i'm going to do a recap on my previous travels, as i have deleted my travel blog :(. my type of travel is not the "luxurious" one. my type of travel is all when all you need is just an air ticket & backpack, some $$ and off you go. my budget is all below RM1000, excluding of flight, inclusive of everything from hostel, food, sight seeing, & souvenir.
BANDUNG, INDONESIA (8/8/05, 8/9/05 & 17/11/05)
this trip was for job assignment. not really the kind of trip that i would love. but it gave great significant in me. i love traveling because of this. for all these trips, i stay in santika hotel, no budget at all, fully sponsored. nothing much i can say on this.
SIEM REAP, CAMBODIA (20/7/07)
this is my first bugdet trip. the air ticket was around RM300.00++. i exchanged my RM to USD. please do not change it to local currency because you'll never used it. i stayed in golden temple villa hostel. it was the nicest hostel i seen so far. i stayed 3 night with total cost is around RM 90.00++. cheap huh?! but that was way back in 2007. it was a bit hot & dusty, so, try to bring sun glasses and a lot of drinking water. try to not wear white shirts/pants. when i said it's dusty, it's real dusty where your white shirt can turn to yellowish. went to tonle sap lake, angkors, cultural village, old market as well a new market. it was quite a small town, but the angkor is too big for you to finish in only a day.
BALI, INDONESIA (21/6/07)
this one is the most luxurious trip i had. fully sponsored. not even a single cent! stayed in nusa dua hotel & resort. although it was nice, but it wasn't perfect. most of the place i wanted to go, i didn't. just go with the flow. went to kuta, then a few spa treatment, then an old temple,... i guess that all. bali has much more than that!!
SINGAPORE (9/2/08)
a one day trip. from KL to singapore at 12am. bus from pudu. arrived at singapore immigration around 5am. took the mrt to raffles place, chinatown & orchard until my feet burn & the pain was indescribable. it was tooo PAINFUL! the best thing about singapore is that, their public transportation is the best. well, they have a small island as a country. left singapore with a luxury bus that cost SGD48 to go back to KL, and they have a steward up on the bus as well!!
JAKARTA & BANDUNG, INDONESIA (23/3/08)
shopping spree!! the best damn thing about bandung is it's a shopping haven. the flight was to jakarta, stayed overnight and went to bandung by train the next day. it wasn't cost much. like i said earlier, my budget is only RM1000 maximum.
