5 FREE Attractions To Visit in London, United Kingdom
Thanks for this guide! Planning my trip there soon :)
In order to save money £, you need to do all your attractions in one or 2 days. Considering there is specific time slot for 3 of your 5 attractions, I wonder how you did that. I agreed to you can save money but you need to rush and ruin your vacation. We are senior and even for 2 days, London pass was not cheaper. Thanks for your video.

It is a challenging but fulfilling hike!
Are the places featured in the video on the landside or airside? is the airside domestic terminal at New Chitose Airport linked to the international terminal? Thanks!

Wanted to ask if it was snowing in November when you went? Especially at mount aso
There wasn’t any snow while we were there
@@oneyearsabbatical Hi, how was the weather at mount Aso? was it rainy? I read that roads could be frozen/icy at high altitude. Did you have winter tires or snow chains prepared? Did you also go Takachiho Gorge? How was the drive?
Interesting
This accent can kill somebody without even knowing it.

Thank for sharing this info . How do you access each of the hell’s place? Is it by bus or walking ?
All the jigokus except the Tatsumaki Jigoku were within walking distance. We rode a bus to get to Tatsumaki Jigoku. Hope you enjoy Beppu as much as we did!
thank you for including a lot of historical info! :) Will be going to Tainan in a few weeks and got more excited from your video!
Thanks. I was planning to do the same in May
Lavender blooms in June and July and is harvested in August
Thanks. Good to know. We will definitely be heading back someday 😊
Hi there! Did you pre purchase the bus ticket from Chiayi to Alishan days before or on the same day?
Yes. We went a few days earlier to the Family Mart at Chiayi train station to pre purchase the tickets. It is recommended to do so as the bus can get really packed.
@@oneyearsabbatical thank you very much for the info! I will only arrive the day before. 😭
You can still try to get the tickets. Good luck ! 👍
@@oneyearsabbatical Thank you! By the way, to get down from Alishan to Chiayi, can I purchase bus ticket at Shizuo? 石棹,
We are not really sure as we went straight to Sun Moon Lake after Alishan.
Nice Video
Taiwan is a great country liberal and democratic.😃
Tx 👍
brother you should try to add more cinematics
Thanks for watching and for the feedback. We are always looking for ways to improve our video 👍
Thank you for this video! We really want to go check this place out next year. When you took the ferry over to Sakurajima, did you happen to see any cats walking around the island? In previous videos there were cats.
Hi, yes! You should check out Sakurajima. It’s a very nice place. We don’t remember seeing any cats on the island😅
@@oneyearsabbatical I rewatched your video and there was indeed a cat bathing itself when you two were in the foot baths. Thank you so much for the tips too.
Great Video My wife and I are travelling to London soon after having visited the city twice over the last couple of years. We have had a Thames river trip and been on the cable car and have seen many of the ‘free’ tourist sites. Many other sites though are very expensive, but a friend suggested The London Pass, which I had never heard of before. It seems quite a good deal, as long as you are willing to visit as many attractions as possible on each day. Regards from Whitley Bay
How much the cost for staying 4days?
The hotel we stayed at costed us NT$1300 per night☺️
Hey there, I am planning a similar trip in early April this year. Could you please let me know from which place in Isahaya did you rent the car? thank you.
Hello! We rented our car from Nippon Rent a Car online website and we picked it up at their Isahaya JR station West Exit branch. Enjoy your trip!
Hello . I am Tolga, the manager of Hiera Coffee Tea House. I saw your video just by chance and I am writing to you immediately. I am very glad that you shared our restaurant in your valuable video and that you were generally satisfied with our business. I hope your UA-cam channel reaches better places. I will continue to follow you. If you visit Pamukkale again, we would love to welcome you again. We are trying to improve our quality every day. I hope we will have the opportunity to host you better on your next visit. I wish you success and luck in your UA-cam channel and life. Hoping to see you again, goodbye.
Hi Tolga, thanks for your well wishes! They really mean a lot to us. We were really blown away by the service and hospitality when we dined at your restaurant. It is certainly one of the best (if not the BEST) restaurant we dined at on our Europe trip! The cotton castle and your restaurant are the top two things we always recommend people visit if they ask us for advice on things to do at Pammukale. We certainly hope we will get another opportunity to visit Pammukale in the future and we will certainly drop by your restaurant again when we do!
Thank you for this video 😊
Will Sun moon lake dry up in April end? Few news from last year mentioned so.. What was your experience? Also, how much time you spent in Wenwu Temple?
Hi! There was still water in the lake when we visited it last April but it was at a lower level. It didn’t impede us from enjoying the lake though. We spent about an hour at the Wenwu Temple.
Thank you for this video. It is very helpful when I am planning our visit to the island this summer.
Thanks for watching. We are glad the video helped you☺️
👍
May i know how long you takes to walk the whole LuGang ? Thank you
Hi! We only stayed a day there
Woohoo Alishan was fantastic! Thanks to your info in this video!
I'll be visiting the island at the end of Feb this year and am so excited. Your video was great I added a few must-do items to my list based on your video!
Glad that you found the video useful. Hope you have a great time there! 😊
@@oneyearsabbatical One other question I do have - do you think one overnight is enough for the island?
2 days 1 night should be sufficient. But we recommend to stay 2 nights if you want to explore the island leisurely.
What month did you go? Thanks!
We went during April
Hi!!! When was this?? What month?? I saw a cherry blossom around 7/11 and i wanna know if i can see cherry blossom around 1st week of april
We were there on the first week of April. Hope that you are able to see the cherry blossom too!
Scotland yeah !!!
If Luxembourg is rich, why don't people want to live there?
It might be because the housing there is very expensive. So we read that most people commute there to work from neighbouring countries.
