Protest In Bangkok
Posted by breading in Asia, Bangkok, General Info, Traveling Tips, Vacations on 03 10th, 2010
If you are thinking of taking a weekend trip to Bangkok this weekend - you better cancel your trip even though I know some would love to see the Golden lighting there but the authorities fear that things might turn violent during the weekend. It looks like a civil war is about to start and I haven’t seen one of this in a long time now. But yes it can turn ugly - and I was in one in Vietnam some 20 yrs ago - and had to be evacuated out of there by a special group - so my advice - better be safe than sorry.

We all love Hong Kong for its shopping and eating but little did we know that around Hong Kong you can also find one of the most beautiful place for hiking - the Dragon’s Back. It was a really amazing place to find and the girlfriend who was on hemorrhoid treatment wanted to part of the hiking group too. The hike was a 4.5km and one can easily complete the hike in 2hrs.
We started the trip by going on an MTR ride and then took a short bus trip up to a wooded hillside. We also headed to Shek O after our morning hike and really enjoyed our day there.
Yoga In Your Hotel
Posted by breading in Asia, Bed & Breakfast, General Info, Interesting, Useful Links 101 on 02 15th, 2010
Yoga in the hotel that you are staying in, isn’t really something new to me - in fact, 10 yrs ago before coming to Canada - the hotel i used to work for already incorporated yoga in the health center. As I was reading about hgh supplements i cannot help but think about all the chain hotels back home that had the foresight. But having said that it only benefits the long staying guests, for those like you and I going on vacation, would we still want to do our Yoga? Well, i guess i’m the lazy one who only uses the jaccuzzi and the steam rooms but for those die hard yoga fans i guess it would certainly benefit them. So when I read that even B&Bs are doing it for their guests i wasn’t really surprised. Good news for those who loves their exercises and don’t want to miss out even during their vacation.
Bali Beach

I haven’t been back to Bali for so long, so you can understand why i feel kinda sad when the best friend sent this picture of her at Jimbaran eating grilled corn. You see - we used to go there after work and sit and have a beer or two and eat really, really cheap food and corn. The locals are awesome and you can find all kinds of food along the beach front and everywhere a long the roads. Oh, did i also add that they are dirt cheap..? The corn don’t come in their usual butter and salt that we expect but some kinda spicy and thick sauce - so be warned. I eat so much when I was in Bali - i need a quick weight loss program when i got home Canada.
Andara Hotel @ Phuket
Posted by breading in Asia, Hotels, Interesting, Phuket, Places Of Interest, Useful Links 101, Vacations on 02 5th, 2010
Andara Hotel @ Phuket unlike any Fort Myers rentals was still a pretty good experience overall, the suites were pretty awesome. But first for those who are not aware of this, Phuket is a little island away from Bangkok - well not so little since the last time I was there but very touristy if you asked me. You will find even a Hard Rock Cafe there but they were already there since like 15 yrs ago i think.
There are many bedrooms in the suite, so you can actually fully utilized the whole suite room and share the cost with friends or family - just not much privacy.
The master bedroom over looking a awesome seaview was what I want for the rest of my life if I can. Hahaa! really the stay there once made me long to go back again.
And your very own private pool and sun deck - do just about anything you want - swim naked or sun tan any which way you wish. The suite consist of a full kitchen with coffee machine and the works but make no mistake because you don’t have to lift a finger if you chose not to because room service is 24hrs.
X’mas In Tokyo
Posted by breading in Asia, General Info, Interesting, Japan, Places Of Interest, Useful Links 101 on 12 25th, 2009
It is a little cold this time of the year in Japan. One tend to eat more .. when the weather is cold.. and can’t seems to lose weight fast enough. These were found in the Shinjuku area .. in Japan, Tokyo .. and one often wonder how is the light up in Asia right..?
Well, here you have it .. the Japanese are not gonna lose out on the decorating part when it comes to Christmas.. no way..!!! even without Christmas.. they are already so vibrant.. where the neon signs are .. and all. I used to joke that if the town planner of the town i am living in right now.. goes to Japan.. he would probably faint.. ! why..?/ because they don’t allowed flickering lights here.. for the safety of the pedestrians.. and the drivers. Crazy much..??
Yes..! this is only a small part of Tokyo..! the town i am living in .. should be ashamed of themselves.
Escaping The Cold 2
Posted by breading in Asia, Interesting, Singapore, Useful Links 101 on 12 20th, 2009
A little further than Las Vegas but definitely worth every penny .. and the time.. if i have to say so myself. If we didn’t own our own business… i would be getting individual health insurance right now.. and flying off just about now.The Singapore Skyline has changed so much, I am wondering if i will recognised most of the buildings when i go home for a visit.
Simply beautiful.. and it’s making me miss asia .. very much. I missed all the convenience.. of shopping .. food .. and entertainment.. that i don’t get here.
Winter Disney

What better place to bring your kids to then Disney Land in the Winter and yes, kids from all over Asia - now can be a part of this dream come true in Hong Kong Disney Land. Of course, the men would prefer to be looking at Ferrari parts than seeing Cinderella or Snow White but i’m sure all parents around the world wants to bring happiness to their kids right? Yes, we are not any different - had we been in Asia, we would have booked a flight out to Hong Kong this very moment.
This is the sleeping beauty castle during the nite - isn’t that amazing!!! You will love it.. and so will your kids - don’t missed out on Hong Kong Disneyland of course you alo opt to go to Japan - Tokyo - but for a lot of people Hong Kong is a cheaper alternative .. and the food in Hong Kong gotta be the best!
ShenZhen
Posted by breading in Asia, China, Interesting, Useful Links 101 on 11 25th, 2009
About some 15 yrs ago.. when i first visited Shenzhen .. it was already a very thriving little place.. and although they have no Plano dentist, you can see that they are trying very hard to make it as touristy as possible.
But these days.. not only is this Shen Zhen for tourist but also for businessmen and for those who wants to invest or have a rep office. Lots of high rise.. and lots of work for the locals . .and yes.. like the rest of China.. ShenZhen is a place to go.. because it’s not only high tech, it is definitely cheap to live in.. and to do business at.
Hong Kong Airport Food Junction
Posted by breading in Airports, Asia, Cafe/Eateries, Hong Kong, Useful Links 101 on 11 24th, 2009
One would definitely need the best appetite suppressant when on transit in Hong Kong Airport. One would think that some random food junction wouldn’t really have any great food.. but Food Junction is a chain store i heard.. therefore the standard of most of the food .. has gotta be up there. So if you can’t wait to reach home to Malaysia.. or Singapore and on transit .. like i was.. in Hong Kong for like 3 hrs.. i ate my fill of chee cheong fun and some congee. Nothing fantastic.. but pretty good.. after not having authentic chinese food for this long.
