Woobar, on top of the W Taipei hotel, is practically the only rooftop pool bar in the city, and is a popular party place as a result. The home of regular pool parties, Woobar features a modern, colourful style, with a number of fruity signature drinks, including citrus-infused vodka.
The food offerings are likewise unique and include vanilla vodka with premium chocolate crème. The poolside location gives the place a laidback, tropical atmosphere in the middle of the city.

Kampung Bena Badjava
Throwback to my trip last year, starting from Labuan Bajo and ending in Ende. One of the destinations I visited was Bena Village, Bena Village is one of the megalithic villages located at the foot of Mount Inerie, East Nusa Tenggara.
Bena Village stands on a wide field. Before entering, tourists are required to pay an entrance ticket of Rp. 25 thousand, and loaned a headband that must be worn by every visitor as one of the conditions for entering the village. There stood approximately 40 houses lined up in a circle.
I also went around the village, and tried to interact with the people there, and captured some moments that I rarely met, such as the community activities there, the houses there, and many more.
I really miss, really want to be able to set foot again in Eastern Indonesia, because there are still many destinations that have not been visited. Not only about the natural wealth that is there, but also about the cultural diversity.

Sweden Travel Stockholm And Karlskrona
Known as the land of Vikings, Sweden is actually an odd mix of cosmopolitan cities and vast stretches of wide-open spaces. For budget travelers, Sweden is a bit expensive.
Stockholm
An incredibly beautiful city in the summer, Stockholm is the Venice of Northern Europe. Like Venice, Stockholm is built on the water with canals and waterways criss crossing the city. Instead of marshland, Stockholm is actually a collection of dozens if not hundreds of little islands.
Despite the beauty, Stockholm can seem a bet sterile for a big city. Large parts of the city seem to be devoted completely to either providing working spaces or residences. With a little digging, however, you’ll find the city has much to offer.

Admiring this beautiful wat
Wat Mixay is slightly smaller than other temples in the neighborhood, but it more than makes up for it with its ornate adornments and design. The temple's bright exterior makes it easy to find, and while inside, take time to admire the temple's many beautiful wall murals illustrating Buddha's teachings.
Perhaps the most rewarding element of Wat Mixay, like some of the city's other smaller temples, is the ambiance - its shady courtyard is a great location to escape the heat and get a glimpse of local life, or speak with one of the welcoming monks about the finer points of the Buddhist faith.

Top 5 Cities To See During A Holiday In China
In my capacity as the UK Director of Operations for One World Tours Limited, one of my jobs is to ensure every client has the best tour possible, so here are my top 5 suggestions for cities to visit in China during your holiday.
1.Shanghai is a magnificent city whose culture changes almost before your very eyes. The City has reshaped itself since the market restrictions have been lifted and offers a new and inspirational atmosphere.
The Bund (Zhongshan Road) has remained virtually unchanged and is instantly recognised as one of the famous landmark waterfronts in Shanghai for many, many years.
There are various temples and gardens within Shanghai, some of them in the past were left unattended which enabled the forces of nature to reclaim them.

Back to basic
There is no better place to stay in Luang Prabang than Sa Sa Lao if you want to get away from the city and experience something different. This is without a doubt the nicest hostel in Luang Prabang for nature lovers.
It's a 2-kilometer walk from the center of town, but tuk-tuks here are inexpensive enough that it won't be an issue. Every day, there is also a free transport into town. There is no better location to unwind than in a lush green garden with a relaxing river as a backdrop. Finally, the dorm room is housed in a lovely bamboo hut complete with wooden accents and mosquito nets.

Irish vibes in Southeast Asia
I've saved the best for last if you're missing a flavor of home. When I visit Vang Vieng, Garys Irish Bar appears to be my first stop. To be honest, nothing beats a good roast and a chip buttie for curing homesickness. This is a favorite hangout for young Western travelers, and they always have good music playing.
The meal is simple, but it is delicious. The guys who work here are always ready for a good laugh, and if you stay long enough, you'll see that this place transforms from a daytime eatery to a full-on bar atmosphere. How could you refuse an Irish Pub in the heart of Laos? You can't, so get yourself here, as well as the other places on this list of where to eat in Vang Vieng.

