Oopps. i totally forgotten about this travel blog of mine again!! haha
Anyway, in terms of travelling, it's been an interesting year for me last year! besides the usual Malaysia, went HK with my family in APril and then to Hanoi/Halong bay in July and ended off spectaculary with a visit to INDIA!!!
I never imagine that one day i would visit India ever! I must admit i'm not the very adventurous kind of person, and though i do wanted to visit the "exoctic" countries, i'm pretty apprehensive about those places. Being brought up in a very safe singapore, with everything at our fingertips, we are very spoilt and this kind of made me more apprehensive of certain countries. ANyway, after attending serveral dharma classes, my mum and I somehow were on the same wavelength and the thought of doing a Buddhist Primilage appealed to us. And we did went! Visited the 4 major sites of Buddha's birth place, enlightened place, place of his first sermon and the place where he passed on to nirvana. It's really an eye opener trip filled with lot's of unexpected happenings, and it did make me appreciate our governemnt and the the safety we have more. Not to take so much for granted.
It's really a memorable trip, and if given the chance i would want to make the trip again!
July was a visit to Vietnam. My 2nd trip to the country but my very first to halong bay and hanoi! Halong Bay is really a sight to behold. Beautiful scenery every single moment. Stayed aboard the junk for a night, and got the luxury treatment! LOved every single minute of it! and at Hanoi, we stayed 2 nights at the most luxury hotel -Sofitel in town (thanks to my accord membership). it's amazing. but even when we shifted to another boutique hotel (which is much cheaper) the services and rooms were great! really value for money.
Well more or less completed my 2012 updates. hopefully for 2013, i will be more updated with the details of my travels memoris!! hahaha
