It’s finally came! Sydney on my roster. Time to visit some relatives and my only big brother, Andrew. When I saw that my first flight after my leave would be Sydney, I directly fold it into two, put it in my bag and reached for my Blackberry, announcing to the whole world that I would visit Sydney on 24th-26th of May so that all of my relatives in Sydney would prepare and spare some time with me. Long time no see, fam!

Me @ Grand Palace.
Day 3: We survived our to our third day of Bangkok exploration vacation. What do we have on the list for today? Even at the very beginning of the trip planning process, Ochie told me that she would love to go to Madame Tussaud Bangkok. I have been to the one in Hong Kong, but there were no harm to go to the one in Bangkok, the wax statue should be different somehow. What else? Another shopping time in downtown and night market again. That’s what we called: Girl’s itinerary.

Thailand: Kanchanaburi and Death Railway


Ep.46
“Vacation used to be a luxury, but in today's world it has become a necessity.” – Anonymous.
BKK – Bangkok, Thailand.
7th-11th May 2012.
Feed the Elephants










Day 2 : we started it by booking a tour from the hostel to Kanchannaburi, which is out of Bangkok already. The main idea was to ride an Elephant and by booking that tour, we also got to travel on the train through the death railway. The price for the tour itself was THB 1900 per person including pick up and lunch plus a tour guide. As it will be a one-day tour, we start early, at 7 am.
