Tuk-tuk public transport, Bangkok
As foreign tourists, we were not sure to use the city bus in Bangkok which was normally very crowded, while taxis were certainly expensive. Therefore, the choice fell on the tuk-tuk, the three-cycle vehicle. Our first experience with the tuk-tuk was, however, not very good. Recently right after we …

Auckland Zoological Park
The Auckland Zoo is a little out of the city and easy to get to. I caught a bus there and it only took me fifteen minutes from the city.
The first thing about the zoo is it is a bit pricey for what you are paying for. …
ASIN Hot Springs
Virtually unknown to many tourists, Baguio has hot springs. Real sulfuric hot springs actually. It was my eldest brother who discovered the place in one of his ‘around-baguio-jeepney-ride’. There’s a jeepney (cheapest and most popular public transportation in the Philippines) terminal in Session Road going to Asin, so this …
City of Nara, Japan
It is a small but beautiful town in Central Japan. We needed around 50 minutes to travel from Osaka by train. Many friends of mine suggested me to visit as many temples and shrines as possible, as most of good ones are located there. But as my son does not …

Legoland Windsor
We saw a couple of adverts for Lego Land Windsor on TV recently and decided that we would see what it was like. To this end I checked the website and was very impressed with what I saw. The website was very detailed and not only did …
Long Beach, California
Long Beach, California is a great place to go, and yes I’m going to be pretty biased here in regards to this city. Not because I’m from this city, or even because I ever loved there. But all because I love the beach, and if I’m by a beach …

Washington DC
While traveling to Washington D.C. may not be an ideal trip for those who truly despise traffic and a city atmosphere, it is certainly an experience that every person should have atleast once in their life. See that nation’s Capital Building, take a tour of the White House, …

South Africa Two Oceans Aquarium
As expected of any tourist, I visited some places when I was in Cape Town. In particular, as I had 2 kids in tow who need to be amused and a husband who did not want to be dragged to the shops, one of the unanimous choices we picked …
Brazil Corcovado (Trem de Corcovado)
When I was in high school, I fell in love with the Brazilian samba even if I had no clue at all what the words meant. I just love its soothing rhythm, the mellow and calm voice of Joao Gilberto. One of the songs I really loved up …
Dominican Hill
Dominican Hill attracts only a select group of people; the ghost hunters. Not many tourists venture into Dominican Hill, much less enter the dilapidated building. There is much history behind this place. It used to be a vacation house for Dominican Friars, was turned into a school, became a …

First, it is very easy to get …
Anaheim, CA
Anaheim, CA is a pretty amazing place to go and visit. The first thing that I noticed is the weather is much better then what I deal with everyday in Texas. Although I do have to admit it isn’t that hard to beat the heat, and humidity that Texas …
Mahe Island Seychelles
This was another beach holiday I like to remember. As we are in Africa at the moment, we felt that it would easier to go from this continent rather than from elsewhere. The flight from Johannesburg took only about 6-7 hours and for me, this was reasonable. We …
Stratford-upon-Avon
Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire is understandably best known to most people outside the United Kingdom - and in truth, probably best known to many people in the country as well - for being the birthplace of William Shakespeare. I do not
have anything in particular against the Shakespeare industry the town …

Malaysia Highways
I am a loyal road user to Damansara-Puchong Express Highway (DPEH). I use it to commute during my college years till now while commuting to work.
The toll rate at the introduction of the highway if i can remembered was way back in 2000 with RM1.00 @ USD 0.25 per …
Jal Mahal
The location of Jal Mahal is very near to Amer Fort and about 4 km away from Jaipur. This famous palace (Jal Mahal means the —˜palace of water’) among Indian people is no more than an old and not well maintained building for me. From some leaflets and websites, …
Red Rock Canyon
Living in the desert, there are few places that I believe stand out from the usual barren hills or sandy dune or even an odd mountain or two. It’s kind of like saying which is better, the Pacific or the Atlantic Oceans? Well, they’re both bodies of water and it’s …
Eiffel Tower
Eiffel Tower is in France, definitely. There were a couple of times that I have been to this amazing tower and the views were so amazingly cool. If you ask me, I am especially attracted to the night-time display and the general appearance of the whole tower.

Lonely Beach Ko Chang Thailand
Weeks before Christmas, forced to flee the cold, terrible weather of a wintery Korea, I hopped a flight to Thailand. After a long cab ride, an even longer bus ride, a bumpy ride in the back of a pick-up truck, the slowest ferry I’ve ever been on, and a …
