Imagine to spend a sunny and warm day in an elephant village in Thailand. Watching the apes, trekking on the back of the elephants, listening the interesting stories about authentic jungle life and in the end eating an delicious lunch with fresh fruits in season and coffee. That's exactly what we did in a one Sunday during our holiday in Pattaya. First the elephant village's staff member came to pick up us and couple other visitors from our hotels with minibus. Then our three and 1/2 - hour tour in elephant village started by combination trekking on the elephant's backs, first right through the river sitting in their backs and then continuing to the open area where we saw the cutes cow ever.., riding through the bushes and passing the villages and kind of " savanna. ... read more

Our long waited Christmas holiday in Thailand from 13th of December To 27 th of Dec. started from Bangkok, which is the capital city of Bangkok and largest urban area and primary city of Thailand. This was the best way of starting a Christmas holiday from Bangkok, absolutely without any big plans. Beforehand I though I could be happy if I get a chance to enjoy of the sea, the sun and relax. Everything else beside that was considered as an extra! When we landed Bangkok at the Saturday afternoon 13th of Dec the weather was hot and sunny, on the other hand, what else to even except after not so sunny Singapore. To my great surprise the weather there was much more easier to handle than the huge humidity here in S'pore. It was so ... read more

Since we have been doing pretty fun and "not so serious" things lately this time we decided to do something else. Or actually, someone else decided that already at school, hence we had a field trip to Fort Siloso, which is a coastal artillery battery and one of the twelve coastal batteries which made up ‘Fortress Singapore’ at the start of World War Two. That was pretty much all I knew about the place beforehand. Fort Siloso was almost too easy to access because it was located on western tip of the island of Sentosa (formerly called Blakang Mati — the ‘Island behind the Dead’) which is the island where our school is.Fort Siloso was like in our neighborhood and I didn't almost have any idea that it is really so close The Fort is one ... read more

Time is once again passing so fast, different kind of assignments, tests and reading materials have been keeping us very effectively in front of our laptops at home. See the attached photos from us studying, going crazy or something.. Just few more weeks more and then we will hopefully have a long Christmas holiday. However we have been doing many things, except going to school. Last night we went to see firework show. They celebrated Vivo City's ( one huge shopping complex) 2 years birthday and shot them from that buildings roof. I Must to say the show was amazing, designer team was coming all the way from France, so we had a really nice French firework show actually, even though I don't know how it excepts from other nations shows. As it seems we have ... read more

K.L. like the locals call their city is the capital and the largest city of Malaysia. There would be so many things to tell about our weekend visit there, that I could almost write a book, but now I will try to stick to the relevant. Since the public transport and the condition of the roads is so good, we decided to take a train to Kuala Lumpur, which was a nice decision. All those landscapes, local people and pineapple trees ( they seemed pineapple trees, but I'm not exactly sure if they were..) almost took my breath away. It was evening when arriving at K.L. so we planned to catch a taxi to our hotel. We just didn't know we need to book the tickets for taxi beforehand from a different stand before we could ... read more
