Day 2- Ephesus vs Turkish Delights

Day 2


The most importance thing you should remember when you travel in Turkey is the WC.  I don’t know what it means but it is a toilet.  Bay WC is for male and Bayan WC is for female. 

If you all still cannot understand, let me project them to you....

Because of the long journey in bus and drinking water, the most wanted pit stop is the WC.  We thought Ali how to say the word “Tandas” which means toilet in English.  

Along the ways, I can see few fuel stations and the price per liter is quite expensive.  I cannot imagine when we fill up full tank.

We headed to Kusadasi known as the Bird Island.  Near Izmir City.

After 6 hours journey, we stopped at the first Turkish Attractions… 

Day 1- Istanbul, Here I Come

Day 1

Our journey to Turkey has been planned 6 months ago.  We joined with a tour group of 60 pax.  At 7 pm, we rented a van to dispatch 8 of us to KLIA.  This trip is a 10 days trip to Turkey.

Aircraft MH0030 took nearly 10 hours flying from KUL Kuala Lumpur International Airport to TAV Ataturk International Airport.

Zoo Negara - A listen, listen, listen phenomena

Zoo Negara Malaysia is managed by the Malaysian Zoological Society, a non-governmental organization established to create the first local zoo for Malaysians. Zoo Negara is now 48 years old and has matured into a well-known zoo all around the world. We have a total of over 5446 specimen from 476 species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish.

Zoo Negara covers 110 acres of land which is situated only 5km from the city of Kuala Lumpur. Over the years, the zoo has transformed itself to an open concept zoo with over 90% of its animals being kept in spacious exhibits with landscape befitting its nature. We are working in making sure that the old zoo concept is changed entirely.

KL112 - People Power ? Freedom?

Just to share these video clip about KL112....

Just a simple video to show people have the choice to make different.... to decide what is the best of our country...

Our country is a very rich country with plenty raw resources, i.e. petroleum, palm oil, log and many mores if we channel them properly without bribery, greedy and manipulation.  We will have big boats to catch fishes, we have big tractors to plant paddy, we have big plants to export our goods, we have good people to provide services. We and our children will become good financier, bankers, engineers, doctors, architects, investors and more and more... can go globally.

If these resources and wealth are adequately and respectfully managed, the people will be more enjoying their day to day living, the cost of living is not so high, free education until master, no toll, no hike fuel price, no crime....

We need freedom to be the best of the best....

Think wisely and vote wisely....

Welcome 2013: A Day Trip to Cameron Highlands

Going to Cameron Highlands (CH) is quite a long journey from Kuala Lumpur.  Especially if there are many vehicles on the highway and the trunk road between Tapah and Brinchang.  This is not-a-plan journey and we decided to shot to CH for a day trip. 

 Cameron Highlands (CH) is in Pahang and it is one of Malaysia's most popular tourist destinations, a collection of peaceful townships perched 1500 meters high on a nest of serene mountains. Cooling resorts, tea plantations and strawberry farms sprawl lazily across lush valleys and meandering hillslopes, the perfect setting for a relaxing holiday. The sea of tranquility, pleasant landscapes and cold climate impart a special experience upon the multitudes of visitors each year.

After exit the Plus highway via Tapah, the trunk road toward CH is quite tough because many narrow and bend roads.  Some pavement are quite ok and some very bad making our car bouncing hardly.   There are a few landslides construction and need to put extra careful when maneuvering the roads.  For bikers, they should look forward to wave their bikes ascending to Tanah Rata and Brinchang and descending back to Tapah.  Anyway it is a pleasant journey where we can have a few pit stops.  

First at Lata Iskandar Waterfall.  

Want to be Jack Reacher (Tom Cruise)... I dont think so!

The new movie "Jack Reacher" in coming this week.  It should be one of the best movies by Tom Cruise beside the Mission Impossible.

I'm wondering how is the feeling by holding and shooting a real gun.  Normally my kids and I go to the video game arcade to play the shooting game.

I got the chance to become the Jack Reacher or any other superhero who has the gun in their hand to save the world.  I want to experience myself in a real shooting action with a real gun.  Anyway, this is my first time and it is a totally awesome. 

The first lesson is that the safety in handling firearm....

Legoland.... Awesome 1Malaysia Amusement Park

Brought my family to Legoland Malaysia and even it was a working day, wow!! it was crowded like h....!!

Legoland Malaysia is a theme park that has opened in Nusajaya, Johor, Malaysia on September 15, 2012 with over 40 interactive rides, shows and attractions. It is the first Legoland theme park in Asia upon its establishment.

If you plan to go there, please buy your ticket online because if you want to have a long queue under the hot sun, you can just walk in and try to buy your ticket. You can buy a daily pass or annual pass, up to your pocket budget. Unfortunately, they don't sell VIP pass where you can escape the long queue for the rides.

Please buy a week before you plan to go because you need to print out the PDF ticket where they will email to you.  You need to show the printout once you want to enter.  If you buy the annual pass, you need to queue also because they need to take photograph of your face on the annual passcard.  You can enjoy Legoland the whole year.

One more advice is that please bring an umbrella for the hot sun or raining. It is a damn hot sun and it burns every each of your skin.  If I'm the vampire Edward Cullen Twilight, sure my face sparkling the whole day.

To go there, if you are driving from Plus Highway, need to exit Airport Senai and then take Tuas / Nusajaya / Pontian / Tanjung Pelepas (EXIT 253) and then proceed to Nusajaya (EXIT 312) to Legoland.

If you have GPS devices, use this GPS coordinate, N 1 25.642 and E 103 37.792

When you enter, please quickly run for the rides, queue up and enjoy.... some of our photos and experience...please click more...
