Miscalculated my timing (wanted to go during sunset hence choosing 5pm, but it was winter when the sunset was already from 4pm-ish 😂). Nonetheless, the night view was breathtaking!

It was a smooth travel, thanks to Joseph the guide. Very windy with quite some rain, but I still had a good time.

It's a very well arranged trip. Love all the spots that we visited. Allan, the tour guide, is also a great storyteller. I learned and enjoyed the trip!

What a fab play! It went beyond my expectation. The music + dance + stage + costume + makeup + act are superb.

I'm glad I made a reservation in advance because I was able to enter easily just by showing the voucher. I had a seat in the rear orchestra, but it was right next to the aisle, so it was fun to see the cast walking by. Even though I don't understand English, the singing, dancing, costumes, and set were wonderful, and I was able to see an authentic musical, so it was a great memory.

I went there at night and the view was amazing. I could see the Empire State Building right in front of me, it was very glittering and I could see it in 360 degrees, it was an unforgettable memory. However, it was very windy and very cold, so you need to be careful about what you wear.
