I took the ferry and crossed the Strait of Gibraltar from Tanger, in Moroccon, to Seville. I was in Seville in the late afternoon for a few hours before I took the 6 hours night coach ride to Portugal. While waiting for the coach, I went around and took some pictures.
你说越南有多美
它就会像你说的那么美
我已经去过越南四次了
我还会再去那里看她的美
这些照片是我去越南旅行时拍摄的
把照片留在这里让你慢慢享受越南的美

Crossing the roads in Ho Chin Minh City,
is an utterly terrifying experience.
To reduce the risk of heart attack,
you could follow the locals’ foot steps.
The behavior of the speeding motorists,
could not be easily changed.
After years of education,
they still remain the same.
At massive traffic intersections,
you should be brave to march into the fierce fight
with full confidence.
Using the locals as human shield,
until you reach the other side of the battle field.
Survive in the crossing will be the evidence.
Suzhou is known as the Eastern Venice (Water City of the East). There is no train service in the city and people have to take the buses and occasionally the boats. The bus fare is 20 cents per trip. I have no problem traveling alone in Suzhou as I am able to read the signs and take the buses to those places I wanted to visit. I stayed 3 days and 2 nights in Suzhou but I do not mind visiting the place again as it is really worth visiting twice.
From Shanghai Hongqiao railway station I took the train to Suzhou. It is just 2 stops and the journey is about 30 minutes. The ticket costs S$8.
When I was in Hanoi, I took a 3 days and 2 nights tour package to Ho Long Bay. This is a interesting trip only if you do not mind having long waiting time for almost everything.
Guess more co-ordination is needed to be done.
After hours of waiting, we finally onboarded the ship. We had the first night stay in a hotel in Cat Ba island.
The next morning, we continued with the sailing on the ship.
Lunch was served on the ship. Boat people also approached us trying to sell their items
The ship continued to sail slowly and we had a good view of the bay
Halong Bay kayaking
We visited the caves

上有天堂，下有杭州
西湖有如中国山水画般的美丽
可惜老天不做美下起了毛毛雨
让我无法拍出好看的照片
我必须再次来这个地方取景
拍照可要看老天的面色
尽管在下雨, 我还是继续的逛绕着西湖漫步
看到了西湖十景的断桥残雪
这可是白蛇传里的白素贞与许仙偶遇的地方
许仙将油纸伞相赠于白素贞得以遮雨归家
我继续往下走
看到水浒传里的打虎英雄武松之墓
还有中国古代四大名妓苏小小之墓
听说连乾隆皇帝都去过苏小小的墓
杭州还有很多可供游客参观的地方, 但我没有全部参观完
当我在杭州的时候, 我住在是萧山区
在这里, 我可以看到农民在农场里工作
其实这里离市区并不远
我从火车上下来
我去城里呆一会儿
和我的联系人见了面
去了一家茶馆
还吃了一些食物
First trip to Krabi was from Phi Phi island by boat. We just got an hour stop in the town area for some pictures taking and hurry to take the mini van to Phuket to catch the show in Fantasea. I dd not see much of Krabi.
Second trip to Krabi was from Hat Yai by van. I stayed in a hotel which is just 10 minutes walk to the famous Ao Nang Beach. I was in Krabi for 4 days and 3 nights. I have more time to explore Krabi.
The sunset was beautiful. The fireworks was fantastic. 冇得頂!
Do not feed the monkeys. Unless you want the monkeys to climb over you.
During the stay, I took the 4-island tour.
My 1st trip to Hat Yai was by the coach from Golden Mile. The 2nd trip was by plane from Changi Airport. The 3rd trip was by bus from Johor Larkin Bus Terminal. I will say Hat Yai is a place to eat and shop. A stay for 2 to 4 days is enough.
I took the van from Hat Yai bus terminal 2 to Karbi.
I got the public bus 01 from Da Nang and it took me about 45 minutes to reach to Hoi An.
From the bus station, I took a slow 30 minutes walk, under the blue cloudy sky, to the hotel.
I stayed in a 4-bedded room but 2 of the beds were empty during the 2 nights stay.
The staff were are friendly. They provided directions for places to visit.
The hotel provides breakfast. There are also nearby restaurants providing alternative food.
There is a entrance fee to get into the Hoi An ancient town but I saw many people did not buy the entrance ticket. The entrance ticket allows you to get into certain places in the old town, You can also use the ticket to watch the water puppet show. I think it is worth paying for the ticket
Inside the Hoi An ancient town
I took the half day tour to visit My Son Sanctuary (means beautiful mountain). This is a UNESCO Asia- Pacific World Heritage site. It is also known as the mini Angkor Wat.
Huế is a city in the central of Vietnam. It was the seat of the Nguyen Dynasty emperors and Vietnam’s national capital from 1802 to 1945.
A major attraction of Hue is the Imperial City (皇城). This is a walled enclosure within the citadel (京城) of the city of Huế, the former imperial capital of Vietnam during the Nguyễn dynasty.
The Imperial City was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993. This historical site is still undergoing restoration when I was there.
When you walk out of the visiting site, you will be encountered by locals trying to sell anything they have on hand.
The Thien Mu Pagoda (Heaven Fairy Lady Pagoda) is one of the most fascinating ancient pagoda in the Hue city. It is situated on Ha Khe hill, north bank of the Perfume River, in Huong Long village. I walked for about 5 kilometers (about an hour) from the city to reach there. After been there for about 30 minutes, I walked back to the hotel; I could have taken the boat ride back instead.
The Hue Royal Antiquities Museum is a World Heritage but I found there is no nothing much to see.
The market is on the right hand side of the the bridge when I walked from the main road. Besides vegetables and meat, the market also sells food, drinks, household items, clothing, shoes, etc. I bought a pair of Adidas shoe and some roasted Vietnamese cashew nuts through a hard bargaining process.
The city area where I stayed.
I stayed in the Amona Hotel. The check-out time is at noon but I was allowed to stay till the late afternoon for the bus come and pick me up to Da Nang, I gave the hotel a 5 Star rating in Agoda.
