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.

Posted by breading in Asia, Bali, Cafe/Eateries, Food, Interesting, Useful Links 101 on 02 10th, 2010
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.
Turkey Favorites
Posted by breading in Interesting, Istanbul, Places Of Interest, Things Must Do, Turkey, Useful Links 101 on 01 13th, 2010
As someone who loves food and an adventurous one at that - i’m sure you can understand why I love Turkey this much. While i was on the way there one way - i had read something about glucosamine for a co-worker of mine in Istanbul. Anyhow, coming back to my adventure in Turkey - when i first arrived i asked myself - why didn’t i agree to go any earlier - when the company had offered me a project there.
Turkey is not only about Turkish delight - but wait - while i am at it - i want you to know that the Turkish delight one can find here is not the same as the real ones. Anyhow, Turkey! a delightful city for there is food just about everywhere. You need to try just about everything - and i had the luxury to - well, almost because I was there for about a month - from fish to spices.
Some corn? this kinda cart is just about everywheres.
Don’t forget to try the grilled fish sandwiches - a must try.
Traveling First Class
Posted by breading in Airplanes, Airports, Interesting, Transportation, Traveling Tips, Useful Links 101 on 01 1st, 2010
Traveling so much for work, you would think that a cross country moving wouldn’t defeat me but as i waited in the airport from Hong Kong back home a good 18 hours flight with transit in Alaska, i cannot but thank my lucky star taht I’m traveling first class and in one of the best airline - Singapore Airlines. Known for its hospitality and beautiful gals in kebaya - their signature uniform. But truth be told, the hostesses are always nice on first class even on Malaysian Airlines. We flew in United Airlines first class too - but the matronly looking hostess weren’t as nice as the asian counterparts. So what do you think ..?? are the Asian airlines a lot better ..?? when it comes to hospitality? well, don’t make comparison if you are taking economy class though - because i remember taking Cathay Pacific from Hong Kong to Singapore and the hostess weren’t even there as soon as we boarded the plane till we landed.
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.
Escaping The Cold
Posted by breading in Accommodation, Interesting, Las Vegas, Places Of Interest, Useful Links 101, Vacations on 12 15th, 2009
While the rest of the world is freezing, one can escape to Las Vegas for some warm sunny days .. but chilly in the nite. But it sure beats cold day and nite right? And if you are travel a lot like someone i know, some cheap health insurance is a must - i never travel without any health insurance, for you never know when you may get sick.
The Mirage itself is a spectacular view from outside, I love staying at the Mirage, even though there are many newer hotels out there in Las Vegas. One is spoiled for choices.
The Luxor is an Egyptian themed hotel, not only is it grand - the architectural work on it is amazing. Look at the tip of the pyramid .. you can see a beam of light shooting up into the sky… it is an awesome, awesome sight.
A view from my hotel room - spectacular .. and intoxicating - as compared to where i lived.. the town planner of my current town would probably faint.. of heart attack seeing so much lights.
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.
Internet On Flight Air Canada
Posted by breading in Airplanes, Canada, General Info, Interesting, USA, Useful Links 101 on 11 22nd, 2009
So for those flying Air Canada from now to end of January, you don’t have to rush home to your apartments just to get onto the internet. Now you can do all your online work from the flight, well, actually only from Toronto to Los Angeles. The service will cost $9.95 per flight for customers with a laptop computer and $7.95 for a personal electronic device. Not too expensive in my humble opinion.. because your flight has gotta be more than an hour right..?? So don’t forget to ask for their wireless service on board.. if you are flying Air Canada.
