Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a shopping paradise. They are famous with their branded goods which selling cheaper than Malaysia here. It is weird if you do not carry shopping bags when you back from Hong Kong. There are still many night markets in Hong Kong too. You can get fashion goods, souvenirs, delicious food from night markets here.

1) Ladies Market

When talk about night market, Ladies Market is not strange for everyone. 

Ladies Market is located at Mong Kok. As the street name is Ladies Market, which means is a paradise for ladies. You can get the goods with cheaper price. They do not like customers negotiate the price with them, especially if you are the first customers in their stall. If you are the first customers to negotiate the price with them, they do believe their business is not good for the whole day. It might be their business cultural and I found it quite interesting. Some seller might using rude way to talk with you, or scolded you if you asked them for the goods's price but not going to buy it. Most of the items selling here is not 100% original item, mostly are the fake one or replica goods. You have too choose it wisely. 

There are still have many stalls selling men items. Fashion clothes, pants, hats, accessories too. There are even selling electronic items, toys and many more. To get there, take MRT Tsim Sha Tsui and stop at Mong Kok Station. Ladies Market is open daily from 7a.m. to 11p.m..If you are tired of shopping, you can always rest at the restaurant in Ladies Market there. Give yourself a chance to try some local food that you never taste before.

2) Temple Street
The biggest night market in Hong Kong is Temple Street. Hong Kong drama always filming at here. If you lucky, you will be able to see some artists here. Temple Street is more completed than Ladies Market. You can also get whatever you want here. The only different between Ladies Market and Temple Market is their operating hours. Temple market is open daily from 7.00 a.m. to 10 p.m. .

 Besides shopping, you can also resting at the restaurants. The picture above showing the customers sitting outside the table that prepared by the restaurant owners. Some of the restaurant does not even provide table and chair, the visitors just can take away the food. Eating while shopping, perfect match. 

Jabal Rahmah, Saudi Arabia

Jabah Rahmah is a hill where the first couple had their first met on the earth, Adam and Eve. This is actually a hill that pray for the singles.

The Muslim believe that Adam and Eve having their first met at here after falling from heaven. This hill is the meaning of love. It has brought together a couple who had been separated for more than 30 years. The hill if always full with tourist. If you want to climb to the top, you really have to prepare physically strong because it is very tiring to climb up the stairs. Although it is tiring but then most of the tourists are willing to give it a try. The mission is to write your name on the wall, the wall is not far from the hill. By writing your name on the wall, and the name of the people that you wish to reunited.

You also can see many people selling souvenirs, bracelet over there. Remember to negotiate the price with them, because the price offered is so much higher than the market out there. Another activity to do over there is to ride on the camel. The camel is decorating by the owner. There is a chair on the camels, you can ride with your partner too. Do not forget to take picture as a nice memory for this trip.

Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany.

I will always check for the top 10 beautiful places among the world online. I do believe every country must have their beautiful breathtaking landscape. I hope one day I can explore it one by one. Today i will do  some review for this place. Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany.

This castle as known as 'Romantic Road' have over million foreign visitors each year. Neuschwanstein Castle is located at Bavaria in the German State close to the Germany's boarder with Austria. The closet airport is at Munich.

Neuschwanstein Castle is built by King Ludwig II as known as Mad King Ludwig. His aim was to to replicate medieval architecture, especially the Romanesque, and to pay homage to the operas of Wagner. You might be thinking that you have already seen the story in Sleepy Beauty Castle, but it is real. The castle start building on September 5th,1869 when they set the foundation stone. King Ludwig died in 1886 but the castle is not complete yet.

Entrance tickets have to be purchased at the ticket center in Hohenschwangau before you start the climb to the castle. The ticket price is $9 Euros for an adult. They have their first cafe in the castle recently. When you feel tired during your climbing session, you can have a break and enjoy your tea time.

There are few ways to reach Neuschwanstein Castle :

Lake Hillier, Middle Island, Recherche Archipelago, Australia.

Have you ever see the lake with pink colour? It is Lake Hillier at Australia. It is located at middle land and the size of the lake is as big as 2 football fields.

If you wonder why it is in pink colour, the scientist could not clarify the reason so far. Some of them said that the colour is mostly due to the red bacteria in the salt crusts or maybe it is a dyed organism that present in it. The colour of the lake is permanent even if you put it in a container. The lake's water is extremely salty due to the high concentration salt in the lake. Due to the unusual lake colour, it has already become the unique lake in the world. 

There is no tourism to be here as it has already prohibited to step your foot in. You can only view it from the sky as they provided 2-hour helicopter tour to view the pink colour lake. 

