'Niseko', ‘Rusutsu’ or ‘Tomamu’ Which one? Hokkaido is one of the top Winter destinations for many families. Travellers come from all over the world to experience a white winter filled with ‘Jap Pow’ – the famous fine powder-like snow in Hokkaido. Top among the ski resorts in Hokkaido are Niseko Village, Grand Hirafu, Rusutsu and Tomamu. Since we have many readers writing in to ask which is the ‘best’ place to ski, we have summarized our recommendations of 3 resorts which we've stayed in this … [Read more...]
Shangri-La Hotel Singapore – Themed Family Suite Review
“ A family staycay at Shangri-La?” I asked my wife in disbelief. “ Yes, THE Shangri-La, you know, the one at Orange Grove Road. They have recently launched themed family suites! WAll Postse can choose to stay in a castle room, a tree-top room, a spaceship room, an underwater room or a safari themed room...” My scepticism that this iconic world-class hotel (which is more well-known for hosting foreign dignitaries) would offer themed family rooms (to cater to kids and families) was … [Read more...]
Ways To Maximize Free & Easy Holiday Trips
As working parents who love to travel with our kids, it's essential that we try to maximize every holiday trip. Our annual leave is limited, our disposable income is limited and having to coordinate with our kids' holiday schedule is another tall order. So, whenever we can, we try to travel free and easy because it offers us flexibility to fully experience a country according to our pace, budget and needs. This is especially important because young kids tend to get impatient during long … [Read more...]
BUDS by Shangri-La, Singapore
Another Hotel ‘Kids’ Club’? No. Far from it. Buds by Shangri-La Hotel Singapore sets the benchmark. We are no strangers to hotels with Kids Club facilities. Although we love travelling with our kids, like many parents, there are moments we crave for some private time or just 1 quiet meal together. This is why hotels with Kids’ Club appeal to us. For many hotels though, the idea of a Kids Club is confining kids to a room filled with lego bricks, board games, a video console, a … [Read more...]
Rusutsu Resort – Best of Hokkaido, Under One Roof
A Chance Encounter With a 2-Storey Carousel We first stepped into Rusutsu Resort by chance. During our Hokkaido trip in Dec 2016, we took the airport shuttle bus from Niseko en-route back to New Chitose Airport, and it made a quick stop at this resort to pick up passengers. We took the chance to come down and stretch our legs but what greeted us left us awestruck – a two-storey high carousel (free for in-house hotel guests) complete with a warm, inviting, almost Disney-like ambience. I … [Read more...]

Novotel on Stevens: An Oasis in the City
“This is Singapore?” Looking around me as I swam to the edge of the infinity pool, one could easily mistake this city hotel as one found in one of our regional countries. Tucked among the lush greenery at the edge of Bukit Timah and in the Orange Grove precinct is one of Singapore’s newest hotel that is, well, so near yet so nicely far. To mark its official opening, we were invited to a short 1-night stay at the Novotel Singapore on Stevens after work on the last Friday of the year. And … [Read more...]
Crowne Plaza, Copenhagen Towers
Doing a DIY trip can be quite unnerving, especially so with young lively kids and to a far flung cities. Even though DIY trips give us greater control over the itinerary and potentially cost-savings, whenever we plan a DIY trip, we look out for good, affordable accommodation that can provide us with just that little bit of extra comfort. This was our 2nd time visiting the Danish Capital (the first was with an organised tour group to Scandinavian in June 2016), and we've … [Read more...]
DIY Iceland: Self-Drive Tips
“Should we self-drive in Iceland? Or should we just follow a tour?” “How is the drive like? Is it dangerous?” “What car should I drive?” "Was it easy to self-drive in Iceland?" "Which car rental company did you rent from?" We've been receiving these queries (both on FB as well as through IG) from our readers since we shared our Iceland itinerary so I reckon it warrants a post. Brief Background: I’m a driver with a good safety record. I’ve been driving for almost 30 years … [Read more...]
