  • Journey of A Lifetime – A Day in Oslo (2 August 2018)

    Oslo probably deserves at least 2 full day to visit. But I was on a tight budget in one of the most expensive cities on the planet. In addition I had an early flight to catch the following morning, so the plan was to make the most of the 15 hours in downtown Oslo and […]

  • Journey of A Lifetime: 3 days in Bergen (29 – 31 July 2018)

    After a good rest the previous night, I looked forward to start exploring Bergen. Nothing too strenuous as the aim was to adjust to the different time zone and eliminate any effect of jet lag. The hostel I’m staying has a kitchen, so guests staying here may cook their meal. A compulsory facilities for a […]

  • Journey of A Lifetime: Day 1 (28 July 2018) – arriving in Bergen

    It has always been a pleasant experience to fly on Malaysia Airlines to London, and I look forward to fly on their new A350-WB. But they had used the bigger A380 instead because of high passenger demand in summer. I managed to get a descent amount of sleep during the flight. MH2 arrived in London […]

  • Half A Day In Bath

    This was a trip we did in October 2014. Initially we had planned to rent a car from London for a driving tour. However, after further research we had changed the plan and took the bus to Bath, overnight there before picking up our car rental the following morning to explore Devon and Cornwall. That […]

  • Retail Theraphy in Amazing Bangkok

    I’ve been to Thailand a few times, however this time we did it when the country is in political turmoil. But I’m glad that we went ahead and didn’t cancel the trip despite warnings from some quarters that it’s not safe and travelling to Thailand is at best be avoided. Arriving on late Friday night […]

  • A Beautiful English Countryside ~ Part I

    After a short stop to see Angel of the North, I was on the road again, driving south along A167 into Durham County. Durham City is another beautiful university town with its fascinating castle and cathedral. But this time around I’m skipping Durham and head straight to Teesdale, an area I haven’t explored before. To […]
