour I have my train to the airport. My dad is already up, getting ready for work. We say goodbye without a lot of words, I guess we never were good at goodbyes anyways.

written by @livinguktaiwan

Ama translates to 'woman of the sea' in Japanese and is a thousand year old diving tradition. Some even believe that this tradition dates back to much longer. They are predominantly female and free dive without any oxygen tanks. In they old days Amas used to dive topless and were known as the mermaids of Japan. There are now around 2,000 Ama divers in Japan with eight hundred in the Mie prefecture alone.

written by @sina-adventure

We woke up late in the morning. sun was already high in the sky and… NO CLOUDS!!! Filband is called forest of clouds. It famous for its clouds that usually form below the village, and it creates a really interesting view. You're literary higher than clouds. The day before, we hoped we could see more clouds this day, but no luck anyway.
