<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: purple;"><b>Going to India without visiting the Taj Mahal is like missing the big important agenda.</b></span> When you are going for a trip or having a stopover, always make the opportunities - like what you do with Petronas Twin Tower, Kuala Lumpur for Malaysia, or Sydney Harbour Bridge, Australia or just a quick glimpse of Mount Fuji in Japan. <b><span style="color: red;">"Been There, Done That" </span></b>should be the motto, whether you travel as a normal tourist or just for business purpose. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">True to most people, even until today, photos taken with new friends or alliances at these iconic buildings would bring many warm memories throughout a lifetime. We are connected throughout these pictures in our own closed social network groups. Every picture has its own story and everytime the stories resurface when the members meet online, someone from the group <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>would come up with a newer, funnier and sort of unbelievable version (newer sub-plot to add to the main story)</b></span>. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In my own account, the Taj Mahal trip was always associated with <span style="color: orange;"><b>"Samosa"</b></span>. I did not know how it came about, with a few members kept associating it with my Taj Mahal pictures. I kept asking everyone and nobody would tell why. Only recently when a Delhi coursemate, Mr.Baharom, an Uzbek came visiting me in Kuala Lumpur for his three week course here, we had a long chat. Ah, memories were rekindled with a real face to face mini reunion, not online mode anymore. Funny when we had our coffees during the meeting, these <span style="color: orange;"><b>Samosas</b></span> was the choice for an afternoon snack. Since I earned my brownies to get him here, the story resurfaced again and he felt oblige to tell me the story - <span style="color: #783f04;"><b>The Samosa Saga.</b></span> What a simple twist of a funny incident which I wasn't aware at all. Itu jer ke..ingat kan apa. ahahahhahahaha...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Ok, enough of my bebels. So as promised, before i embark another great adventure somewhere outside Malaysia (chewah), I would finish my previous encounter. And this is the final post. The reason why I was in India because the iconic building is one of my bucket list, in which also my "berangan" future Lego buildings if I have enough money to buy the Lego Kit.Talking about visiting the place first and rebuild by your own imagination later!</span></div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">When we were in Rishikesh, I had this urge to book a bus ticket from one of the travel agents with the leftover allowance. Destination? Jaipur, Rajastan.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
A must see. No regret.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had about <b>RM300 to splurge for this short trip</b>. We took the bus trip back to Delhi, and on the way back to the hostel, I parted with all the coursemates of TERI in Qutb Minar Metro Station. Reason? Since <b>Gurgaon IFFCO Chowk Bus Station</b> is the last bus stop to go down south of Jaipur located within Delhi, it was feasible to get the bus from there just in case my bus from Rishikesh got stuck in the jam. So taking the metro would help me to save time instead getting a taxi from the hostel itself. Yes, my hunch was right. We reached New Delhi at about 10.30 pm and my bus departure was at 12 midnight.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, I took a sleeper bus, a deluxe type, <b>Rs650/ RM40</b> one way. The conductor boy took my heavy backpack, i settled down and just stared at my own cabin. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
My cabin was completely like a coffin on the go. I tell you next time if you have the chance to have a sleeper bus, just go try to board this type, no regret! My experiences with some express bus in Malaysia were horrendous so this bus was a life saver. I could have a long rest before one day tripping in the whole Pink City, ala express mode.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got down somewhere near the stadium area of the Pink City in the next early morning and looked for a place for a day's use. The plan was to cover as much as I could and to board a bus back to Delhi on the same night because I had to attend the class the next day. No ponteng ponteng ok. Going to Jaipur had caused my course instructor to worry on my safety, so just be sensible.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lucky the hotel I took charged me about <b>Rs.500/RM30</b> from 8am to 8pm. The hotel was kinda new. I like the interior, the cleanliness, the coziness inside despite the heavy and noisy traffic outside. Location? It was sandwiched between two block of buildings, a hidden gem for any traveler who stumbled the path.</div>

The City Palace is a must whenever you are in Jaipur. Located next to Jantar Mantar, which I had skipped, for a solo tourist, City Palace offers a self guided tour, in English and some other languages. Truly convenient for you to learn many things about the origin of the kings, how the state or kingdom was administered and other historical facts. </div>

Perhaps it has been sometime for me not to visit a museum, however I really applaud the City Palace's management to house a number of local artisan, in the next building with their work for display and sale. If you are running out of time or choice, just be here to admire the work and they would be happy to show you the story of the craft they make.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was planned for us to visit an area with higher elevation,lower than Kashmir range but cold enough to wear winter's clothing. However the plan was changed to visit <b>Haridwar</b> and later to <b>Rishikesh</b>, two districts somewhere up north of Delhi. To me, I have seen Himalaya range sometime ago in Nepal so giving Mukteshewar a miss due to the latest arrangement was not a big deal.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So what Haridwar and Rishikesh can offer to a bunch of foreigners?

