More Exciting for Second Time in Thailand

Going back to Thailand...

Tense with excitement, anticipation and not little apprehension as a landing- gear clunked down and the fasten seat belts sign came on, I looked out the window eagerly. I was so fascinated with the view and the big plane I was on. After 5 hours flight, I saw like a jewels in black velvet, the lights of Abu Dhabi shimmered on the long straight airport road that crossed the dessert. I couldn't see the city because we arrived at the airport with the Etihad Airlines at night to transfer to Thailand. We needed to catch 9:45pm, now...we were panicking because it’s almost 9pm and we couldn't find the gate 30. We had to go through other inspections. It wouldn't be easy for an old woman to catch up the flight. We had to run for boarding. Thank God, we made it... I know very soon on 7 am, we'll be in Thailand.

I enjoyed the flight with Etihad Airbus. It was enormous. I liked their foods and of course the movie box. I watched all the box office movies like Superman, Hunger games and Avengers. I stayed up awake and talking with a new Thai friend Kai and Bryan who was her English Husband.

It's landing time and my first sight in Thailand Airport almost took my breath away. I never had such long time to enjoy Thailand. This time, it would be different. I wish three things and I am hoping that my husband would grant these; first, the elephant ride, floating market and the Muay Thai.

Here are the best experiences I've ever had in Thailand. I met new friends from Singapore namely Lea Jensen and Celia. Here are our video clips on how we enjoy Thailand so much.

Our first stop in the war cemetery

If you don't like to visit the museum, you can visit the bridge which was built by the prisoners of war.

Of course... who can forget my first ride on an elephant. Fantastic!

After the elephant ride, we enjoyed the scenic view by this bamboo rafting.

We are only given 20 minutes to enjoy the falls. hmmm:( How wish we could stay much longer.

Another way to enjoy Thailand is through its Market and River or Canal Cruising.

River cruising along the Bangkok River

After the floating market, we went to see the villages through a boat (another canal cruise).

Memories in Austria from June 7 to June 16

Day 1 in Vienna – June 7, 2012 Leaving Budapest makes me sad, but going to Vienna makes me so excited. Another cultural experience has been waiting for us. So, the day before we left the country, we made sure that we have the necessary foods for the trip and cash because we need to buy train ticket. We woke up early and started walking at 5am heading to the Train Station, Budapest- Keleti. We supposed to leave at 6:05 am; however, there was something wrong with the rail jet, so we were transferred to another train that left at 7:10. We reached in Wein Meilding station in Austria at 9: 58am. Of course, travelling is not really all fun. I felt so tired specially, you can’t sleep well and you have to wake up so early. This train or Railjet 60 is much faster than the train we had from Bekes while the train from Debeljaca to Becej is the slowest of all. This is really second to Bullet Train. They have comfortable seats and ventilations. They give us program to inform us about ...

Lesson learned: Expect the Unexpected

T raveling is not e asy e specially when you have to step out of your comfort zone. A ll the inconvenience, desperation, and unexpected troubles that happened during the trip are lessons to reflect upon. We have proven how risky traveling is w hen my husband and I went to Europe for our honeymoon last year. T here were times we put our selves in danger because we messed out our bookings and things didn't work out as we planned them. Since the first day of our trip, we were used to booking our next departure ticket ever y time we arrived in a city. It was in contrast on what happen in Sweden. We didn’t know that we had to book the ticket from Copenhagen. Apparently, we thought that we are getting ahead, but we are not. We had to call Denmark's office to book the ticket knowing that we had no where to print it. It was a blessing that the S...

Letting Go of All Worries in Donna Buang Snow Mountain, Warburton | Snowplay | August 12, 2019

They say that winter always describes as cold, numbness, scarcity even associates with death. For me, that is snow, that is those days of bluster and ice that can be dangerous, but it can be also magical. It is a flash of diamonds that are covered everywhere. It is just all pure and white. May I wish that these thick pillows adorned on the trees and the soft and fluffy snow I am stepping on could heal all my worries about the future. Yet today, I am happy simply to walk with my family in it, it creates footprints of our own. The snow is soft enough that walking itself is very challenging because aside from it is so slippery, my feet are plunging to it. " God... please help me not to slip." The worried thoughts of a 27- week pregnant mommy me. And this is my winter pregnancy worries. Family on Snowplay in Mount Donna Buang, Warburton As I was holding Hannah on my left hand while I was holding the bars walking slow...
