Singapore 2012: East Coast

Leave a Comment
Singapore’s East Coast is mostly a residential area.  We went there so we could see what the city looks like in the suburbs.  What I can stay is that the area is clean and green and perfect for biking.

Singapore 2012: Universal Studios

Leave a Comment
Sentosa is not all about the beach and luxurious resorts. Sentosa is also the location of Universal Studios Singapore! I wonder if anyone can ever take a photo of the globe with all the letters of “Universal” captured in one perfect shot.

Singapore 2012: Sentosa Beach

Leave a Comment
I was looking forward to writing this post revolving around the beautiful pictures I have taken.  The exact reason why Singapore became one of my most favorite destinations is because of Sentosa.  It makes Singapore not just a finance center, all grayed out by the tallest buildings, but a city that marries progress and nature.

Sentosa is a small island easily accessible by train.

Singapore 2012: Marina Bay Sands

Leave a Comment
The Marina Bay Sands Hotel deserves a separate post because of the impressive facade that resembles a cerulean tidal wave carrying a surfboard.

Singapore 2012: Highlights of the City

Leave a Comment
Singapore is at the top of my favorite places to visit because there I can find everything that I need —- shopping, food, entertainment, and nature! It’s rare to find gems like this. Being a highly-urbanized city, it’s pleasantly surprising - or refreshing - to see that greens and beaches are just a few minutes away.

Kuala Lumpur 2012: A Bustling Metro

Leave a Comment
Welcome to Kuala Lumpur!

Whenever I go to a foreign place, I prefer to just roam around the city or neighborhoods without a planned itinerary in mind. I prefer to see and experience the soul of the place and not just the famous landmarks.

Hong Kong 2011: Victoria Harbour

Leave a Comment
Capping off our Hong Kong adventure is a nice walk to Victoria Harbour where a lights show happens every 8pm.  I didn’t take pictures of the actual show but the city lights are enough to take my breath away.

Leave a Comment
Although Macau is very famous for its world-class casinos and hotels (which I’m going to cover in my next blog post), the Ruins of St. Paul is probably the most iconic landmark of Macau.

Hong Kong 2011: The Peak

Leave a Comment
This is my first out-of-the-country trip with my sister!  We so wanted to go to Disneyland together, but we did that on Day 2.

On Day 1, we roamed random streets of HK and then went to The Peak, the highest point where you can see all of HK.  We got to ride the tram, which is bent upwards like 45 degrees or whatever. It was so uncomfortable.  BUt the view makes up for it.

We got to the top and immediately went to see Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum.

Vietnam 2011: Nha Trang

Leave a Comment
When going to another country, it’s not enough to just see the city.  Seeing the rural side is also a must!

And so we found Vietnam’s beachside, Nha Trang.  From Saigon, we took a six-hour overnight train to reach this breath of fresh salty air.

Vietnam 2011: The City of Saigon

Leave a Comment
This is actually my first ever out of the country trip.  My friends and I didn’t plan this.  It just happened… or more likely, a seat sale happened.

Ho Chi Minh City is the official name now but Saigon has certain ring to it.

Anyway, we went there with no itinerary at all.  It was like, anything goes!  So the first thing we did as tourists was to roam around the city, and the products of our walkathons are here below.
