10 Things to do in Pula, Croatia Travel Guide Video Transcript: (Pola)
Pula was our first introduction to Croatia and what a way to start! Located on the Istrian peninsula, this seaside town is home to Roman ruins, ancient temples, and some delicious pizza. The town won us over right from day one, so in this video, we’re going to take you on a tour of Pula and show you some of the highlights:
The amphitheatre was built during the reign of Emperor Vespasian, at the same time the Colosseum in Rome was going up. What’s even more shocking is how well preserved it is; this is the only remaining Roman amphitheatre with all four side towers and three stories still standing.
As a travel tip, if you visit during the summer months, you can catch numerous events at the amphitheatre, including concerts, movie screenings, and even reenactments of games from Ancient Rome.
When it comes to boat tours, the most popular destination is , a group of small islands that sit out on the Adriatic Sea.
The islands have a few archaeological and cultural sites but though admission to the park used to be free, these days you have to join one of the official excursions arranged by the park or local tourist agencies.
As for Pula Cathedral, it turns out it was closed when we tried to visit, so we can only show you the outside.
After all that wandering around town, it was finally time for lunch. We arrived at Jupiter Pizzeria just as they were opening and didn’t waste any time grabbing a seat on their outdoor terrace.
The fortress we spotted turned out to be Pula Castle, also known as Kaštel. Located atop a hill right in the centre of Pula, this fortress was built by the Venetians during the 17th century.
Admission was 20 kuna per person and there were two different museums exhibits to visit, however, we’d argue that the main draw are the views.
Over the course of the centuries, the Temple of Augustus has seen many uses from a Christian church to a grain storehouse, but at present, it houses a very small 1-room museum – and when we say small, we mean you can visit in 5 minutes!
The Roman Mosaic is just a short walk from the Forum, so it’s worth the little detour down back streets. This incredible well-preserved floor depicts the Punishment of Dirce, which is straight out of Greek mythology.

Hotel Bajondillo - Torremolinos/Spain
U ovom videu vam predstavljamo hotel Bajondillo u Torremolinosu (u Španiji). Hotel se nalazi na obali mora i svi apartmani imaju pogled na more. Pogled sa terase je fantastičan, a posebno u jutarnjim satima kada Sunce tek izlazi.
Sobe su pretežno apartmanskog tipa i dobro su opremljene. Poseduju malu čajnu kuhinju potpuno opremljenu neophodnim posudjem, kao i šporet sa ravnom pločom.
Imaju TV, telefon, kao i besplatan i dobar wi-fi.
Naravno, svaka soba ima i opremljeno kupatilo.
Osoblje je vrlo ljubazno i predusretljivo.
Doručak je još jedna stvar zbog koje treba doći u ovaj hotel. Izbor hrane je fantastičan, hrana je vrlo ukusna, kvalitetna i sveža. Nije bilo nezadovoljnog gosta ovakvim doručkom.
Pored svega navedenog, hotel nudi i korišćenje parkinga, korišćenje ležaljki, korišćenje knjiga iz biblioteke, bazen, stoni tenis, večernji program.
Deluje da i gosti jako vole ovaj hotel, jer kada smo mi bili - u periodu pred sezone, u aprilu, kapaciteti su bili jako dobro popunjeni.
U svakom slučaju, ako vas put nekada nanese u ove krajeve, imate našu preporuku da odsednete u ovom sjajnom hotelu.

