ShangHai -April 06

I didn't really get a chance to travel around Shanghai, co'z i was here for a workshop and most of the time I was working in the HP building or in the hotel. But is wasn't too bad to work in the HP building as it has a nice view of Shanghai ... and managed to snap some "quick-pix" from the window from the office building, hotel and from a cab we are riding to go around shanghai town :P


The FOOD is awesome, i have "little-dumpling" 小龙包 for almost every meal, it tasted just so good ... and not forget those hot and spicy food we had, and it makes my lips bloated, very embarrassing ! There's one place call “滴水洞“ .... yum yum ... famous for the "water-cook-fish", some pork ribs, and some other spicy stuff ... check out it's menu, which is all listed in Chinese and pity our "banana" friend can't even order anything from the menu ....

We had a chance to go "around" shanghai for about an hour before departing ... hahaha...what a ride !

Magnificent Angkor Wat - April 06

Heard a lot bout this place and being one of the seven wonders in the world, and yet it's not too far from where i live, so ...why not ?



I remember there's was this AirAsia sales on the flight ticket to fly to Cambodia and at the same time my sis-in-law suggested to go for a break from the hectic work schedules and then we planned everything in just one week and there we go to Angkor Wat !

Places we went, the Angkor Wat of course!, Bahreng, Baksei Chamkrong, South Gate, Angkor Thom (my personal favorite ... remember the Tomb Raider ??? Angelina Jolie ring your bell ?? ) Ba Phoun, Elephant Terrace, Terrace if Leper King, Prasat Kravan, Srah Srang, Banteay kdei, and some other tempers which i can't really recall the names but then most of the tempers will soon be devastated by the forest, there are some restoration work being carried out. (oh. remember to bring along a passport size photo in order to enter to the Angkor Wat area)

The food...hmmm ... errrr ..... guess can't expect too much unless you are going to have buffet in hotels and etc ... i would say i don't get a chance to taste any unique dish, it's more like something we had in Thailand, tom yam, pineapple rice, sticky rice with manggo, etc.

It's a wonderful and sweaty trip, be prepare to WALK a LOT !