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From my observation, Delhi has bigger and better road system connecting to the other satellite cities such as <b>Gurgaon</b> and <b>Noaida</b>. It later reach for another 100 kilometer to the outer zones outside the state, Haryana, three lane highway. So for the first two hour, the journey was pretty smooth until we took an exit from the main highway entering normal trunk road. The picture above shows the condition of a trunk road in the town, Haridwar. However it depends whether the city's location is in between two important areas such as industrial or agricultural zones, as long as it gives significant economic contribution to the country, the road tend to be bigger and better. Therefore not all places will have similar road condition like this example. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strike>Other than that, when the distance is 209 kilometers, do not expect the road to be like our PLUS Highway which you can do 100 km/h and reach within two hours time</strike>. It is like coming through the Bentong exit from Karak, passing Raub and Kuala Lipis on the way to Gua Musang or Kota Bharu which it takes longer time to reach your destination. And imagine since the festive season was around the corner, Diwali or Deepavali, many people traveled in buses and cars like those people from our own East Coast celebrating Hari Raya at their beloved kampung and hometown. Macam itu lah ceritanya. Sabar.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lucky we managed to check into a nice hotel in Haridwar. I was glad that the back pain did not trigger during this journey. Perhaps the bus suspension was a perfect 10. :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So the first thing that happened upon arrival and check-in process at the hotel, was of course the first site visit. Whoa, that must be something we need to see since it happens only at night, kan? Mr. Nitya, the tour leader requested us to be ready at 7.00 p.m sharp on the bus. Since the season was winter, maghrib time came early around 5.15 p.m so I had plenty of time to get shower, unpacked, have solat and the dinner. Gigih~!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So any occasion or special event to happen at this hour? Yes, the group was about to observe a special ceremony called Ganga Aarti in Haridwar. More information can be found <a href="http://goindia.about.com/od/spiritualplaces/ss/Ganga-Aarti-In-India.htm">here</a>.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;"><b>Ganga Aarti</b></span> is something new to me, kind of lucky to see this
event either in Haridwar, Rishikesh or Varanasi River. Many people came to
these places especially during the Diwali season to perform spiritual uplifting
by offering a lit lamp, </span><span style="background: white; color: #191919;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: start;">a small </span><em style="background-position: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: start;"><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0in;">diya</span></em><span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> with a candle and flowers to be floated in the river.</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"> </span></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #191919;"><span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white;"><span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #191919;">There are many families with members, old and young even children that makes this ceremony seems merry yet meaningful. Some of my Hindu friends performed the ritual by dipping their feet into the river, wash their face and had some prayers chanting. I asked one of the guy from Mauritius whether it was first time performing </span><span style="color: red;"><b>Ganga Aarti?</b></span><span style="color: #191919;"> He said yes and look very peaceful and content. I am not really a religious person but to have a chance like this when you are on a study trip was a blessing to these people. It makes you to be spiritually focused while to learn something for your work and expertise. Kalau kita dah panggil berkat la tu kan. macam sempat menunaikan umrah ketika bermusafir belajar. chewah. sapa tak mo kan?</span></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #191919;"><span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So enjoy all the shots here since I am not really an expert to explain and Mr. Nitya too was somewhere to perform his Ganga Aarti during this time. We had ample time to observe and also some shopping in nearby town.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I made my own way exploring the town, separating from the big group after the ceremony. Reason why? I need to have my own private moment to see things rather to stick the shopper's flock. If not, I tend to be cranky just to wait people finishing their bargaining. Not a shopper type. Terukkan. tapi takperlah, bila lagi nak menikmati suasana di sini, belum tentu nak datang lagi, sanggup? It was like being Kathmandu, Nepal only the street size is broader and cleaner. I guess being a holy city, cleanliness is one of the aspect to be a good follower..ehheheheh.</span></div>

