hahahan - Chung Hun

Hi there!

I'm from Singapore, a sunny country all year round. I like to travel. Culture, people, history, way of living, weather, the sights, sounds and the unknown presents their own uniqueness. Trekking off the beaten path also presents its own appeal and offers relaxation and reflection. Nice scenery and activities are always a plus.
I've been to places like San Fran, LA, Hawaii,Indonesia, Australia,China,Thailand,Turkey,Iran, Cambodia and recently Japan. Hope I can visit all the places I want to go in my life time. Fingers crossed! Life's a journey. Make it a happy one.

Dayang 09 - A scuba diving weekend Asia » Malaysia » Johor » Mersing

Dayang 09

Its strange how things come together and how travel and learning something new brings people together. Thomas and I have been talking about learning scuba diving for years but never found an agreeable time to do so. And then, it all came together within 2 weeks. My work trip got postponed, JL's hol trip got postponed, Thomas and Dennis had an available weekend and so off we went. 3 guys and a gal off to Dayang for our padi open water beginner course. We had taken our pool and theory the previous weekend under a a very jovial and humourous [View Full Entry]

Kelong Trip+Go-Kart & Paintball in Johor 1-3 Mar 09 Asia » Malaysia » Johor

Motorcyle Diaries

A Kelong trip was in the making for quite some time and we finally did it! We set off early Sunday morning in a group of 9 across the causeway into our neighbours land for a short break away from our work. Isaac, Kelvin, Ivy, LH, GM, Pauline, HW, Jace and myself made the trip. Traffic was light and we had breakfast at a coffeeshop. I had black sause wanton noodles which I thought was tasty. I must have been hungry. Our first stop was the Go-Kart Track at Plentong. The former Permas Jaya track had shifted into a plantation and [View Full Entry]

Hokkaido - Furano, Biel and Daisentsuzan Asia » Japan » Hokkaido

Rise and shine amongst Sunflowers !

We were off to Furano early morning. An area known for its beautiful flowers, wine and grapes. Our car boot was beginning to fill up with stuff we bought. We had purchased box after box of Shiroi Koibito for our friends and family back home. Our 3rd day driving and so far so good. We were making our way to one of the local wineries when we spotted Sunflowers! Huge sunfowers! We immediately got off and snapped our cameras. We continued on to the winery and grape juice factory before heading out again. And then we saw it... A whole [View Full Entry]

Tsukiji Market, Ghlibi and Asakusa - End of trip Asia » Japan

Me at Tsukiji fish market

Back in Tokyo, we checked into one of the business hotels near Ginza so we can visit Tsukiji fish market early in the morning. Dragged our butts out into the cold early morning and watched the fish auction in action. Really interesting with all the fish laid on the ground, marked and ready to be auctioned off. This Japanese fella comes forward stands on a platform and starts shouting and ranting off a series of terms which we obviously don't understand. By the end of the morning, we were hungry and headed to the nearby eatery to eat. Sushi of [View Full Entry]

Abashiri , leaving Hokkaido Asia » Japan » Hokkaido

Jumpers

Our first stop at Abashiri was to the Prison Museum. Strange isn't it, must be wondering why we want to vist a prison museum. Well this prison is as important to the town of Abashiri as Alcatraz is to the San Francisco. Had some fun here visiting all the places. We even ate some prison food for 500 yen...huh huh.. Highlight of the day (or our trip!) was our lunch ! We decided to try out Hokkaido's giant King Crab. This one was huge! Price was also huge but it was all worth it once we set our mouths on [View Full Entry]

Akan NP, Lake Mashu and Shiretoko NP Asia » Japan » Hokkaido

Tom and myself

Akan National Park. Our fist stop was one of the volcanic areas where yellowish sulphur can be seen spewing out from the vents. The area has a pungent smell with smoke emitting from the many vents. Strange but interesting piece of nature. Next stop was up to view the sights of Lake Mashu. Another pretty scenery which by now, we were pretty use to. Kinda make you want to visit hokkaido again in the winter to see how it is like. Visited a totally natural onsen in the evening located right beside the lake. Truly amazing place. Decided to visit [View Full Entry]

Hokkaido - Nice, very nice Asia » Japan » Hokkaido

Lake Shikotsu

Our caught an early flight from Haneda Airport(Tokyo) to Chitose Airport(Hokkaido). Woke up really early like 4am. Realise the streets of Ikkebukuro can be quite sleazy at this time. the previous night we did some shopping or rather, Xia did some shopping around Sunshine City. Did some people watching at one of the busy junctions before calling it a night. Quite a busy place actually Ikebukuru with all the Pachinko parlours, food places and the working class thronging the streets at night. Quite excited about this leg of the trip at Hokkaido cause it would be my first road [View Full Entry]

Geisha

Our first trip on a Shinkansen bullet train to Kyoto. Nice fast and pretty comfy. The bento sets at the train stations didn't taste good though despite the pretty packaging. We checked into Karasuma Hotel before making our first stop at Kinkakuji. A gold plated temple in a zen garden setting. Pretty place Snapped away with our cameras until I realise my pictures looked grainy. Realised my camera just konked out on me. NOooooooo! Had to borrow Thomas's camera for the rest of the trip. Well its Shan's camera actually. heh Kyoto is arranged in a Grid system easily accessible [View Full Entry]

Japan, Tokyo- Back Packs are out again. Asia » Japan

First Restaurant Meal in Tokyo

I have heard many good travel experiences from friends and colleagues about Japan and decided to make it happen. Decided that it was too good to pass this opportunity to experience the culture of the country and slot in my very first holiday road trip in scenic Hokkaido. Even more fun in the company of 3. I figured we would have a really good time. Thomas scouped us up at the airport and we spent the night at his place in Chiba. Picked Shan up the next morning before heading to Tokyo to open our city life account of the [View Full Entry]