Singapore

Singapore is one of the country that having well-developed tourism industry. Singapore has been recorded as the attractive country among the foreign tourists. Singapore has different races and different culture, it makes Singapore more attractive because of the different culture living style that they are having.

Holding your partner's hand and walking on the street, looking at the old building, art work, architecture museums, breathing the fresh air in Spain are the activities in this city. Their cafe,restaurant, open market are full of European style. I love their love style, enjoy and relax.

Vernice, Italy is the next romantic place for honeymoon.

I love the couple sitting in the gondola that drove slowly in the canal. The city is famous with the gondola. If you do not know what is gondola.

If you are going to Vernice with your partner, you must go and have a try on their gondola, playing with some soft music and having some small talks with each other. You can spend your time to the local restaurant for having candle light dinner over there. It can also be a way to spend your honeymoon in Vernice.

London,England

England is one my of my favourite country. I love how is this country inspired people in doing art works, song writing, poem and many more. Despite to say it is an inspiring country, it is more to fashion, entertainment, education,tourism and media. The city of England, London is the country that get most visitors among all the countries measured by the international arrivals. It has 43 universities in England and has more than 300 languages that spoken in London.

The ferries big wheel is called London Eye. If you get ride on it, you can view the whole London city. During Valentine's Day or Christmas, you can get to try on champagne or unique chocolate testing with extra payment. When you decide to chose chocolate testing, there is a chocolate expert to teach you how to get to know the chocolate or other chocolate information or knowledge. London Eye also providing wedding events, other special occasions. If you are not willing to share with public, there's always a private planning for you.

London is the world leading fashion country, of course you cannot miss the shopping moment here. The biggest mall in London is Westfeild London, it is also the largest mall in Europe. It is as big as 300 soccer field, there are more than 250 stores inside the mall. Whether you are looking for book stores, entertainment, fashion stores or hairdressers, the mall has it all.

Another must go place is Oxford Street, it is the busiest street in Europe.

Can you see the crowd? You can always find something to do when you are bored in London. There are many bars, shopping boutique too. If you are the vintage lover, Oxford Street having many old school book stores, original music stores and so on. If you are vintage lover, you can also get the accessories,unique stuffs, organic food at Portobello Road Market. This is the place you definitely cannot miss out.

If you are not interested for the things above and more interested on art work, history, London will never disappointed you. There are many museums, art galleries for you too. You can always choose the museums that is free for entry.

If you are having a very short time tour in London, I would suggest you that go for a museum that free for entry! They also provide you fresh sandwish, pie, cookies, tea in the museum, so that you can stay in the museum for the entire day without going out to hunt for lunch and dinner.

This is British Museum Courtyard. It is one of the largest museum in the world.

There are still many museums at London, for example, Science Museums, Victoria & Albert Museum.

Zhangye Danxia,China

Nowadays,we are living in a time which everything can be photoshop. This time, the place that i want to intro to you all has nothing to do with the  photoshop. Although it is hard to believe that those photos have never edited, but this place does exist in the world.

This mountain is full of different colours,it strikes of red,orange and yellow to emerald, green and blue colour as well. That's why the mountain has a name of ‘Rainbow Mountain'.

Thailand

I go to Thailand every year with my family, people always wonder why i like Thailand so much? Why don't you go to other countries to explore more interesting places instead of going to the same place for so many years? I told them, the only country that i feel like home is Thailand.

i have been to Thailand so many times. What is so interesting about this place? Let me tell you right now!

1) Food

Thai food is all around the world, but mostly are not the real Thai food or the taste is just not as original as the real Thai food. You can get the cheapest food in Thailand. You can see many food being sold along the streets, 7-11s, restaurants and so on. Thailand is like a city that never sleeps. You can always get the food you want whenever you feel hungry.

The signature food in Thailand is Tomyam soup or being called as Tom Yum Gung in Thailand.

 It can be ordered loaded with coconut milk or cream or without it. The taste is unique, it comes with the combination of spicy, sour, sweet,salty in one bowl.

They use lemon, tomatoes, lemongrass, lime, shrimp and other ingredients to cook the soup.

Secondly, Som tam.

Som tam is a very famous salad in Thailand. Thailand chicken rice always comes with this salad. It tastes sour, spicy and sweet with the crunchy green papaya. There is a lot of restaurants and stalls selling Somtam so you will be able to try it easily.


2) The Pretty girls

No doubt, Thailand girls always have the beautiful face and skin tone. Maybe some of them had plastic surgery before, but no one really cares if they are looking great. ( Just for your information, Thailand is good and famous with plastic surgery.) How will you feel when you are travelling in a place full of pretty girls and handsome boys around?

