After finishing my studies, I worked for a travel agency. Now, I am a travel writer. Exploring new cultures and discovering the unknown has become integral to my life. I’ve come to realise that for some, like me, travel is not just a leisure activity, but a necessity.

Some people can’t imagine life without alcohol, and some can’t imagine life without a car. I happen to need neither of those things, but I happen to need to travel. That’s probably what I’m going to talk about today.

Well, for now, I need to have lunch! In the Yotsuya-Sanchome area in Tokyo, I visited Sun Kee, a popular Hong Kong noodle shop.
