Sydney, Australia (14 – 21 May 2018) – Day 3

16 May 2018: Today, we were on the road trip from Sydney to Wollongong. I did not know that Australia has such beautiful beaches. The sea is so blue, the wave is so strong (no wonder they like to surf). The sun is bright and hot but the cold wind literally blew the hotness away. The sand is clean, by the way Australian really took care of their environment! Salute!

Helensburgh, Australia

I was so excited that I forgot to take photo of the beautiful view and had to put this photo of me with the view instead.

Siem Reap, Cambodia (Soul Searching) 22-Nov-2017 – Day 01

Not like any other trip before, this was a spiritual trip for me. Trying to get back to reality of life before it took away my senses.

Day 01 – Landed in Siem Reap airport. Taking a tut-tut ride is at least one-time MUST in Cambodia. Experiencing tasting the dust on our face and mouth.

Tips While you are booking your hotel online, you can asked for the hotel to arrange pick-up. you can save about US$5 here!

20171121_151722

Tut-tut

If you ask me about ONE advise, I would say be cautious of  what you eat. Please be very cautious of the food consumed, especially those street foods. It might look delicious but the hygiene are questionable. Bring along some medicine just in case you contracted food poisoning.

If it is not getting any better, please go to the “reputable” hospital. Don’t think about the money you are going to save.

Shell marinate with salt and chili

This kind of old fashion market hardly can be found in the city. Most likely, next 30 years these kind of markets will no longer existed.

La Plantation, Kampot, Cambodia (11-06-2016)

If you like nature, you should visit pepper farm; La Plantation in Kampot, Cambodia. It is about three hours drives from Phnom Penh to Kampot. The road can be bumpy.

20160611_132956

They do have a guide who speak good English to tell you about organic pepper farm.

20160611_134252

That’s me enjoying the view of pepper farm.

20150502_094728a

Going to Disney like going back to time, being a kid again.

Touchdown at the HKIA airport ! Hong Kong 4 Days 3 Nights (Day 1)

Well, to take taxi, train or bus? This is the question that everybody ask during their holiday. This time, I bet on MTR (train)! Yup, it was the right bet. As soon as you step out from the plane, their was a MTR ticket counter, just asked from the assistance and they were very helpful. By the way, their English were almost like “kuai-low” (Englishmen).

This time I will be staying at Hyatt Regency Hotel, Sha Tin

After reaching Nam Cheong, change train again to Hung Nom (if you don’t know, got to the information counter, very easy).

I thought my hotel was in Sha Tin, I got out from their and asked at the information counter, the person just told me that I need to go two more stations at University!

Passed him the ticket, pay add HK2.20150501_185738a

Once reached University, I found this vending machine selling cartridges. 20150501_194001a
