The lowest temperature in the middle of Kamikochi forest was 17 degrees, which was extremely cold. The general temperature was 25-28 degrees, which is the best for Thais like us. The weather is very good. Japan can be visited every month. Beautiful in every season.

We took 1 day 1 night around the countryside to explore Cotswold, starting with a night visit to 📍castle combe (picture 2). Embrace the serenity of the small and quiet town.
Spend the night around the area, and I recommend Cirencester for a peaceful and quiet night, before heading out the next day to 📍Bibury (picture 3). Visit 📍lower slaughter (pictures 1 and 6) to see the old mill (picture 1), and even engage in activities such as horse riding down the ancient town (picture 6).
📍Bourton-on-the-water (picture 4 and 5) is a serene small town where you can enjoy the beautiful views and stroll through the shophouses to thrift.
📍Broadway tower (last 2 pictures) is a lone standing castle built on a vast land of green hills. A must visit if you want a taste of the old England countryside.

Aarhus with Den Gamle By, Denmark 🇩🇰
Aarhus is look like a cultural city in Denmark, one place that I’ve visits is The old town Den Gamle By, which is the museum that makes you feel like you are back in the old-school with the Jolly Cola 🥤😎.
I had an original Danish bread, it's called “Smørrebrød”. It's a rye bread topped up with smoky salmon🐟 or beef 🥩. I super enjoyed eating there…and a pork rinds for a snacking time 😋.
You know how to get fat now??! 😁😆
Moreover the Den Gamle By, I walked around the city and found the traffic light 🚦which has a Viking sign that completely meant about Scandinavian culture and history.
What do you think about “it would be good if we have different traffic light 🚦 in different countries which relate to your culture”?

Verona - Old Town
#100waysoftravel
When we visited Verona the weather was sunny ☀️ but cold. My partner and I went there in February. Although it was cold, it was lovely.
When you go to Old Town and walk down the streets you will see a lot of shops. On the square there was a market where you can buy a lot of handmade goodies. We saw handmade soaps, towels and even magnets carved in wood. Of course I had to get the handmade magnet.