Kushikatsu & the JUICIEST Chicken in Osaka?!!
► Check out my Osaka Food Guide for details on restaurants in these videos:
On Day 11, we were back in Osaka after a quick trip to Kyoto, and we woke up to do some sightseeing, and to eat some more delicious Japanese food in Osaka.
00:23 Shitennoji Temple - To start our day in Osaka, we first headed over to the Shitennoji Temple, one of the oldest and most well known temples in Osaka. We walked around for a few minutes, but unfortunately the lookout point that I wanted to see was under construction, so couldn’t go inside, but it was still nice to visit.
2:19 Kushikatsu Daruma (串カツだるま) - The area of Shinsekai in Osaka is known throughout the city for a Japanese food called kushikatsu, a homegrown Osaka creation. One of the most famous restaurants is Kushikatsu Daruma (串カツだるま), and since there was no line, we decided to give it a try. I didn’t think I was going to like kushikatsu all that much, but I have to admit that it was pretty good - all sorts of deep fried items on stick, with a delicious dipping sauce.
7:08 Sumiyoshi Taisha (住吉大社) - After kushikatsu and walking around the Shinsekai area for a while, we caught the tram to Sumiyoshi Taisha (住吉大社) temple. One of the most famous things there is the bridge, which was beautiful. I would highly recommend visiting Sumiyoshi Taisha (住吉大社) when you visit Osaka, Japan.
9:32 Conveyor belt sushi - For lunch we headed back to Osaka and to Namba Station, and we had a quick meal at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant. Plates were 129 JPY, and overall it was good. I think most people go for the quick sushi, and it’s pretty fun.
12:18 Dotonbori (道頓堀) - After doing some work back at our apartment for a few hours, we headed back out into Osaka, and did some walking around and sightseeing at Dotonbori (道頓堀), one of the most famous area of Osaka.
12:56 Osaka Ohsho - King of Gyoza - Before having dinner, we had a plate of gyoza at Osaka Ohsho - King of Gyoza, right in Dotonbori, which was pretty good.
14:05 Ikkaku (一鶴 心斎橋店) - For dinner we headed to a restaurant called Ikkaku (一鶴 心斎橋店), right in the Shinsaibashi area. They specialize in chicken, and they have both old and young chicken which you can choose from. We got both types of chicken, and I think the young chicken might have been the juiciest chicken in Osaka. It was amazing, a bit salty, but incredibly flavorful.

Narisawa Tokyo - An Incredible Dining Experience
Narisawa is one of the leading modern restaurants in the world, and when I was in Tokyo, it was an honor and a truly memorable experience to eat here.
Yoshihiro Narisawa is the head chef and owner of Narisawa, one of Asia’s best restaurants and a two Michelin star restaurant in Tokyo. His personal philosophy of cooking and serving food is strongly related to nature and the world we live in. He derives much of his inspiration from nature and natural landscapes, and he changes his menu and his creations according the seasons of Japan. We had the Winter Collection 2014 menu, and beginning from the very course of our meal, I could clearly see the chef’s passion and his love for both food and respect of nature.
We began our meal with a dish called, Evolve with the Forest, which literally looked like a small forest on my plate, and it was even served on a slab of wood, which gave it a nice touch. The salad included a scene that really looked like a lush forest. After our first course, we then moved onto a dish called “Bread of the Forest 2010,” which was a batter that was added to a scorching hot earthenware pot to and sort of steamed and baked at the same time. After cooking for a while, the bread came out in little buns. It sort of reminded me of a steamed Chinese bun, but with more fruity tones and flavors. Both the bread and the presentation at Narisawa were fantastic. Another amazing thing was even the butter was coated in a dark colored crumblings and something that looked like moss so it really took on a forest look.
One of the specialities of chef Yoshihiro Narisawa is his soil soup, a dish that he literally makes from the soil that he gets from Okinawa. It really did have a soil flavor to it, but at the same time it really worked - it was extremely earthy, and just tasted so natural, yet so good at the same time. One of my favorite courses of the meat was the “Langoustine from Suruga Bay,” a beautiful langoustine, similar to a small lobster, but I think it is actually a type of crayfish. The meat of the langoustine at Narisawa was unbelievable, so succulent and the meat was incredibly sweet as well. It literally melted in my mouth. Next we had a course of “Ash 2009” Scene of the seashore,” which was an entire squid topped in a sauce literally made from ash of the seashore. I don’t even begin to know how he made it, but both the squid and the sauce was incredible. The sauce was again, earthy and rich, and just so well done.
Next up at Narisawa Tokyo we enjoyed a seafood soup of a few different types of seafood, another just marvelous dish with extremely high quality ingredients. Next was a “Spanish mackerel, Hagi-Buckwheat-Root vegetable,” The highlight of the mackerel was how it was smoked in a glass cover, and it had the most amazing smoky flavor, maybe I’ve ever had. Next up we had “Monk fish from Ishikawa,” and again it was stunning - the fish was great quality and it was so buttery.
While everything I ate at Narisawa Tokyo was stunning, no other dish made me as excited as the “Sumi 2009” Kobe beef.” The beef was cooked by spooning hot olive oil over it for 30 minutes, so just the outside had a char to it while the inside meat was so pure and melted in my mouth like no other piece of meat ever had.
Note: This video was filmed and edited back in March of 2014. The menu has likely since changed, but the amazing cuisine and skills of the chef have not.
I didn’t pay for this meal myself, I was sponsored by Chowzter.com ( of which I’m the Bangkok representative. Thank you to Chowzter and to Chef Yoshihiro Narisawa for this extremely memorable meal.

