Auckland 12-15Oct08

Night flight~ oh boy by the time i got to the hotel (The Langham) i was deadbeat! once i saw the bed i knew what i had to do haha! SLEEP! managed 2 hours or so of closed eyes and off i went with 2 of my colleagues for a little tour round town and dinner.

after this pic i fell dead...

"The Guardian"

Where we had dinner~

Weathers good round 18Deg not too cold. First stop was to a Japanese restaurant for dinner - didn't really take any pics was too engrossed with food. Once we had our fill, we took a stroll to the Britomart transport station to check out what its like. The interior is beautiful and the way the train comes in and out of the station really reminds me of the kind you see in those Harry Potter movies.

Britomart transport station

theres suppose to be smoke coming out from the fountain to the rear!

random pic while walking to the mart

A must do @ every station is to get "drystores" i told my colleagues its a girls thing to be there but guess what? in the end the amount they spent was not more than 30bucks each and mine was 50+ talk bout bad influence huh... before we went back we decided to get ice cream YES! so shiok Ice cream + Cold weather = good combination!

I didnt get to go to the tower =(

my dry stores!

walkway to the room

I Spent the following day in the hotel as i was on "duty" buffet breakfast, chitchatting and went to the gym - at the rate we travel its a must to workout right!? considering everytime we see unique/good food which is a must to try =)

Incheon 09-10/10/08

KOREA! weather is good, people are hmm not bad and KIMCHI is great! by the time we got to the hotel it was bout 7pm or so hence we had to rush out as it was a weekday and we didn't want to miss out on the food and all in the area.

Millennium Hotel - if only the 2 beds were combined...

Off we went to Myung Dong its like a 10-15mins cab ride away from the hotel! once there it was Makan time! the 1st thing we tried out was a dish called "Gym-Duck" hahaha! i really have no idea how its spelt but that's what it sounds like. 6 of us VS 2 x serving of that... we lost.

"Gym-Duck" PS* if anyone knows the exact name drop it onto my chatterbox thanks!

Off to the streets once again! we split up and i could not help but try out more of the local food in the area! so there is peanut butter coated squid.... "Dragons Beard".... Doughnuts! i was told that the Doughnuts from this outlet in Korea is the best one can ever find! and yes indeed after my 1st bite into it i could not help but agree! its the best i have ever tasted so far. Its sinful alright... cream filling, oily, sugar sweet etc!

Peanutbutter sotong! (squid)

"Dragons-Beard"

Candy!

Street performance

Yum!

The following morning i got up early and was kinda lazy to hit the streets and so i went for a swim and a steam bath... strange thing is the pool is really small...

"Love your life, Love your dream"

2 days was all i had in Incheon... i wish i had an extra day or 2... oh well theres always a next time. Thats all for my short 2 days trip. An-nyo'ng-hi-ka-se-yo!

Activated once again!

This time its to Korea~ gonna hop onto an early morning flight tomorrow and ill be back on Friday night. Kimchi anyone? oh yea don't worry Zann if i find that "name tag" place ill surely get you one haha!

Melbourne -part2

Once again iam so sorry bout my previous post! was dead beat... Why? lemmi explain i got back from a midnight flight yesterday morning when i got back to Clementi i just could not sleep so i went for a swim followed by lunch with an ex colleague followed by a haircut yea... i went dead @ bout 5pm and only came to senses today morning.

so where was i... oh yea the malls theres nothing much there... i roamed around for a lill while and off i went to the east to visit the State Library.

St George & the Dragon

Jeanne D'Arc

after which i made my way pass Chinatown to the Parliament Station. Its strange cause theres this lady sitting on the steps with a signboard that asks people if a lady (i wonder if shees referring to herself) should commit suicide... I MEAN WHY DOES SHE NEEP PEOPLE TO VOTE? and even if they do its WEIRD! what if the only people who vote are people who want her dead? its so out of this world i tell ya...

State House of Parliament

oh well and so i went along south pass the park where i saw something thats all too familiar to us Singaporeans! tell me who do you see!!!

Raffles?! wait why is he called BURNS?

yea man he does get job sick @ times you know and so he travels haha! The sky soon got dark and there was a constant drizzle so i decided to head back to the hotel for a little rest before my flight. Here are random pictures that i took on the way back.

St Paul's Cathedral - closed.. sad

OMG!

BRRrrr.. the rain and all got me chilling to the bones i tell ya. Time to get a slice of pizza =) somehow the pizza guy and i started got a lill chat goin on and the next thing i knew he gave me another slice haha - it pays to be friendly! the journey ends with me slacking in the room with not 1 but 2 x slices of pizza before my midnight flight back to SIN.
