I visited Panama in the spring of 2022, was very surprised by how modern and built-up it has become. With huge skyscrapers everywhere, it rivals top cities of the world, and also shine with the beauty of its well-developed coastline. These are many top hotel, business parks and large shopping malls in various areas around […]

Expo 2020

This was one of the nicest events I’ve attended, despite having to wear masks during the Covid pandemic (the event actually took place in winter 2021/22 due to delays). Such large Expos take place every 10 years and attract millions of visitors — the last one was in 2010 in China and I attended that […]

The city is nice to see from the […]

I visited this city in the summer of 2022, although I wasn’t to keen to do so given its reputation.

The central area by the river is quite stunning, lined with […]

Monterrey

Was pleased to visit this city which is one of the largest in Mexico and capital of the northern state called Nuevo Leon. Being close to the US border, this business hub seems influenced by modern US architecture and road layouts. Its mountainous setting also gives it some nice scenery and also quite unpredictable weather! […]