It is well planned and clean, kinda touristy but we love it. Some of my friends claimed that the items perhaps a little bit expensive, but frankly I would recommend bargaining for a better deal. As for the traders, after having a long day would definitely be helpful to close more deals. My Tunisian friends came out with many bags. I guess they are very skillful when it comes to bargaining. Good negotiators.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The irony of keeping update of your travel blog is the tendency to pick up every single details, and of course carrying a small note book around during the trip may help, a lot. However, it depends on your multitasking thingy - clicking the camera for good photos, observing the place, make a mental note, make a written note. Now I know that a paid travel job sometimes can be demanding yet it is exciting - seeing new things everyday and feel grateful for it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The city tour of Delhi was one of the highlight of this course. We went by a bus booked by the institute, all of us in jovial mood. The journey to the first site, Qutab Minar was pretty interesting with bumps on the road chosen by the bus Driver, Mr. Singh. It has triggered a <strike>long lost friend of mine</strike>, the infamous back pain at the very beginning, however I have tried to ignore the Aunt Agony's trait knowing I was in some foreign land, cannot be too fussy.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The excursion was my first chance to have a glimpse of the real world outside TERI. I arrived in Delhi in a pitch dark night so I took many interesting photos just for a memory sake. You will never see something like this in coming 20 years. Trust me, development will change some landscape and yesteryear photos will be sought after (my theory lah, ahahahah). It was interesting that upon entering a village, the bus driver stopped for a toll fee. I was like what? OK, the idea was you are trespassing some private land, so tax is collected. Simple concept. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have realized the road we took brought us a good observation - how every corner allows people to conduct businesses with less binding laws or required permit. Also good for job creation and address the poverty issues. This is very practical compared to what we have in Malaysia. Creating a business need you to do a lot of thing such as registering, paying the fees, adhering regulation of setting premises and GST to add more cost for doing business. Things have been quite expensive lately. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At the end, profit earned could have been brutally axed by these deduction, which leave the consumers need to pay for it (sigh).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.qutubminar.org/">Qutab Minar</a> is a must for Delhi visitors.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the unique character of Humayun's Tomb are the gates built in 4 direction - North, South, East and West. All the gates look similar to me unfortunately. Sometimes you may get confused after coming out from the tomb and to find the gate you have entered in the first place. Lucky for us that Mr Ally reminded us earlier. Otherwise we would not be able to proceed for other site if any of us were somewhere else, missing in action. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During the visit I noticed another site was under construction but not sure which preservation was made next to Humayun's Tomb. The future visitors will have more sight to see after the completion. Later we took the bus for lunch in TERI's office, The Habitat. It was a long day for us, but worth every second to know Delhi better - culturally and historically.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alhamdulillah.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Life has been a blessing, in disguise which the offer came from High Commission of India to have 3 weeks course in the country would be definitely a life saver.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