Thai girls are always sexy and good looking. Maybe some of them are boys but who cares? Chill everybody.

3) Bangkok

Bangkok is the capital and most populous city in Thailand. It has everything. When you go for travel, you always find activities to do to fill your free time. Bangkok can always fulfill your requirements whenever you feel bored. There many amazing food, nice clubs, awesome events in Bangkok. No matter what time, even at the late night, you can always find something to do in the city.

Bangkok also have many shopping centers, it is the best opportunity for the local designers develop their business and brands to boost the country's economics.

Bangkok's shopping malls sell clothes and accessories with reasonable price. It attracts many visitors from different countries because Thailand always have the perfect fashion sense in their clothes.


4) It is perfect to travel here

Thailand have delicious food, amazing places, and it is the perfect strategic place because it is in the middle of many popular destinations. It only takes 3 hours from Thailand to Hong Kong, 2 hours to Singapore and Malaysia, 4 hours to Bali and 8 hours to Australia. You can go to many places easily from Thailand with a cheap price!

5) Friendly local people

I had an experience of missing my flight in Bangkok. I was alone and lack of cash in hand, so i could not afford to buy another flight ticket. I quickly went to information counter to get the idea of going back to Malaysia. I was told that i have to take the train back to Hatyai from Bangkok city. It took 12 hours from Bangkok to Hatyai. Thailand people are not really fluent in English, they used Thai language and hand gestures to explain the way to me. I was really moved because they were really nice  and they even lead me to the Hatyai bus station. Then, i took 4 hours to Penang and transit bus to Kuala Lumpur. I spent more than 24 hours in Thailand because of that missed flight. Although i wasted so much time there, but i felt the love from the Thailand people, they are just so patient and nice. Although we spoke in different languages, they were still trying to explain to me patiently. It was a nice memory that i will never forget. Thai people are just so warm, friendly and lovely, they always bring their smile on the face.

Thailand is a place to relax, the best place to hide up yourself from a busy life. You go once, you will definitely want to go again.

There are some other interesting places, such as Haad Patong. When people mention about Patong, you will know it is Phuket. It is the beach that has most number of tourists from different countries. If you want to relax, this beach is totally suitable for you. Some more, it has the best sunset view in Thailand.

Another special vehicle in Thailand, duk duk.

Their service is almost the same as Taxi which is very common in our country too, but the price is very cheap. You only have to pay 40 baht or maybe less to ride on this vehicle. Anyway, it is a nice try and special when you ride it in Thailand.

Do share me your nice memories or experiences that you had during your trip in Thailand. :)

Disneyland Hongkong

I always miss my childhood. Cartoons, songs, and the best memories with my friends and family. Childhood is important as it is so far the best time in my entire life. We could not go back to the past. We are now having our own career and family. Hence,  it is very difficult for us to have a reunion with our parents and friends. Because of that, I decided to reunite with my friends and family by having a trip to the Hong Kong's Disneyland.

There are a few ways which you can reach the Disneyland. When you step into the Hong Kong airport, you can take the train to Disneyland, it is very convenient for the tourist. The train is called the Mickey train (MTR Disneyland Resort Line). The train can reach Disneyland directly. There is a second choice, you can actually take a cab. Before this, you have to make sure that you are in the right cab (it is green in colour) because it is cheaper.

So, once you reach Disneyland's Hollywood Hotel, they will provide shuttle bus for you to Disneyland Park and Disneyland Hotel.

The hotel room in  Disneyland Hollywood Hotel. The photo hanging on the wall is Mickey and Minnie.

Disneyland Hollywood Hotel do provide breakfast, lunch and dinner. So it is easier for you if you are hungry but lazy to go out for food. There is a restaurant you cannot miss out in your trip, that is Crystal Lotus Restaurant.

Their signature food, the 'dimsum'.

Golden rice! It is actually fried rice and they later put in in a crab shell.

Welcome to Hong Kong Disneyland. Hong Kong Disneyland opened since 12 September 2005. It has many game divisions such as the Adventure Park, Fantasy Land and Tomorrow Land and Main Street USA.

The first theme park you might come across is Main Street USA, look at the picture above, you will be extremely amazed by the buildings and lighting here. It is just like you are back to the early 20th century of the America.
As you go through the Disneyland, you can also see many cosplay models dressing in Disney's characters. So you can take picture with Cinderella and dance with Donald Duck.

The most exciting moment I am looking forward to is the firework show.

You definitely cannot miss it out when the fireworks light up the sky,

Here is the information about the tickets selling.
Park Opening Hours: 
10:00 to 21:00 (weekends)
