I love Melbourne with all my heart. But, and I say this with love, this city is whack.

Sometimes, it doesn’t matter how much intense prep work you do for your trip. You’ll read blogs, you’ll watch YouTube videos, you’ll ask friends—but none of it will match up to experiencing it yourself for the first time and ending up 45 minutes in the opposite direction of your intended destination.

Disclaimer: Most of these I find whack simply because I grew up in a wildly different environment. If you’re a born-and-raised Melburnian, chances are you won’t find any of these out of the ordinary at all.

1. Tram stops are in the middle of the road

There is something about exiting the crosswalk mid-way that feels so counterintuitive. And it certainly does not help directionally-challenged individuals like myself either.

That said, I developed a completely rational fear of taking the tram, and in my first three months, travelled around via Uber almost exclusively.

Located in the prestigious KL Sentral, The St. Regis Kuala Lumpur is set in one of the most romantic neighbourhoods in the city.

Boasting sweeping views of the vibrant capital, Lake Gardens and key landmarks like the National Museum and House of Parliament, the panoramic view is just one of the many reasons why couples want to get wed at this venue.

Its chic interiors, plush furnishings and classy ambience are perfectly accompanied with graceful service, pampering treatments and exquisite cuisine.

Here’s what’s in store for you at The St. Regis Kuala Lumpur for your big day.

After months of hectic wedding planning, it is easy to see why the serenity and simplicity of an island beach honeymoon is alluring to newlyweds.

The exclusiveness alone makes a peaceful paradise for relaxation and indulgence. Accompanying honeymooning guests are calm sea waters, light ocean breeze and soft sandy beaches.

It’s reminiscent of a paradise on earth, and surprisingly, the Maldives is not the only place to find these gems.

If you’ve done even the slightest amount of research for your first trip to Bangkok, you would’ve heard about Chatuchak Weekend Market by now.

Renowned for being the go-to tourist attraction in Bangkok, the market houses an impressive 15,000 stalls and 11,505 vendors.