whatever it means. Kinda bored with the job so i opted to go for this one. pretty burnt out with the office stuff.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, as usual to proceed entering a country with visa, you have to fill in the visa application form. Later the embassy will issue a flying return ticket, with some instruction - come back to your country immediately after the course end. No wandering. No extra day staying to go anywhere. Initially I planned to proceed for Kashmir-Jammu, but the time constraint travelling with extra penalty charge for changing the flight date may not be sensible. Yes, I was right after a few incident happened. Something back at home deterred me to do that kind of travelling.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, I am pretty happy to say within 3 weeks studying and going for some field trip, I managed to squeeze time for Jaipur. I would not regret to spend every cent on it. Believe me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Delhi.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What i can say about this metropolis?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is full of people, very service oriented, labor comes cheap, you have the money, there you go. What i mean is, language barrier comes second, service given and received would come first then you pay. As simple as that.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Upon arriving, I had feeling that I may be left unattended by the so called assigned taxi driver by the institution I was about to enroll to send me to my hostel in Gwal Pahari.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I took a cab, after due consideration of not spending the whole night in the airport. Lucky before I boarded the flight, some googling thingy in Malaysia for just in case scenarios did happen.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The most important thing is, if nobody to pick you at the airport in the wee hour in Delhi and metro train service was not operating those hours, just grab a cab. Not simply any cab you find outside the airport.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Try MERU cab. It is convenient, you can go out and ask the attendant to assign a cab driver for you, but it is kinda pretty expensive, but you would not give so much thought for your safety precaution, especially for a lady travelling alone.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first impression after you get yourselves into the cab, is how efficient the driver to find your place even it is his first time exploring the destination you want to go. He would be able to call the person you may give number to contact, lucky i managed to jot down on a piece of paper that number and it saved me a lot of inconvenience.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That was the first moment I had in Delhi. The rest can be described through my pictures. Enjoy them till you can.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Malam tadi teringin nak makan kebab sangat sangat.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Puaslah dicari kebab yang sedap dengan berjalan ke Bukit Bintang. Hampa kerana tiada yang berkenan di hati.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pada masa ini penulis masih bercuti bersalin dan tinggal seminggu untuk masuk kerja semula. Kali ini cuti tidak ke mana hanya berehat dan merawat diri dan hati. Anyhow I dedicated this post to my demised beloved Nur Zahirah Khan as she passed away during labour in Hospital Selayang. <strike>Tujuh keturunan i takkan jejak itu hospital! </strike> OK, stop meroyan. Back to the actual story. Yup I did not have intention to spread this sad news but previous posting has to do with travel. Travel with kids. Nak buek camno, tader rezeki. Tiada rezeki nak bawa baby berjalan Alhamdulilah, sempat travel dengan baby masa dalam kandungan. hidup perlu diteruskan ye dak?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sambung cerita trip kerja sambil mengembara di Turki awal tahun ini, bandar seterusnya selepas Istanbul adalah Ankara.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Seperti mana semua orang tahu Ankara merupakan bandar pusat pemerintahan kerajaan Turki. Ala ala Putrajaya gittew, tapi Ankara ni ada tempat bersejarah dengan namanya Old Ankara Citadel dan Ankara Castle. Sesiapa yang ke sini juga boleh melawat Makam Attartuk. tapi penulis tidak sempat kerana mengejar penerbangan balik.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cerita bermula apabila penulis berkampung di Ministry of Economy, Republic of Turkey selama tiga hari kerana menghadiri mesyuarat. Sudah penat berpok pek dengan orang orang Turki menjalankan rundingan ya penulis cuma koordinator, tak perlu mencelah masuk sekadar mengambil nota, dapatlah membuat tinjauan serba sedikit. sambil menyelam minum air katanya. Dipendekkan cerita, bangunan kementerian ini unik kerana kafeteria terletak di tingkat paling atas. Maknanya boleh lah menjamu mata hirup kopi panas sambil layan pemandangan kan. Suka konsep ini. Kalau bangunan kerajaan di Putrajaya macam ini, seronoklah staf kan. Putrajaya dah cantik. dapat top view lagi cantik--->sekadar cadangan eheheheh.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Maka, ke roof top cafe kementerian tersebut saya membuat tinjauan.</div>

Memandangkan jadual yang padat, tidaklah dapat kami meluangkan masa menziarahi beberapa tempat bersejarah. Kot mana pun untuk mengubat hati yang lara, dibawa kami melalui beberapa tempat menarik di sekitar Ankara selintas lalu. At least dapatlah menjamu mata dengan pemandangan ye tak. Arah ke tempat dituju akan nampak Old Citadel yang merupakan salah satu tempat harus dilawati kalau anda berada di sana. Pada kali ini kami tidak berpeluang melawat Ankara Castle kerana kesuntukkan masa.</span></div>

