I joined a group of geologists to explore the vulcanos on Bali and Java. Between this serious work I enjoyed the beautiful country of Indonesia. First we had a group of 8 people, later on 3 girls joint us and we did the rest of the tour with 11 people. One of my last days on Java, I really felt the earth moving. It WAS a minor earthquake.

Still with so many issues to address, I left the office before 9pm to prepare for this abrupt trip. I met Mike near his place and we took cab going to Masjid Jamek to meet Ria, which was already waiting at One Cafe Restaurant. Since we still have enough time before midnight, we decided to take our …

I live here.. But still exploring this place!

Our Cathay Pacific flight on Boeing 777-300 was half full and so we had enough space. The service and food was really excellent. A really recommendable airline (according to skytraxx --> 5-star-airline).Flight duration was arround 3 and a half hour. Weather during arrival in Hong Kong was bad. R…

Thanks to the very convenient MRT, we managed to see quite a few places although we only spent 1 night in Singapore.. I really liked Chinatown, Esplanade & Clarke Quay!

Once again, we booked an early flight to go back to Singapore, in order to get the most out of the day. Our speedboat left Phi Phi at 6.30am. Our flight from Phuket was at 9.50. We arrived in Singapore around 12.30. This time losing an hour because of time zone change. Once again, Changi airport wa…

It was a pretty relaxing day today. Again it was really hot, so we took a trip to the lovely air conditioned shopping centre and we bought our dvds.  The rest of the day was pretty much spent by the pool, swimming and relaxing. That night we went out for dinner, and made our way the famous Ra…

Departure Day, so it was sort out the suitcase and pack the necessary in the hand luggage. Once done, luggage stored at the hotel for a 7.30pm pick up and the bill settled it was time not to waste my final day of the hols. I wandered back to Chinatown with a view to catching the MRT to a bird sanc…

Christmas Light up in Singapore.

This trip was actually a complimentary to several Jakarta Media Agencies worker held by a media vendor (can't be named here, sorry), so basically we don't have to spend any money at all for the trip and anything in it, so I guess I'm just one of the lucky damn bitch. We were taking the 1st SQ fligh…

    My own humble set of tips:1. General Rule - take the train; Singapore has a highly-developed rail system that takes you almost anywhere from the airport.  So before leaving for Singapore - download and print the map of all its stations.2. Buy the EZ-Link card to take the tra…

As I set out I was just going to find somewhere for some breakfast but everytime I turned a corner I though I would have a little more of a look around. The morning went fas and I was meet Derek in the afternoon so I went  to pick up my tickets, just had to find an MRT. So getting my map out f…

We flew off for Tokyo on 11 Jan 2006 and returned to Singapore on 15 Jan 2006. Upon arrival at Narita International Airport on 12 Jan 2006 morning, we made our way to Owakudani Boiling Valley to enjoy the scenic views and feel the rolling steams from the valley. Along the way, we travell…

Ok, so my time in Singapore was limited but it's not somewhere I think I'll be visiting again for a while so i wanted to fit in as many things as possible. My Insight Guide highly recommended the Zoo so I got up early and took a taxi. The Singapore Zoo is different from any other I've been to. Norm…
