*BACKDATED JUST LAST WEEK 13TH JULY TO 16TH JULY 2019 Panathenaic Stadium ( World's first Olympic stadium ) near Syntagma metro station.  ; So I start my travel story of 2019 at the city of Athens, Greece. Let me tell you something. First of all, the locals. Dosen't look very friendly at all. Therefore I'm not saying all. The moment I touch down at the immagrations. The officers gave that unfriendly look and abit lazyness of their job task given to them, there no smiles and minimal conversation. One thing for sure, they have alot of talent in ARTS and GRAFITI. Greece is really good in paintings and designings so NICE ONE GREECE (:  ; The stairs is seriuosly the killer here. look how high or huge every steps is. ; Something is really very wrong with the statue. The Parliament house of Greece near Syntagma metro station ; Day 2 in Athens. I was supposed to be at the old and new Acropolis museum unfortunately the tickets i purchased ...

*BACKDATED 20TH JAN TO 27TH JAN 2018 @ #Shibuya crossing, The famous #Tokyo Drift crossed junction ; 7 days of extraordinary Japan trip in Tokyo. First of all the weather is a stone COLD killer. It was negative 2 degrees. I can only last for about 10 minutes and thats it i would go in the malls to catch up with the heat. Finally, I have arrived at the most famous crossed junction known to the world and the world of entertainmernt called Shibuya Crossed Junction. Exactly where #Hollywood make its movie called Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift. @ Mount #Fuji shopping mall, 2 hours drive from Tokyo  ; It was supposed to be a day at Mount Fuji however it was too cold and snowing even winter flakes wasn't giving any chance for us to see the glimpse of the famous snow mountain. My bus tour guide brought us to a nearby grand mall near to Mount Fuji. Even the signboards are giving away. ; I can barely feel my face as it was numb. This snowy weather as its lowest tempera...

*BACKDATED 17TH JAN TO 20TH JAN 2018 @ N Seoul Tower, Locks of Love Shot by: #Olympus OM-D EM-5 Mark II ; So I start my first month of the year at the capitaly city of #Seoul, #South-Korea. This is a wonderful vibrant city. The weather is the very first I love the most. 12 degrees as it is winter season during Januarys. Seoul is so clean and well organized just like Singapore. But the cold weather is a plus point cos i dont get to sweat alot and need bath often unlike in south east asian countries. Everything here looks positive, from the environment to infrastructure and food. Yes, #FOOD ! Is what I'm always looking forward to. There's a plenty of #Halal korean local cuisine can be found anywhere its just a matter of researching and exploring. ; One thing for sure Seoul has ALOT of downhills and up. Your life can either go up together with your pulse rate or down with your soul. Life has its ups and downs. ; I had to take the cable car ( Which is somethi...

*BACKDATED 10TH FEB TO 20TH FEB 2017 ; So i started off my 2017 with the capital city of Indonesia called Jakarta. This city is just like any other cities in the world, high rise buildings, banks, mega malls, more and more hotels. A vibrant city with full history and monuments. Its really during daytime and cooling breeze at night. Yet its not really that safe to be walking alone espicially if you're a tourist. The traffic in Indonesia espicially in Jakarta is extremely bad you could take hours just to travel 10kilometers or less. Traffic congestions every day every time, it gets worse during peak hours. ; Here is my first monument of the night, The National Monument (Merdeka Tower) or known as independence tower. ; Satay (Sate) is Indonesia's all time favourite street food. Basically a beef or Chicken meat skewered and barbequed on a hot charcoal glazing with oil and touch of honey. Its really sweet and juicy and tender. Preferably Beef or Mutton me...
