Day 4- Hierapolis of Pamukalle

Day 4

“Gew-nine-dinn” means good morning in Turkish.

We headed to Heirapolis, was an ancient Greco-Roman city in Pamukalle.  It took us 5 hours from Kusadasi to Pamukalle.

It was fascinating to come here to see the landscape, the 200 meters high cliff covering with a white frozen salt.  The scenery was magnificent. 

There are a few hot springs, last time have been used as spa.  According to Ali, he said that majority wealthy Roman during the old days would come here to soothe their ailments, with many of them retiring and dying here.

Hierapolis is a UNESCO world heritage site.

The strong winds and the cool weather did not stop us to walk and enjoy ourselves.

Day 3- Meryem Ana Evi Home

Day 3

“Tar-shah-ku-lar” means thank you in Turkish.

After breakfast, we were brought to a leather shop known as Leatherium Kircilar.  The leather stuffs are very good and high quality and the price is very shocking.  If in your pocket got more than USD1000 and you can buy one.  A nice leather jacket, which bought by 2 guys cost them USD800 each. Wow, I'm totally not buying this leather stuff even I got plan to buy but when I heard about the price. I freeze and my jaw dropped down.

Before that, they organised a runway leather fashion show to entertain us and we enjoyed it.

Barisan Nasional OR Pakatan Rakyat

If we have a crystal ball, we can predict who will win GE13.  Who is the winnable party... BN or PR?

Both have their hardcore voters...

BN....

PR

Who will you vote.... I got six (6) question marks?

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.
