Svetla & Yasha Zibin
We are off to Southeast Asia!! It is Svetla's first trip "East", actually west from Canada, and the third time for me. We plan to visit Hong Kong for 3 days, then Indonesia for about 7 weeks before Malaysia and Southern Thailand for the remaining couple of weeks. We are pretty excited (and nervous) but all in all it should be a great adventure and we expect to have fun exploring some exotic areas of this marvelous world.YZ

Well, we managed to spend nearly 2 weeks in Bali and it's been a great combination of sights, sounds and food! We finally managed to find some good food in Indo, apart from the millions of options in Jakarta. That's due to Bali being super-touristy as compared the previous regions in Indo we had visited. The shopping and ease of touring around the island were also much simpler and more competitive for us foreigners. Enjoy the pics and we are off to Malaysia in a couple days!... read more

The majority of our time in the Maluku region of Indo was spent in the Banda Islands (3 weeks altogether). There were barely any other tourists here due to the difficult transportation challenges to get there (a boat every week or two and only 2 small flights per week). It was exceptionally relaxing to spend the days strolling around the islands, snorkelling amongst the clear waters and beautiful coral gardens, or just hanging out in our guest-house and enjoying local delicasies like food made with locally grown nutmeg, mace, cinnamon, and kenari-nut (almond-like nut). We had a great time and now we are in Bali for a couple weeks to end our Indonesian holiday....more soon.... read more

Our first week in the Maluku region, near the city of Ambon. We had time to kill for 6 days before the boat left to the Banda Islands. Not a bad place with swimming and coral right outside of our guesthouse room so we could easily go snorkelling in the waters.... read more

Greetings from Asia! We have made it to HK and the jet-lag is not bad considering the length of flight direct from Vancouver (nearly 15 hours). Our 3 days here has zipped by and we have enjoyed walking around various parts of the city, shopping in markets and eating/drinking some of the local foods and drinks. Please enjoy some of the pictures.... ... read more
