Angkor Wat

Angkor Wat

Angkor Wat is one of the "Seven Forgotten Wonders of the Medeival Mind" (w.. wat wonder is that..?!...) It is one of the most fun travel destination I've ever been. Highly recommended. But before you go, try to catch documentary of Angkor Wat from Discovery Channel, it will increase your interest of this destination by 10 fold!

Bayon

To go there, take flight to Siem Reap, Cambodia. The town is small, try to stay close to old market area, then basically you can wander around the town yourself at night. Pretty safe and clean. In the morning, engage with your hotel or travel agent to go for ancient city adventure ;-) The entrance fee/pass would be USD20 for 1 day, USD40 for 3days and USD60 for 1 week.

Statue in Angkor Temple

Oh yea.. few years ago when i plan to visit angkor, lots of worried voices regarding safety, land mines, lodging, food etc etc were thrown over us. But it turned out to be a tourist destination more organised than KL, i think.

Ta Prohm

This is also where one of Lara Croft movie scene was shoot. Vacation here is like going back to kids time where you can play hide and seek, climb up and down, explore here and there. It's just full of fun.

Mulu Caves, Miri Beach and Brunei Mosque

Mulu Caves

There's long weekend during Labour day, so we've decided to travel oversea again... erm, well ok this year is Visit Malaysia Year, so why not to Sarawak Mulu Caves ;-) It's still over-sea ^.^

We travel for 2 hours by airasia from LCCT Sepang to Miri airport, then take another 1/2 hour flight from Miri airport by Fly Asian Xpress to Mulu airport. We spent 4 leisure days in Gunung Mulu National Park. The caves in Mulu, I can say, no camera can capture the magnificient of it. You just have to be there to feel the power of mother nature!

Miri's Taman Selesa Beach sunset

Back to Miri, had a great meal of seafood lunch by the beach and had a great time watching locals flying kite and beach fishing :) and of course, can't miss the sunset!

Bander Sri Begawan's Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque

On the last day, we pay a little visit to little rich neighbour Brunei. Nothing much to do, except to admire the richly constructed mosque, and start to think how good if i'm a magician who can disappear the mosque dome (that's made of 100% gold) and move it back to KL :P

First Trip to Vietnam

Halong Bay

Every year me and soowei will embark trip(s) to oversea(s) (the oversea 's' is a wish). The objective, is just to paint our world map from grey to blue in http://www.virtualtourist.com/.

Vietnam Kampung Girl

We began this year, excluding home trip to Sabah, to Vietnam. The city is capitol of Vietnam, but according to locals Ho Chi Minh City is more modern. Anyway, you can expect loads of culture shock here. The highlight is Halong Bay, one of Vietnam's world heritage site, because of its exceptional beauty. We stayed a night on a traditional chinese junk, in the heart of halong bay - an experience can't find elsewhere :)

Anyway, 5 days is simply not enough for hanoi & surroundings, we'll be back!
