cambodia trip
finally! the Cambodia trip pictures are sorted, the collages are done and i have a tale to tell. so.. what’s cambodia like? some of my colleagues thought i have gone columbia instead! it’s quite a weird choice it seems, at least among my peers. well, according to cherie’s dictionary of travel… every where is good so long the trip is paid for and if the location is somewhere i have never been. yes. my aunt decided to be adventurous and decided to go. i tagged along cos the inital plan was supposed to be 2 of us going china. so it turns out, mum tagged along too. my impression of…

nyc pictures
i was getting really lazy to sort out the photos when chanrkl showed me her album links and got me excited about them. the sad thing is, i really have too much photos to sort out.. and i have only managed to finish uploading New York’s photos thus far. it’s a huge collection, and you’ll need lotsa time to see everything. i didnt upload selectively cos it’s too much a hassle to choose the nicer ones. the whole collection can be found here. and all those pictures are taken within 1.5 days.. enjoy!

Day 8 & 9 of Spain vacation – Salamanca and Toledo
day 8 & 9 of Spain vacation – Salamanca and Toledo We headed off to Salamanca! Instead of the usual churches, we visited the Shrine of Fatima. It’s a really interesting place to be.. a large plaza in the centre of it and sheltered walkways around it. Well, more shopping on the trip at the Salamanca Plaza. The Plaza Mayor reminds me of another place in Europe, but can’t quite recall the name right now. day 9.. We left Salamanca and popped into Toledo, the town famed for making swords and knives. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The most memorable thing I have of the city is how…

Day 6 & 7 of Spain Vacation – Crossing over to Lisbon Portugal
and here’s day 6 of spain trip where we crossed over to Lisbon, Portugal. I extract this portion of the blog entry out from an original lengthy blog entry written very long ago. You can read the original blog post if you are interested. One of the first activity we did that morning was SHOPPING! And how could i not visit Zara while in Spain? Post shopping, it was a long road journey to Lisbon, Portugal. We drove past neverending fields of cows and cattle and it was a calming sight indeed. Once we were over the border, we immediately spotted the iconic places of Lisbon – Port of Lisbon,…

Day 5 of Spain vacation – Seville.
Spain – Day 5. To Seville i go! Checked out the Alcazar in Seville on the 5th day of my Spain vacation. It’s a royal palace in Seville, Spain and it used to be a moorish fort. It is the oldest palace still in use in Europe and also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Climbed 34 levels of the Giralda (another World Heritage Site), which is the bell tower of the Cathedral of Seville and checked out the amaaaaaaazing view at the top of the bell tower. Can you tell i pant a lot on my way up and down? Seeing the bell right at the top has its own satisfaction, despite…

Day 4 of Spain vacation – Alicante to Granada
Day 4 of Spain vacation – We checked out from our hotel in Alicante and moved on to Granada. Totally missing the lovely seaside view of our hotel and had to do a mandatory jump shot with it. I’m in love with the alicante oranges. they are so huge, so sweet and totally juicy. We wished we bought a lot more and had to painfully ration them amongst the 7 of us. We visiting Alhamba Palace in Granada and as usual, i was up to no good taking all sorts of funny pictures in the place. It’s a HUGE palace and it took us a while to troll the entire…

Spain vacation day 2 (Barcelona) – Montserrat & Park Guell
On day 2 of my Spain vacation in Barcelona, we journeyed up to Montserrat. The journey up is a little scary because of the long and winding hills and that i kept feeling like the bus is going to collapse over and roll down the hills. While the view is breath-taking and spectacular, i spend quite a fair bit of time feeling motion sick. The Sanctuary of Our Lady & Benedictine Monastery has amazing views. It was so high on the hilltop, you could potentially feel a little altitude sick. We toured around the place and checked out the statue of Madonna. We also took a vertical cable car which…