Setelah hampir dua jam kami menghabiskan masa membeli barangan yang dihajati, tetiba rasa lapar dan dahaga walau cuaca di Ankara pada masa itu sejuk kerana musim sejuk (antara 15 - 17 celcius waktu tengahari). Maka dicarinya gerai untuk minum dan makan tengahari. Paling best boss pula mahu belanja kami makan kebab.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am inspired to continue my entry for Nepal this time, after watching a late night Bollywood film with hub last night, Kathmandu came suddenly into the scene. How memorable it was until Hub even mentioned his desire to visit the country! sebab dia plak terlebih excited. LOL</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One of our must-visit places during that 2012 trip was Chitwan National Park, located in the southern region of Nepal, 30 km from India-Nepal border. I wished that we too had Indian visa to border cross but of course it was not doable due to the time limit.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My driver took us into this village area of Sauraha. As we descended from the highland to the flatland, things were getting pretty exciting when we see paddy field, cows or buffalos and some farming activities. It reminds us a lot to our kampung too, like Kedah and other northern region. The journey from Pokhara to Chitwan National Park took almost the entire day with some stop to have nature calls and lunch.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I can say Sauraha was the best thing happened during the entire trip. We met cool people who were not reluctant to be open and fun with the visitors, in many good ways. My tour guide brought us to this place for stay - Hotel Rainforest. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The friendship established between the visitors and the staff are amazing, still a facebook buddy to my guide, Mr. Arpan Guni and Mr. Buddha too, the chief among them all. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Somehow it reminds me to my Outward Bound School (OBS) Experience in Lumut Perak.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">Chitwan National Park is a protected region of wild life so you will not see any people hunting the animals or to take any thing out of the forest except for the locals who are granted with special permission to gather herbs or wood material for their industrial usage. In the event of villagers being attacked by the wild life, there will be a special fund that pays the local some money. Dead crocodile carcasses or dead crocodile skin are not allowed to be taken out from this area too, so will see a number of them in this park without any harm.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dear Readers,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It has been some time not to update this blog, but I hope it will give many insight and </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">knowledge to new readers and visitors, for whatever reasons. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyhow, I would like to wish Selamat Berpuasa to Muslim readers. It has been more than 10 days now when fasting is observed, but with endless Israel's attack on Gaza for now, Syawal is just another celebration. Not really a joyous one, I guess :(</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As of current, I am busy with personal matters. Family wise, I am soon to be a mother and about time to deliver , so traveling is no-no at the moment, rehat kat rumah cukup :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of going places, the last trip taken was to Beijing and Qingdao, China for work purpose. Insya Allah, there will be ample time to share the stories when I have my blissful 3 months of maternity leave! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Being a mother is a rewarding experience and it is more fulfilling to travel with kids.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New memories created, photos captured for remembrance and of course the experience managing a small platoon (insya allah if i can bear more) should be the way to travel in future.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Lawatan kerja yang tidak dijangka tetapi alhamdulillah rezeki setelah hampir dua tahun di kementerian, dapat jugalah merasa berjalan ke negara orang. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Pemergian kali ini mengiringi delegasi yang mempunyai visi dan misi yang perlu diselesaikan. Sebagai officer, aku belum pernah melakukan tugasan sebagai pengiring atau sebenarnya co-ordinator pasukan ke luar negara, maka agar gusar juga hati ku ini. Berbekalan pengalaman berjalan sendiri membawa beberapa rakan ke beberapa buah negara, cuma kali ni level boss-boss, expectation tu agak tinggi kerana negara ini tidak pernah ku jejak, tambahan pula kesibukan menyiapkan tugasan persediaan tidak membolehkan aku membuat kajian mendalam. Mengharapkan kedutaan Malaysia di Ankara dalam tempahan hotel dan pengangkutan, aku serahkan sepenuhnya kepada Encik Syahrul, pegawai yang menguruskan logistik. Alhamdulillah semuanya lancar.