Aura Hotel, Wellington, NZ

Chocolate Hills
My first visit to Bohol, Philippines was only last year 2008. The place is famous because of its beautiful sceneries and one of these is the Chocolate Hills. Not just a few but 1,268 cone-shaped hills of almost the same sizes. Covered by green grass that turns …
Dachau Germany
The summer after my senior year in high school, I had the chance to travel to Germany and visit Dachau, Germany. This was a very sobering experience for me. No one can truly see what a concentration camp was like until they visit one for themselves. …
Jing’An Temple
Located near the heart of Shanghai, interestingly enough, this is an active temple. It’s a cozy little break away from the city with its high thick walls to try and break away from the roaring traffic outside. It almost succeeds in this task as well. Compared …
Lonely Beach Ko Chang Thailand

Star Tours, Hollywood Studios, WDW

Trip to Tachileik, Myanmar

Mars Alam
Mars Alam wasn’t at all what I expected, The franco rosso hotel was acceptable, it had 3 big pools a marvelous beach but no reef whatsoever. The scuba-diving was a bit sub-par, the colors were a bit more vivid but there wasn’t much too see.
Secondly, if your into ‘the …
Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks
My visit to Sequoia National Park still remains close to my heart. The solace and refresh that the giant trees, snow clad mountains and the mysterious silence offer here are simply rejuvenating. After my trip my mind got a very good feel.

Llandudno Pier, Llandudno, Wales
The seaside resort of Llandudno on the north coast of Wales is well known (and in my opinion deservedly so) for its delightful, and slightly old-fashioned, holiday atmosphere, making it perfect for families. One of the things that contribute greatly to this feel is the town’s traditional Victorian pier, …
