ESPAÑOL

  • I was here: 3 days, from January 11 to 13, 2008.
  • Number of recommended days: if we do not count the day trips, I recommend 2 for the capital, otherwise we will need at least 3 to 4 days.
  • My score: the city I rate it 2/5, but again, if we include the day trips, I go up to 3/5.

When I remember Santiago de Chile, the first qualifier that comes to my mind is that it is a correct/right/wise city, and that is not something good for a tourist to start; when I read in blogs and travel guides about it, it is usually defined as a “cosmopolitan and vibrant” city, and in no case are these negative aspects, but again they reveal a lack.

  • My score: I’m rating it 4/5 because almost everyone I know say it’s a 3, but for some reason I do like it and I’d even rate it 5.

Visited by many as it is a frequent destination of aerial stopovers and appreciated by few, Hong Kong is the oldest of the modern Asian mega-cities. Continue reading “HONG KONG” →

  • We were here: October 17, 2018.
  • Number of days needed: 2. We would gladly have stayed a second day having had more time.
  • My score: 5/5.

It is not that this place is more or less beautiful than Guilin mountains, it is different but equally impressive; if I rate it a bit higher is because there are not as many rice terraces as karst mountains in China. This is simply a lovely site. Continue reading “LONGJI RICE TERRACES (龙脊梯田)” →
