Cottages in Cornwall, Eden Project

image of my boy with his uncle

For past entries, I’ve talked about London apartments and the Olympics 2012. In this entry, it still related to United Kingdom, the place where I spent 4 years, completed my study and earned lots of Pound Sterling (by working and doing ebay). During those periods, I’ve spent a lot when travelling around England, up to Wales, Scotland and some European countries.

Normally I prefer driving my proton Wira car (known as Proton Persona in UK). Just for knowledge, here I share some information about proton Wira, credit to wikipedia:

In 1994, exports to the United Kingdom began where it was marketed as the Proton Persona (not to be confused with the latest 2007 sedan model by Proton). As with the Saga, all export models used multi-point fuel injection to comply with the Euro I emissions standards. The UK market also had a turbo diesel engine in the range, called TDi. In 2001, the Wira name was finally used in theUnited Kingdom, replacing the Persona name. 

So, I loved the car very much and she really deliberate on me. Unfortunately, I’ve to let it go as it is not worth for shipment back to Malaysia.

Ok, so lets get back to what I’m going to say. Among those places of interest in UK, I really admire cottage house. The cottages are really special to me. I like the look and the surrounding environments. For me, cottages in Cornwall are one of the best in term of house designs, environment and variation. I had a chance to enjoy the view and scenery during my vacation to Lands End, back in 2004.

The topography of Cornwall makes the cottages look amazing, as there were hills, stiff area, high cliff and the ocean with big waves. Everything looks so perfect to me.

Not far from Cornwall town, there is a masterpiece of architecture, laid cluster of gigantic dome know as Eden Project. The Eden Project was designed by great architect, Nicholas Grimshaw. It was a great honour for me, to have a chance witnessing the art of architecture from great architect.

Honestly, I’m so impressed once I stepped into the giant dome. Believe me, you can’t get the same experience any other place in UK or Europe. The special about Eden Project is that it gathered plant species from around the world. The first emulates a tropical environment, while the other dome for a warm temperate, mediterranean environment.

It’s already 6 years since I left England for good. Still I have the feeling to come back there to enjoy all places of interest and holiday destinations. I wish I can make it again.

London holidays Summer Olympics 2012

Summer Olympics 2012 is not far away from us. The London Olympics will be held from 27th July till 12th August 2012. Even not for Summer Olympics, London already known for some prestigious sports tournaments, such as Wimbledon (tennis) and Wembley Arena (football).

 If I had a chance, I would like to be in London Summer Olympics 2012. Anyway, it depends on my budget and availability.

When talk about visiting London, it will involve with London holidays. As we know, London is one of the most visited places for holidays. Previously in my posts, I’ve mentioned about London holiday apartments and hotels in London.

For some people, they might be looking for best London hotels or maybe a luxury hotel in London for Olympics 2012 accommodation. For others especially with family, they might be looking for self catering London 2012 , cheap hotels London or maybe an apartments in London to get better rate for longer period. There will be great if we can find central london hotels during the 2012 Olympics.

 Anyway, you better reserve a place for Olympics 2012 accommodation if you are planning to get there during summer 2012. I bet there will be extraordinary and irregular visitors coming to London during the Olympics.

Cheap hotel rates, discount hotels, hotel reservations

If you are looking for discount hotels and cheap hotel rates for reservation, there are plenty of websites offering this kind of special deals. Still we can’t find the specific website or travel agents providing exact information on the cheap rates hotel term.

Most people will try to google for best way to get cheap hotel rates and they will have thousands and even millions of results on website and blogs, providing the information. Almost everybody claim they have the right information provided for specific term of hotel cheap rates, but how to determine the best information?

When you want to make hotel reservations, normally you will type keyword likes London cheap hotels, cheap hotel rates Las Vegas or maybe cheap hotel rates Orlando. Then, the google results will show all related website and blogs with related keywords.



First of all, you have to make sure that the website provides search tool tables with specific option for desired Destination. Then it should have dates for check in and checkout. Finally, it must have Numbers of Rooms and Guests to accommodate the hotel room.

If the website got them, then proceed with process to get comparison between one hotel to another.

Usually, the website should have info and exact data for hotel rates, rooms and amenities at thousands of discount hotels worldwide. With their search tools, you definitely can find the best hotel selection at the lowest rates that fit your budget

The most important part is reviews from past customers for the selected hotels you chose. From here, you can exactly decide whichever hotel suits your need. A best
cheap hotel rates doesn’t mean good satisfaction for the customers. Let the testimony become your decision helper.

Don’t forget to check for any hotel coupons offers for cost saving more for your reservation. The best part is if they don’t charge you for single cents if the hotel reservations are cancelled or changed.

3 night cruise from Penang - Phuket - Krabi - Penang

When I was in Portsmouth, I've been to Calais and Doover (France) couple time with the cruise service. It was fantastic moment for me as a first time experience cruising.

Since I'm back to Malaysia, I haven't had a chance to cruise again, due to busy business schedule and hectic life.

But I feel like to cruise again since there are a superb deal from SUPERSTAR LIBRA. For 3 night cruise from Penang - Phuket - Krabi - Penang, it only cost RM715, instead of of RM2,060 for 3 Nights Cruise Accommodation + 4 Meals Daily at Selected Restaurant Outlets + Captain Gala Dinner during Krabi Night + Cabaret Performance & Entertainment + Use of Specific Cruise Facilities.

I'd love to join the cruise, and having special deals. Hope there still a place for me available. Can't wait to tell my family!

Melaka hotels series : Intro

Start from todays, I will start giving series of reviews, information and guide for Melaka hotels. Basically, there are many types of hotels available in Melaka. From high 5 star hotels, budget hotel or maybe a resort, available for you to choose.

You also can choose either to stay in a modern style hotel room or a classical colonial building style.

There are plenty for you to decide, but make sure to make earlier reservation as normally Melaka hotels are fully booked during school holidays or festive seasons.

Among the favorite locations for the Melaka resort and hotels normally are:

• In the middle of the historic city
• along the beaches (pantai Puteri, pantai Klebang, Tg. Kling, Tg. Bidara)
• Ayer Keroh (family destination area)

Basically, those are some important point before choosing to get a Melaka hotels package. I will eleborate more in the next post entry.

Book hostels in Paris

When I was in Paris couple years ago, I found it hard to communicate with the locals because most of them didn’t speak English. By the time I arrived at Gare du Nord, (Paris Eurostar Train Station), I was approached by a Chinese ladies asking me if I’m interested to book hostel.

As I’m travelling with limited budget, surely I will look for cheap hostels or hostel for backpackers. So, I can’t get the complete description from the ladies about the price and the exact location.

So, I believe you don’t want to get trouble when you are looking for Paris hostels. Make sure to do some homework or else you will get disappointed for real discount hostel.
