We arrived at Changi Jetty at around 9.15am, and could only get on the bumboat at around 10am. I had the sense of déjà vu when i arrived at the jetty. I saw the familiar arrival and departure hall. I saw the usual queue for boats heading for Pulau Ubin. Nothing’s change after so long […]
My last post for the trip. You must be tired reading my travel entries by now, hahaa, but no choice. If i did not make an effort to blog them down now, i would forget more than 80% of the stuffs. This is the problem i faced in my past trips. I took too […]
This morning, our next destination was the Yinzi Cave. The rain from the previous night made the lake looked foggy. The pictures did not turn up quite well. But it sure feels like one is traveling through the celestial court short of fairies flying around.
A nice fishermen came on board our ferry on […]
We continue our journey today from Guilin to Liu Sanjie Cultural Garden
Liu Sanjie is pretty well known all over the world, especially amongst the Chinese. I’ve heard of her from my previous history lessons but i’ve never actually know her past in details. We visited the cultural garden today.
This woman has never cut her hair […]
It’s another new day in Guilin. We woke up early today to visit a place called Longsheng. We were greeted by the local folks in their traditional costumes. They did some performances for us such as the Bamboo Dance and we also got to drink their famous Zhuang Tea (a.k.a You2 Cha2 in Chinese) […]
On day 3 , we proceeded to the border checkpoint in Mong Cai. We walked across the bridge that links the Vietnamese border town of Mong Cai on the southern bank and the China Dongxing City of the northern bank across the Beilun River.
We spend a night at Nanning before proceeding to Guilin.
Day 4: We […]
After an hour’s climbing and walking around the cave, we finally met the sun again. The air in the cave was pretty good and fresh, but i still prefer to be out. I cannot imagine getting lost all alone in the cave. The stones and natural carvings seemed scary after a while.
Today’s our last […]
We arrived at one of the caves in Halong Bay. I don’t remember the actual name of the cave but this is the cave which the ferry from the mainland brought us to. I guess there are other caves around the bay but this is one of the popular one.
There’s one island which our tour […]
Day 2 - Hanoi (Halong Bay) Part One
If you ever had a chance to go Vietnam, you will definitely NOT give Halong Bay a miss. Else you might as well don’t go Vietnam. (At least this is what colleagues told me) It’s the main tourist attraction in Vietnam.
Today we had a full day excursion to […]
1st March 2008 - Day 1 (Singapore to Hanoi)
This was my first trip abroad with my family. We (total 6 members) hardly had a chance to travel together. Going to Vietnam/China was never on my mind as i am a eat-potato person (in dialect, it’s call jiat gang dang a.k.a one who prefers to speak […]
