April 20, 2010 – Daejeon, Korea

The perfect place for biking has always been the Park. People go here to spend their siesta. Other than biking, people can stroll around, sit on the benches and nap or read a book or have a hot coffee with someone while having a good conversation. After a decade, I finally had the chance to bike again, and this time, there were only few people in the park. I don’t need to worry about bumping other people especially the kiddos. Hehe. Because I am always a beginner when it comes to biking.

Fried, again!

April 21, 2010 – Busan, Korea

Before we start to walk on the streets of boutiques and stores, we found a food stall and bought a pack of potato strips. That’s 3000won on the go.

April 10, 2009 – Mekong River, Vietnam

I saw this boatman waiting on his boat and watching the tourists having the first initial excitement for the yet-to-be-adventure boat ride in Mekong River.

The Mekong River is the 13th longest river in the world. The river runs in a number of countires: Tibet, China, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. It ends at Mekong Bay in Vietnam.

April 9, 2009 – Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam

Seeing hundreds of motorcycles every day honking and driving in between cars with fast speed fed me up in Ho Chi Minh. If you think you can just bump a motorcycle in the Philippines because they look defenseless, think twice. In Vietnam, motorcycle is the king of the road. You wont be able to bump one motorcycle only with a little turn of steering wheel but dozen of them. There are approximately 50 motorcycles accidents happen in the city everyday.

Those Roots!

April 2009 – Siem Reap, Cambodia

You should not miss visiting the Ta Prohm temple in Cambodia. I have 3 reasons for saying this:

First, Angkor Wat is one of the 7 wonders of the world. If you’re just going to spend your day in the hotel because it’s hot and dusty in Cambodia, why not exempt a day in Angkor Wat? You dont want to miss one of the distinct places of Mother Earth. Would you? Second, Te Prohm temple is one of the locations of Tomb Raider movie. You may not be a Jolie’s fan but you can ask yourself, “What does this temple has that a hollywood movie flew thousand miles just to shoot some scenes? Third, this temple has Tetrameles nudiflora. What’s that? It is a tree and a specie of Tetramelaceae that has ruined the Ta Phrom temple into broken structures because of its huge roots. This specie can be seen in other countries but not all of them have grown to immense proportions of height and width. You’re going to love those roots once you’ve seen it.