Nikko, Japan | Things to do on your Tokyo Sidetrip to Nikko (Travel Guide)
Nikko is one of the more beautiful places we have visited in Japan. Famous for its heritage sites and breathtaking mountains, it is also known for the many onsens built around the hot springs that dot the area.
About a 2-hour train ride from Tokyo, Nikko is the perfect destination for travelers who want to see a more rural side of Japan.

First Things First
We stayed at the Tobu Hotel Lavant Tokyo for a day before heading to Nikko.
The nicest part was waking up to an unobstructed view of the Tokyo Skytree which was pretty awesome.
The breakfast buffet was nice, with choices between Western and Japanese.
Visit the Skytree
Since it was so near, we went to check out the Tokyo Skytree, one of the city’s most iconic landmarks and tourist attractions. Reaching up to 634 metres (2,080 ft), the Skytree is the second tallest man-made structure in the world after the Burj Khalifa.
The tower is connected to Skytree Mall with shops and restaurants you can visit before heading up the tower.
There are two observatories, one at 350 m (1,150 ft) and the other at 450 m (1,480 ft). A glass covered skywalk, which gives visitors the most stunning view of Tokyo, encompasses a spiral walkway.
The best time to visit is right before sunset. You can watch the streets below come to life in a symphony of lights that is absolutely breathtaking.
Welcome to Nikko
The best way to get to Nikko is via train, which you can catch from Asakusa Station. The trip is around 2 hours.
If you want a bit of privacy, opt for a cabin. You can take in the rural scenery while making chitchat with your companions.
The Tobu Railway, which is the primary line in Nikko, stops at various destinations throughout the region.
Nikko is a rather large mountainous locality approximately 140 km north of Tokyo. Two large rivers pass directly through the city proper, and there are a number of falls and hot springs in the area.
Nikko is mostly known for its onsens that have been built around the various hot springs. Nature attractions and world heritage sites are also major draws for tourists.
The Japanese visit Nikko during holidays and weekends, especially during winter when the hot springs can be best enjoyed.
Toby World Square
When visiting Nikko, we recommend stopping by the Tobu World Square.
It’s a miniatures theme park with replications of various world landmarks and heritage sites. There is a close to ‘It’s a Small World After All’ feel about the park but without that dreaded theme song.
The miniatures are extremely detailed, and they look amazing! The trees are actual banzi’s that bring the installations to life.
There are a handful of restaurants at the park. We opted for the Japanese restaurant.
A delicious hot bowl of soba noodles to counter the chilling weather outside was the way to go plus a shot of hot sakê, of course.
Edo Wonderland
Probably the best part of our short stay in Nikko, Edo Wonderland is a breathing, living, Edo period village that gives guests the chance to experience life during the heyday of Shoguns and Samurai.
There are a number of activities and attractions to see, but the coolest thing is being able to rent Kimono’s to wear around the park. Prices vary depending on the class and style of the kimono, for instance, a Shogun’s Kimino will cost more than that of a Samurai or Commoner. The staff also address and respond to you based on your attire, which helps you immerse in the experience.
Me failing horribly at trying to play the Shamisen, a traditional Japanese 3-string instrument.
Kamakura Snow Festival
From December to March, Nikko receives snowfall. What takes place during this time of the year is a local festival known as the Yunishigawa Kamakura Festivial where many of the establishments use the freshly fallen snow to build Kamakura. This is a type of igloo or snow house where guests can hangout, take pictures and even enjoy local snacks.
Make sure you visit the festival during day time. The various shops and cafes are closed in the evening.
Time to Relax
Nikko is most famous for its mountainside onsens and spas. There are a number of hotels in the area which cater to visitors who come to Nikko to experience the hot springs during winter.
We checked in to Hana To Hana, one of the better known onsens in the area. The staff were all friendly; and the food, exceptional even by Japanese standards.
The rooms are traditional Japanese style. Ours had a fantastic view of the river from the window.
There are two onsens in the hotel—a stone one which, unfortunately, we were unable to shoot due to guest and hotel regulations and another smaller wood-style one (pictured above), which they were kind enough to let us take a picture of.
Breakfast and dinner are included with your stay at Hana To Hana which is a plus. To be honest, the Yakiniku style dinner was the best meal we’ve ever had in Japan.
