On Day 5 of our China trip, we would visit Great Ladder Cliff of Yellow River (黄河大梯子崖). This was the best sight of our 16-day long trip from Beijing to Xi’An.

Today, I’ll share part 2 of our Kyushu Itinerary. If you can recall, we begun our drive towards Nagasaki as soon as we landed in Fukuoka.

What are the things worth buying from Malaysia? As many of you know, I travel to Malaysia frequently, at least twice a month.
