 Rubbing noses with King Jayavarman VII! A 6D/5N tour of Angkor Wat is definitely not enough. Although we have visited many sites, taken more than 2,000 photos, there is still much more to explore. I bought T-shirts and souvenirs for all my friends except myself. Must go back!-- Teoh Hock Leong, Penang Wherever you go in Bali, people will want you to buy something from them. I found a trick to make them go away — have an SLR camera handy and constantly snap whoever is in front of you. They will not bother you anymore, I promise! - Dian Azura Muhd Ghiathuddin, Selangor Ouch, ouch, ouch! My sore feet finally touched the summit of Mt Kinabalu. I burst into laughter. “This is it,” I shouted. “BERJAYA! BERJAYA!” Who says an Ah Peh (old man in Hokkien) cannot climb the highest peak of South- East Asia? - Loh Choon Wah, Selangor A train ride along the Death Railway takes you through the beautiful countryside of Kanchanaburi. This wooden track that hugs the cliff and runs alongside the famous River Kwai was built on the backs of WWII prisoners (POWs) during the Japanese Occupation in Thailand. - Cheah Chin Hong, Penang Catching up with an old friend doesn’t need a specific place or time, and that includes road peddlers. Spontaneity is always welcome. Listen to their folk stories and enjoy some freshly peeled fruits. V. Umadevi, Pahang |
