Hidden Lattes and Heritage Walls: The Starbucks You Won’t Believe Exists
#discoverchina #china #hokkien #starbucks #architecturelovers #unique #coffee
Tucked behind carved wooden doors and red-brick corridors, I found it—a Starbucks like no other.
In the heart of Wudianshi, surrounded by Southern Fujian architecture and centuries-old charm, sits a coffee shop that blends the modern with the deeply traditional. Starbucks (Quanzhou Jinjiang Wudianshi Branch) isn’t just a place for caffeine—it’s a visual treat, a surprise waiting behind a preserved tradition building.
The exterior keeps its historic soul: tiled roofs, arched windows, a courtyard echoing with footsteps. Step inside, and you’re sipping your latte under high timber ceilings, where old meets new in perfect harmony. Every corner is insta-worthy—from the stone steps at the entrance to the blend of heritage woodwork and minimalist design inside.
It’s not just about the coffee. It’s about sitting in history, feeling the breeze through the shutters, and realizing that sometimes, the best Starbucks isn’t in a skyscraper—but inside a mansion with stories in its walls.
Wudianshi gives you the past. This Starbucks gives it a shot of espresso.
History from eastern germany: GDR Museum Dabel
If you're in the mood for a unique experience, check out the DDR Museum Dabel! Nestled in the small village of Dabel, this museum is like stepping back in time to East Germany. 🕰️✨ It´s not a spectacular modern museum, it´s more a private exhibition of every day used things!
With around 10,000 exhibits spread across 500 square meters, there's so much to see! From everyday items like food, spices, and hygiene products to quirky collectibles like old cameras and even a DDR gas pump, it’s a treasure trove of nostalgia. You can explore rooms that recreate a typical DDR living space, complete with furniture and decor from the '60s, '70s, and '80s.
What to look out for:
Everyday Life Exhibits: Check out how people lived with items like washing machines and kitchen gadgets from the era.
Kids' Corner: Little ones can play with original DDR toys in a special children’s room.
Unique Displays: Don’t miss the impressive collection of over 600 different schnapps bottles—it’s a sight to behold!
The museum is open from March 31 to October 30, on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays from 12 PM to 5 PM. Plus, there’s a cozy café on-site where you can grab some freshly baked cake or enjoy classic DDR soft serve ice cream. 🍰🍦

Unique experience
They offer breakfast till the noon, great for people who are not morning person but want to have a decent Japanese breakfast. It's a small restaurant that seats 8 pax. You will need a reservation as they don't entertain walk in, unless its not filled up. Rice cooked to perfection, and can be refilled many times. But the first bowl is for sure the best!
You also get to choose the bowl you like for the rice. It’s a pity that we don’t speak Japanese to understand a bit more about the story behind each bowl. Vegetable and miso pork soup are both amazing. Great quality of all the ingredients they use. Price is much higher than what you would normally spend on breakfast or lunch. We ended the meal with a sweet red bean dessert.

Unique art gallery
More than the cafe aspect, the art gallery bit resonated with me. It's location facing the sea, those vast empty spaces, the rustic and concrete appearance of parts. It transports you elsewhere temporarily. Given that this cafe is not as crowded as many other silly options where tourists come in herds or social media enthusiasts try to get pictures done.
This was amongst the most memorable and refreshing of stops in Jeju. I can remember the cool breeze of the sea. The coffee and food we ordered. Another time I came on my own as well. They do have several bakery items, cakes and decent varieties in coffee. Prices are not cheap but at the same time not absurd as popular spots. It's one of my favourite places and i would recommend visiting.

A hearty dose of culture in the moutains.
#chinatrip
China is a massive country. There are so many lesser known and lesser explored provinces. This time I wish to share my thoughts on Yunnan. We visited it during the last spring and it continues to be in my itinerary for the next one.
The best part is that you could even combine it with a visit to northern Vietnam and cross over the land border. It is what we did and started with Kunming, then dali, then Lijiang and finally Shangri-la. The Xinjiang province next door is a hidden treasure and limited to few. Because it has governmental restrictions and requirements for tourists. Which makes it somewhat expensive and exclusive.
But the next best place to get a glimpse of a unique culture and breath taking sights is the province of Yunnan. For those who haven't yet, it is strongly recommended. Look it up, you won't be disappointed. Feel free to ask me for more specific details pertaining to transport of best ways to going about it. #chinatrip #unique #culture #beautiful #mountain #holiday #china

Hiking to Greece's Majestic Meteora✨💫
#timetotravel
📌Meteora, Thessaly, Greece
📍Kalabaka 422 00, Thessaly city
Meteora is a unique area in Greece and quite possibly the world. Situated in the center of Greece, Meteora is a large rock home to breathtaking monasteries that were formed over 30 million years ago.
It is one of the most special places in Greece. Meteora, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed place meaning "suspended in the air," is an eroded rock on which monks have built their monasteries. In Byzantine times, monks had the inspiration to construct monasteries on top of these rocks so that they would be closer to God.
From hiking to paragliding to rock climbing, the area around Meteora is a phenomenal place. There are no more words to say about this place; just book a trip and don't miss seeing several magical sunrises and sunsets too.

