Profile
[UPDATE 17 March 2009]
Well I've booked my tickets and planned my itinerary for Chaul Chhnam Thmei (Cambodian New Years) & Brunei in April 2009, along with Hong Kong, Macau, Bangkok, Cambodia, Indonesia, Bali, Kuala Lumpur in December 2009-January 2010!!!!


I enjoy taking photographs and absolutely love to travel. I've had the travel bug ever since my first trip to Cambodia with my family in 2001, and hence returned to Cambodia in 2002, 2005 on my own and finally making a huge Southeast Asia backpacking trip in 2006-07.

Sigh I wish I didn't have to Live to Work.... we should be working to live and enjoy the world!!!!

Hong Kong is a pretty commercial place, so most of the attractions are shopping, shopping, and shopping...Mong Kok is a good place to go to stroll, it's supposedly one of the densest commercial areas in the world, even more than Shinjuku on weekends. Off the beaten track you can hit the new territories...there's a wetland conservatory for bird watching, and a huge buddha statue on lantau island that is quite a worthwhile visit. There's also panda's in ocean park...but give disneyland a skip. It's about as big as my old backyard back in LA.
