[Hostel Review] Tokyo's First Owl Hotel - Meeting Hachi the Owl at WISE OWL HOSTELS TOKYO

7:39:00 PM
These days there are a variety of accommodations opening up in Tokyo that have very specific points of focus. One of these unique hostels is Wise Owl Hostel Tokyo, where - like you might have guessed - you can actually meet an owl. Hachi the owl is waiting for you in the reception, ready to welcome you along with the rest of the staff. I've visited the hostel a couple of times, and had the pleasure of experiencing the atmosphere there first-hand.

Update: Wise Owl Hostels just opened up their second hostel in the Shibuya area. You can check out their availability here.

The Maldives on a budget: Going local at Himmafushi Island

11:01:00 PM
A typical street on Himmafushi island. The island is not that big so everything is within walking distance, but many of the locals use motorbikes to get around
Local Islands - An Introduction
The history of tourism in the Maldives is rather short; while the first Maldivian resort opened in 1972 it was only as recent as 2009 that the government opened up for the possibility of having guests staying at the local islands. Tourism has grown to become the largest economic industry in the country, and the increasing number of foreign tourists come as a big opportunity for economical revitalisation of the local communities.
The majority of foreign visitors chose to stay at the luxurious island resorts, far from an authentic experience of the real Maldives. My darling Yuma and I very much enjoyed our resort stay in Ellaidhoo, but at the same time we wouldn't have gotten the same unique experience as we did if it weren't for our short stay in Himmafushi at the local guest house Just Surf Villa & Lodge.

[Hotel Review] Lodging in Busan at Mr Egg Hostel

8:24:00 AM


This weekend I'm checking out the Busan area along with my mother and grandmother, who have come to visit me from Norway! We decided to stay cheap, and discovered a place called Mr Egg Hostel located right by the Haeundae (海雲台 ・ 해운대) beach.
It was easy to find; after arriving at Busan station by the KTX we took the metro to Heaundae station and arrived at the hostel after a just couple of minutes of walk.


We were greeted at the hostel by one of the staff members, John, who was very helpful and friendly. He also posed for one of my pictures, haha..
The hostel was nice and clean, and the theme of the whole hostel is egg (surprise, surprise ;p) so you can find a lot of pictures and small egg statues here. You can even use their plastelina clay make your own little eggs. So cute!

For more information and online booking, check out their reservation site.
Finally, I have added some of my pictures of the place, please enjoy ;)