Rugged and Beautiful Landscape
📍Zelve Open Air Museum Cappadocia
Zelve Open Air Museum is located only one mile away from Pasabag – Monks Valley. Among with Pasabag – Monks Valley, Zelve is also in the middle of three popular settlements of Cappadocia such as Avanos, Urgup and Goreme. While it is accessible with a nice panoramic walk from Goreme, there are also mutual shuttle busses stopping by Zelve from Avanos and Urgup.
One of the two famous open air museums in Cappadocia. A will preserved historical landmark with beautiful scenery over the many cave houses located inside the rocks. I would recommend comfy shoes and a bottle of water for visiting this place.

A beautiful garden oasis hotel in singapore 🇸🇬
📍Parkroyal Collection Pickering (5 Star hotel ⭐️)
This was our first time staying at Parkroyal on Pickering — We have stayed at the marina bay collection and we loved it hence we wanted to try this one out too.
The room is the Urban Deluxe King 👑 It's really spacious, clean and bright. I love how much natural sunlight gets into the room. The bathroom is both closed and open concept, you just need to move the doors on both end which is really smart.
The bed is very comfy and soft which is amazing we had such a good sleep 😴 The room comes with a filter water tap so no waterbottle is provided which is very sustainable and convenient too.
Since it was my sister birthday they even delivered a cake to our room and it was so yummy 😍🎂
THE POOL is so gorgeous — I love how you could see the beautiful architecture from the pool level, this is also the gym level! I think this is one if the nicer pools I have seen in most hotel's I've been too, they have really cute cabanas around the pool that's perfect for lounging and chilling after a dip! 🌊
The location is very convenient it's about a 5mins walk from chinatown mrt & it's right beside chinatown point too, on the other side across the street about a 10mins walk is clarke quay, telok ayer and raffles place!

The famous and oldest Muar coffee
saikee 434 muar coffee is a must place to visit if you go to muar town. it's a oldest coffee shop. interior design and ambience very fascinated.
once u walked through the door..the coffee aroma so distinctive. We drink coffee to enjoy its unique flavor notes and its rich aroma. Chocolate, caramel, almonds, fruits, and flowers are all evoked when we make a pour over or sip from an espresso...
a cup of coffee served with charcoal toast bread definitely a perfect match.

innovative Cube House in Rotterdam
This line of cubic shape houses called the Cubehouse was built nearly 40 years ago and located in the center of Rotterdam. Each apartment has three levels and is accessed by steep staircase. The interior is cleverly designed and includes all the usual rooms such as bedrooms , kitchen, bathroom, and even an attic to chill out . While all of the apartments are for residential purposes, one of them is opened to visitors as a museum with a small entrance fee of £3.
Definitely one of the must see buildings if you are visiting Rotterdam on an architectural journey. #urbanexplorer #thenetherlands #unique #architecture #rotterdam
Campervanning New Zealand
These extraordinary NZ scenes are forever burned into my mind. This’s the essence of what makes a campervan road trip in NZ such a worthwhile life experience. The feeling of freedom isn’t just a stereotype found in travel novels but it’s real. New Zealand is a truly beautiful and unique country that should be on anyone’s bucket-list.

The Performing Arts Centre Of Taiwan
An iconic building not to be missed is the performing arts center of Taiwan, well I don't even think you will miss this as the surrounding of this place is filled with the many older shops and right smack is a modern looking structure with a 800 seater globe house which is actually the auditorium.
The Performing arts center is open for all to enter, when you head into the building everything looks so high tech yet so clean, with also signages that are really cute and entertaining for the public. I believe the organisation also wanted to make this place something fun and interesting to visit, even the seats are unique too!
Who knows, there might be a concert going on, and you can enjoy a lovely night out at the performing arts centre of Taiwan.

Unique Bar in SG
Mama Diam, along Prinsep Street, is a fun and unique drinking spot in Singapore that will cater to locals and tourists alike.
A hidden speakeasy behind what looks like an old school mama shop, or traditional convenience store in Singapore, the menu is playful and will certainly delight. Cocktails are heavily inspired from local drinks that can be found in the country, such as a milk tea cocktail that comes in a condensed milk can. There’s even one based on the food rojak!
The food offered at Mama Diam is also fun and delicious. Sharing plates of chili soft shelled crab bun, and seafood in lychee balls are a highlight. Definitely a place not to be missed. #foodie #unique

National Library Located In Town
Who says library is a boring place and located only in heartlands outside of town.
There is a library located right in the middle of the town at Orchard Gateway which occupies the 3rd and 4th floor. This library is unique as it is made to look with an artistic feel, also a clean high tech feel. Upon walking inside you will see white curved shelf where it will help the place to look very organised. There will also be walls of magazines place along the walkway entrances with also some sculptures for people who are into art.
I haven't been to the library for sometime, but I've to say there has been certainly a great improvement and plus, this also encourages non readers like myself to visit the library more often.

The Star Vista Mall(Evening Jalan Jalan)
Star Vista is a mall located right beside bouna vista MRT where it is a unique more very different like the other malls in singapore.
The mall itself isn't air conditioned, and promotes eco friendly environment, but of course the shops in the mall are individually air-conditioned. Also if you look around in the mall, there are also many plants located around the mall and the mall extends with a high ceiling where you will see people sitting on the steps right by the foyer enjoying the cool air and also have dinner with friends at the steps instead of in the shops.
This is a uniquely mall in singapore for sure!
