Trip to Taiwan May 2011

Hey everyone,

Last week I had a chance to go for a 5-day trip to Taiwan. I went to Taipei, Taichung, Kinmen Tainan and Kaohsiung.

In Taipei, I went to 101 Taipei (the tallest building in the world from 2004-2010) and Sun Yat-sen Memorial (1st President of Taiwan). Getting taxi in Taiwan is so easy and convenient. I also went to the Shilin Market for dinner and went to the night market nearby. Surprisingly, the night market was clean. You can hardly see any trash on the road.

In Taichung, I went to the night market which was located near to Feng Chia University.

In Kinmen, I had a chance to go to the Yeoh Teon Lay Memorial, owner of the YTL Corp. He was originated from Kinmen. I also went for a visit to the Kinmen Kaoliang Liquor factory. Did you know that Kaoliang Liqour contained 58% of alcohol? No, I don't drink in case if you are wondering, it was just a working visit.

I didn't get to visit any interesting place in Tainan because it was a very brief visit.

In Kaohsiung however, I stayed in E-Da World. It's almost like Genting Highland. They have a theme park, shopping mall, hotels and even a university. I also went to the night market at the city centre.

Well, I didn't get to see that much of Taiwan but it was an interesting experience for me. I'm going to go for a holiday with my friends this weekend. Can't wait to go! Wait for the updates ok!

XOXO :P

Trip to Egypt & Saudi Arabia Sept 08

Hello everyone,

This wasn't actually a holiday but I was managing the working visit of our Deputy Minister to both Egypt & Saudi Arabia. Didn't really enjoy it though for quite a few reasons. It was tiring, inadequate sleep, plus....it was during the fasting month. Nevertheless, everybody there was nice. They took our Deputy Ministry to stroll around Cairo & Jeddah.

In Cairo, I stayed @ Sofitel Hotel

The Pyramid

Wit our Deputy Minister & his family, together with the Director of MSD

This museum situated in Cairo, keeps all the authentic mummies

We had dinner on cruise along Nile River, Cairo. It was nice, but as it was during the fasting month, there wasn't a belly dance show. Rugi....

XOXO :P
