Yes,yes. Casinos. Who doesn't know that you come here to gamble? But I don't believe so, aside from the influx of gamblers,I truly believe that there are still people who don't come here for the ugly,monstrous casinos,oh jeez, and the artificial volcano across the ferry terminal?Macau is my home. But I haven't gone home in three years already,how I miss it! If you're planning to travel to my hometown, chances are you've read that it's a tiny place and that most places worth seeing are the her...

Due to the increasing cost of fuel, the Land Transportation Office has issued taxi drivers stickers that would allow them to charge an additional P10.00 "Tip". This move started on July 25, 2008. As of this writing, there are still Taxis that do not have the YELLOW sticker, it's up to the passenger to give the tip or not. Should you encounter erring drivers and operators (and you will), you can report them to the LTFRB hotline: 7890. Applicable to Metro Manila Taxis only. For Prov...

July 17th - We got up and went to the bus station to catch our 1pm bus to Rio. We got on at 1.30pm and it was full.  Emma was sat in front of Neil.  We went straight to the Argentinian border crossing where we were waiting for 1hr for everyone to get a stamp in their passport.  The Brazilian border crossing was much quicker. Once we were through the borders the lady next to Emma moved for some reason so we had seats together.  We were then both given a massive lunch as we ...

The restaurant opened in June 2008. Interior is nice and minimalistic in white and black colours inspired from Asia. The menu offers food for every taste. All dishes includes dipping and sauce in different spices. Taste and smell of well known spices inspired from Asia is qualities that make your meal a pleasant experience. This evening I am celebrating summer vacation with some of my friends. We choosed different dishes from the menu and all of us were very satisfied with the food we ...

This morning I took my mom, dad and my two year old niece Olivia to the beach at Little Talbot Island State Park.  I visited the beach the previous week on a field trip and was told by a park ranger about a spot on the island that is perfect for finding starfish and sanddollars.  The island is located off of A1A and is easily accesible.  Park fees will cost you $3 per vehicle, but it is more than worth it.  Just beyond the ranger station is a parking lot with covered picni...

This morning, we woke up in good spirits to sunny skies! We ate a wonderful breakfast of Irish farmhouse cheeses and fresh fruit, and then we headed off to climb Brandon Mountain. The mountain is somewhere over 3000 feet.  The first 49 minutes of the climb were on tarmac roads, pretty much climbing straight up to a grotto commemorating St. Patrick and St. Brandon. There was also a warning at this point to bring along extra food, clothing, etc. I, of course, then wanted to head back to th...

I was so lucky that I had a chance to visit Japan in January 2007. I was one of twelve Indonesian Islamic School Heads that invited by Ministry of Foreign Affair Japan in collaboration with PPIM UIN Jakarta. In my opinion, Japan has done a great job in preserving its culture while moving towards to modernism. I could not say anything besides "Thank you Lord... alhamdulillah..."

I adore Croatia. I grew up there so I guess I'm a little biased. But it really is beautiful. I love the cities, the country side, but especially the seaside. It really is a nice place.

Wawel has a very important role to play in Polish history. You'll find here for example the royal castle and the treasury. Many Polish kings were also crowned here. The complex has been build and rebuild throughout time. If I'm correct the first structure dates back to the 11th century. So I won't deny the importance of this place, and the historical value. Especially for Polish people, this is an important place as many milestone events in history took place here. But that's enough for the h...

We woke up early anxious and excited for our short plane ride to Abu Simbel where we get to see Ramses II and Nefertari's Temple.Although we didn't leave on time due to several people who overslept and were hungover from the previous night, we arrived at Aswan's airport with 30 minutes to spare before our flight. We were on EgyptAir Express - a small-sized plane making multiple direct flights between Aswan and Abu Simble daily. Our group of 32 took half of the seats on the plane and were a no...

Time out from college studies, two jobs, property management and Sidney...

As I mentioned earlier my family has come camping at this lake almost every year of my life. I am now 24 and my dad and his brother started doing this when they were my age. My family is not big on traditions but this is one that is very important to me.  Now i should also mention that because we have been coming here so long we get the same two sites every year. We have started a habit of bringing way too much stuff. Its not really roughing it but i love it. We always bring a ping pong ...

Right now I'm sitting in the lobby of our guesthouse in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Five minutes away are the world-famous Angkor Wat ruins, which I've heard put any Europeon castles/ruins/temples to shame. We spend tomorrow, and possibly the next day, exploring the expansive ruins by tuk-tuk. The ruin area spans hundreds of kilometers, so we'll see only a small fraction. Very exciting. At the end of my last post I mentioned that we were taking a gov bus up to the border town of Aranya Prahthet. On...

Travel just for fun together with my sister and my best friend Tone. Once or twice a year we choose a City to visit and this time we went to Lisbon.We just loved this city :-) and we will return as soon as possible. It was our first visit to Portugal but not the last one :-). The people here is very , very friendly and they speak english very well.

Federico nos fallo esto es un mal recuerdo de este viaje ya que confiabamos en el. Realizamos los tramites correspondientes y esperamos que llegara nuestro peq...
