parental leave as it should be

So it happened today that we had to visit a hospital for a chat with a doctor. First of all I am so glad that we got that fancy-shmancy expensive insurance where we don't need to pay anything and it should be handled on its own. 

I reached out to the insurance company in Denmark over email and the...

Oh I 'missed' Vietnam... 

We made it to our last stop in this journey - Hoi An! I forgot how is it when you try to buy something and the price is almost tripple from fair! I don't know how to bargain Alena is a Pro in that! I went out yesterday to get some food for dinner and water. Passing by a k...

Kuala Lumpur

There was also KL in our trip ... or was there? 

We actually spent in KL like amlost 3 full days :) We stayed there because there was no good flight with a short connection from Bali to Da Nang, so we decided to spend 2 days in KL and see friends. Besides the hotel was booked long time ago and was...

Shortly about Bali 

I think it is overhyped! Bali is not worth as a sea-sand-sun destination. If you live in Europe go to Mallorca or Greece. If you live in Asia - go to Phuket for beaches. If you are into culture/religion then Bali is worth visiting. Quite nice mix of things and very many monumen...

In Yogyakarta we stay at the 5start hotel (because we can :) ). To be honest just the breakfast is worth the price we pay for the room. Anyway, the post is not about that. 

Customer service in Indonesia (and in SE Asia in general) is very much in focus. It doesn't matter a hotel is 5 star or 3 sta...

We are in Indonesia! 

Yes, it has been a long stay in Malaysia and we were looking forward to move to a new place. The extra motivation to move was added by the destination place "Royal Ambarrukmo". More about that will be in future post. Now it is about the move. 

First of all thanks to our h...

During our birthdays we have booked a stay in a fancy hotel called Hard Rock Hotel Penang. It is a fancy hotel located in the beach area of the island Batu Ferringhi. Alena is in charge of bookings and she spent some time investigating the hotels. 

To compare we have spent about 3k sek for 1 mon...

It is called Amanville and it suits the needs of the 1y.o baby quite well. Of course it is targetting children which are older, but there is still plenty to do with 1y.o. The entrance for the infants is free (I am not sure till how old, because the person just looked at Alisa and said "FREE"). The...

When we got the car in Malaysia it has a radio station tuned in. It is english speaking radio in Malaysia "Fly FM". It plays pop music english and malay. What caught my ear was the advertisement. They had social ads airing the whole day. Ads about things like don't spend too much money, don't give...

We spend a lot of time in the malls in Georgetown (there are many), because it is hot outside from around 12 to 3-4pm. Malls have a lot of space, many different thing to do (besides shopping) and it is cool (fresh, sometimes too cool).

What i have noticed spending so much time in the malls is the...