Ruins of the old French Fort Carnot
Fort Carnot is a massive fort in Huay Xai that was constructed during the French colonial period. It is situated on a gorgeous hillside next to the Governor of Bokeo's main office, and there are two massive towers on display here, which represent the main component of the fort that has survived. The fort had fallen into disrepair and had to close in recent years, but it has since reopened and been cleaned up, making it a worthwhile stop on a tour of Huay Xai. Hiking to this awemazing ruins was just superb. History really speaks for itself.

Back to nature
The Nahm Dong falls and surrounding area are more resort-like than many of Laos' waterfalls, with spectacular natural beauty, buildings from the French Colonial era, and plenty of fantastic things to see and do. There are numerous seating and swimming spots, some of which are suited for families due to their shallowness and mild flow, while the steps to the falls will get the old heart pumping.
Other activities, such as ziplining, are available in the park if you want to fill your day with excitement. If not, find a quiet area and spend the afternoon relaxing, reading or napping.

A rainbow in the waterfall
If riding through a new and exotic country on a rental motorcycle with the wind in your hair sounds like your cup of tea, a trip to Tad Tayicsua in Laos' Champasak Province might be just what the doctor ordered. Most people miss it because of its remoteness and difficulty in getting there, so if you're willing to put in the effort, you'll be rewarded with a stunning waterfall that feels like your own private park. The journey down to the base of the falls is steep and slick and demands a good pair of shoes.

It was a good hike and waterfall hunting
Nam Kat Waterfal is about an hour drive from the town of Oudom Xai in the country's north-central area, just outside the Nam Ha National Bio-Diversity Reserve in Laos' Xiangkhouang Province. It's advisable to hire a guide in town and get a good night's sleep and a hearty meal before heading out, as the climb to the falls and back will take at least a few hours. You may have the falls to yourself, and despite its small size in comparison to other waterfalls, it appears to bloom from the surrounding forest.

The in inviting waters of Tad Sae
Tad Sae, like many other waterfalls across the world, was built over millennia when flowing water carved its way through the surrounding limestone, leaving beautiful cascades and pools. The fall, which is located near Luang Prabang, is easily accessible, making it a popular destination for residents and tourists wishing to get away from the rush and bustle of daily life.
During the dry season, the fall dries to a trickle, but during the rainy season, the enticing water is cool and delightful. There are numerous lounging spaces and seats from which to relax and enjoy the fall foliage in perfect harmony.

Hiking for the second time around here
This is my second visit. The first is during the rainy season, and the second is during the dry summer months. During the rainy season, Kaeng Nyui can become a trickle, but when it rains, it swells into a cascade, plunging from green hills into a rushing mountain river.
Only a jungle track leads to this location, which passes over a rickety rope bridge and gets exceedingly treacherous in wet weather. As a result, don't leave the house without your practical shoes. Vang Vieng is only about 10 kilometers (6 miles) away from the trailhead. Avoid the crowds by arriving early in the day.

Journey to the center of the earth
Vang Vieng is three kilometers away, and Pha Poak is 1.8 kilometers away. The cave is well known for its underground lagoon, where you can swim in complete darkness. Guides at the cave's entrance can teach you how to go to the lagoon, which is roughly a 25-minute walk from the cave's entrance.
We saw a lot of people riding their bikes to the cave entrance and then turning around when they realized the lagoon swim would be in the dark. If you want to hire a guide, add 10,000 kip to the 10,000 kip entrance cost. Follow the route to Pha Poak to get to Lusi Cave. During the rainy season, Lusi Cave is normally closed.

Hiking and rock climbing in Vang Vieng
Vang Vieng is bordered by creepy karst landforms and picturesque limestone outcrops. This means that rock climbing is a popular pastime in Vang Vieng, though you will need some rock climbing experience as well as a strong level of physical condition to do so safely. If you wish to try rock climbing, make sure you do it with one of the town's well-established rock climbing schools. Insist on suitable safety equipment, which you should inspect before beginning your climb.
