Exciting Scenery and Exotic Places to Go! Soon!

If William 'Yummy' Baldwin will ask me what is my biggest indulgence? well, that would be for sure Travel. I was fascinated traveling when my cousins & childhood friends introduce me this hobby(char) two years ago. It's costly but the memories and experience will be forever. Traveling gives me the idea that the world is beautiful and you need to explore in order for you to understand people their way of life, their culture and most especially their place.

Conde Naste Magazine my travel bible, gives me a lot of insights about traveling and thus I have made my lists of exotic places to go. Probably not this year but I love to conquer this piece(s) of Paradise someday somehow.

First on my list, is Hvar, Croatia. My Aunt Lucy based in California told me that this is really a beautiful place. If you love sun, sea and mediterranean-relax setting, this is the city you are looking for.

  Next stop, is Belek in Turkey - its also a resort city where relaxation and chill is the name of the game. Located in the southern part of Antalya where lots of Europeans are travelling just to adore this mediterranean place and its sun.
 
 The last but not the least, Mykonos, Greece for some gay fun, gay sun and gay adventure. A gay friendly place where its counterpart or comparable to Ibiza in Spain but the best part of Mykonos they are situated in Mountains and hills where white is the official color may it be a house, a hotel or a vacationeer sauntering the hilly streets of Mykonos.

The Art of Letting GO and Be Free!

Emotionally, I have been battered since I was a Kid. I dunno but I considered it as emotional battery because it's like my past haunted me again in this age of mine. Ever since, I have been living with my siblings - we had almost 3 rows now of fights-throwing insults and degradation.

I do not want to feel and experience that again back and forth. I am old enough to know what its like to be in that state of emotion where in you feel like you  have nothing good in your family except enduring and giving them headaches. Also, in order for me to escape from this harsh reality I need to move out and escape from this turm oil. At least I have still a little respect for them and in order for that respect to remain and grow again. I need to be out from their sight(s). It is the only way I can do for myself and for them. Its actually the win-win solution that I have in mind now.

Hope this will be for the betterment and for good of everybody!

Ramblings

I really do not know if I'll just stick to write about travels only or  either I can also vent my frustrations and anger here. But the fact that the title is "Outbursts" then probably or literally I can shout out all my moroseness here.

Actually, I decided that this blog should only be or solely for travel articles but now that I am out of subject about travel. I believe I can deviate from writing travel and just scroll what ever is on my mind. And then, perhaps if I will travel again then probably I can write back about it.

For now, I will write anything or rambling about what's up on me, my plans etc. So far, I think I have grown up the fact that I lost interest of going out or shopping for that matter and instead, just staying in the house and be chilled.

Things like that that I never imagine I can do now. Well, whatever it is but life is so far so good. I think, I just go with the flow and then what ever comes to me I will accept it and just go on! Life's adventure anyway! There is always Up's and Down.

Travel

Travel O Traveller!
Why are you so addicting and so exciting
Especially if you travel with your family and friends
For there will be fun, joy and laughter.

Traveling is great if there is some one who will threat
and that is your self O Treat O Please
Lest, traveling is really the best O Yes indeed

Traveling from east to west
is the best among the rest
Yet even I am from the Far East ,
I love to travel to the west
for there will be so much learning and exploring
to that western hemisphere, So exciting!

Travel O Traveling
why are you so appealing yet so money & energy draining
The moment I experienced traveling, the moment I learn to know
That the World is so so beautiful
to explore, to conquer and  to appreciate as in!

Koh Samui's Island Tour


The tour guide really pushed me to book this tour because she said in her thai accent "It's fun and exciting lah". And that's why I did not hesitate to tell her "Ok lah".

As in the next day @ exactly 7:30 AM the reception rang me up incessantly and told me that the agent for the tour was there patiently waiting for me. Right away, I changed my clothes and directly went upstairs with out taking a shower(yekky). I thought we went straight to the place but to my surprise we still need to picked some tourists in another hotels for this tour and that is why the agent picked me up so early. Anyway, I do not mind because my group for this tour were friendly and accomodating.

First tour, we went to this village called Island safari where the elephant and monkey shows will be held. The shows were both okay its just that I am quite sad for the animals because the guides beat them up especially if they are not performing and so I just clapped and enjoy the show but the most hilarious part was when the female elephant did the thai massage to the guest performer as in she massaged him by her mouth and huge foot (really funny). And then, the next activity was the Elephant Trekking which I had so much fun because its not just an ordinary trek but a real fun adventure.
 

After the trek the tour guide advised us that we were going for the Buddha Temple tours. It was indeed informative as the tour guide gave us insights about the temple, etc. We hiked the 80 stairs of this Big Buddha and then we visited other temples also like happy Buddha temple and six fingers Buddha temple.


And the most exciting part of this tour was the mountain safari or jungle safari where rode a jeep up to the  mountain as in road adventure. The roads were really bumpy, narrow and a bit scary for me. It was the most adventurous thing I have ever done. Anyway to continue my adventure story, we dropped by and have lunch at the peak of the mountain where there was a restaurant. The meal was a bit spicy because its a thai cuisine. And thats the time I chatted with my group. I came to know them that they were all British and they're in for honeymoon. Envy of me but that is life they were couples and I am single adventurous gayman(char).  Anyway its not a big deal for them. We talked anything under the sun and all thought out the tour we became friends.


After that tiring mountain safari, we went down to that magical river garden where you can feel the mysticism of the place because of its ambiance and you are going to be amazed of the rock formations there. They were all sculpted from dwarf to fairies to enchanted monkeys etc by the owner of that forest farm. And then we headed to the living mummified monk temple-where you can really feel the love of thais for him. For they really adored him with flowers and offered him food etc. Next stop was the Namuang falls where we hiked for about 10 minutes. In this falls where I got to experienced the natural fish spa on my feet. Actually, I was just curious why the locals put their feet dip on the water and the tour guide told me its bec.of the fish and that reminds me of my KL tour  last May with La Isla Bonitas. As in fish spa au naturale! because I'm with nature



I was really tired enough but then again there was another last spot to visit and that's the grand mother and father rock formations. The rock formations were really naughty indeed. And maybe that is where the inspiration of some thai sculpures came from. And then after that I was the first to dropped off in my hotel, though we're tired we still have the smiles in our face after we bid goodbyes and parted ways. The memories still fresh in my mind and that's what I cherished till now.

Note: Due to my negligence I do not have my own self photos but videos i got in you tube. The videos speaks for the tour actually. Enjoy!!
