Kicked off my 2012 travels with a brief visit to the world renowned temples of Angkor, during the CNY holidays. Angkor was never in my list of places to go, considering that it is extremely touristy and has also been photographed to death. But somehow, I booked my tickets to Siem Reap...

Not sure where and how to begin. It all started with researching options to witness the second Total Lunar Eclipse of 2011, of places that guaranteed clear skies. Bagan popped into my mind instantly. I had been missing Myanmar dearly and I wondered what took me so long to decide on the location...

Yet another dream came true when I went to Iceland last month. There are so many memories from this trip, that I don't know where to begin. I don't really have any adjectives to describe Iceland. All I can say is that it is one of the most beautiful places on earth and the people are the...

All, Earlier this year, in Feb, in between business trips, I managed to squeeze a week off work and went to Yunnan. A trip that I had been planning for the last 4 years finally materialized. It was now or never, as I didn't know if I would be able to make it in the future. This was a solo...

Recently I bought a new harddisk to make a second copy of my photos. While backing up, I started browsing my photos all the way from 2004. So many of them could have been trashed but have been lying in my PC just because of some silly emotional attachment. They sure made me so nostalgic, that...

This was in end-Aug this year. I had just returned from East Java. A news report caught my attention that said "Gunung Sinabung wakes up from its 400 year sleep" Huh ? Where's this Gunung Sinabung ? Never even heard of it. A quick search on the internet showed that it was in North...

Lsat Sunday as I arrived in Singapore, I got news that Gunung Merapi, the most active volcano in Central Java, was on an Alert 3. I started monitoring the situation closely. On Tuesday, the alert level was raised to 4. I couldn't stand anymore and booked a flight to Jogja for Friday. And prayed...

All, Here's a collection of photos taken from 3 trips to places around Yogyakarta. Saving all my leave for a long vacation later this year, so had to make do with short trips by taking 1 day off from work and using the weekend to make 3 day getaways... Weather Gods have been rather unkind to...

Snowdon (in Wales) is one of the peaks that one needs to scale as part of the British Three Peaks Challenge. The other two are Scaffel Pike in Lake District (England) and Ben Nevis (in Scotland). The "die-hards" do the Three Peaks Challenge in 24 hours by travelling by road between the three...

Hello all, I could do with some help here. I've been doing some research on getting an MP3 player with a very (maybe I should say very very very) long battery life. My main purpose is to take it along when I am travelling without having to worry about carrying a charger. Anything that can run...