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Penerbangan ke Istanbul mengambil masa hampir 11 jam dari KLIA. Lega kali ini penerbangan boleh ditingkat tarafkan kepada kelas perniagaan. Maka tidak perlu lenguh lenguh badan untuk duduk di dalam pesawat. Pada mulanya aku juga tertanya bagaimana nak mengelakkan jet lag sebab tak pernah naik pesawat lebih dari 8 jam. Setelah dikira dari waktu bertolak iaitu jam 12 malam, dan tiba di Turki jam enam pagi, aku andaikan baik aku layan tidur jer sepanjang penerbangan kerana bila pagi itu kami sampai, kami akan segar bugar untuk pergi ke destinasi seterusnya. Macam naik bas ekspress dari Kota Bharu ke Seremban. Dulu dulu di TKC, kalau naik bas malam macam ni lah keadaannya. Bila dapat dinaik taraf kelas penerbangan, kemudahan lain seperti Golden Lounge sudah tentu tidak dilepaskan. So, aku cepat cepat bertolak dari rumah ke KLIA. Dapatlah duduk sejam dua sambil melayan emel emel saat akhir dalam persediaan mesyuarat kami.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Tiba di Atartuk International Airport, urusan imigresen ternyata mudah dengan Priority Pass untuk penumpang kelas perniagaan. Yang lain terpaksa beratur panjang. Maka boleh disimpulkan sekiranya ingin merasa keselesaan, jika ada lebihan, bolehlah dibelanjakan kepada perkara sebegini. Tetapi sebagai seorang traveler yang tidak suka mengikut rombongan, tidak mengapa kot beratur panjang.Nak kejar apa kan?</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Alhamdulillah urusan bagasi di lapangan terbang ini amat mudah, kami terus keluar untuk menaiki van yang telah ditempah kedutaan menuju ke hotel penginapan di sekitar Taksim Square. Pada mulanya aku tidak menempah hotel berhampiran kawasan Sultanahmet (tumpuan ramai pelancong) seperti yang dicadangkan oleh seorang rakan. Boss kata cuba cari this hotel, dengan namanya kerana sangat direcommend oleh orang wisma putra. Rupanya ada keistimewaannya menginap kawasan ini. Nanti aku cerita.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Perjalanan dari airport ke hotel mengambil masa kurang setengah jam. Sepanjang perjalanan kami disajikan dengan pemandangan kawasan perumahan rakyat Turki yang rata rata tinggal di apartment bertingkat rendah tetapi buatannya elok sekali dari rekabentuk dan bercita rasa mewah. Aku amat kagum dengan pembangunan pesat Istanbul kerana bagi kota yang banyak menyimpan sejarah silam, pembangunan mungkin terhenti kerana kekurangan tanah atau kawasan. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Apabila kami tiba di Hotel Marmara Taksim, kami check in baggage dulu kerana kebanyakkan bilik masih berstatus ready untuk dihuni. Maka ketua delegasi, Mr. Ravi mencadangkan kami refresh dulu untuk bersiar siar di sekitar Istanbul.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">Sebenarnya, lokasi hotel kami betul betul strategik. Kenapa? Kerana ia adalah berhampiran dengan shopping district dan sangat accessible ke Sultanahmet untuk melawat tempat tempat bersejarah melalui tunnel train dan tram. Area Taksim Square ni ala-ala Bukit Bintang. Bak kata seorang ahli delegasi, jika malam terasa sunyi, boleh turun minum kopi dan melayan gelagat rakyat dan pelancong berpusu pusu terutamanya pada waktu sale. Kalau rasa keperluan nak mendapatkan pakaian, kasut atau apa apa yang diperlukan, memang disyorkan tinggal di kawasan sebelum ke destinasi lain di Turki. Boleh bandingkan harga di sini dan tempat lain. Kiranya tidak rugi lah kami menginap di sini kerana ternyata aku memerlukan sepasang kasut kerja dan cuba teka harga yang diperolehi dengan kualiti menyamai hush puppies atau Snow Fly brand? 20 Lira sahaja. satu lira bersamaan 1.5 ringgit, lagi murah daripada matawang Singapura. baru dok ada dekat RM30. amik ko! Kiranya Indirim atau "Rebate" yang ditawarkan semasa sale memang buat shopaholics akan lupa diri sekejap. Patutla ada rakan yang gila shopping kalau ke negara negara Eropah. Penangan sale begini memang orang yang bukan kaki shopping akan juga terheret sama. Mujurlah mak masih lagi ingat bahawa lawatan kerja perlulah dilakukan secara berhemah, bukan shopping gila sakan. Okla sambung cerita berjalan.... </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Kami mengambil keputusan untuk menaiki pengangkutan awam iaitu train di bawah tanah dan juga sambungan melalui Tram ke Sultanahmet. Harga tambang agak mahal kerana memerlukan dua token untuk kedua dua jenis pengangkutan satu hala. Satu token memerlukan tiga lira =RM4.50. Pegi balik adalah RM18 hokeh. quite expensive la sebab jarak pun bukan jauh sangat tapi tak sanggup la nak menapak. Kiranya kalau nak murah carilah apa apa offer tambang pass seharian ker, tapi mak tidak lah membuat kajian menjalan. Asal dapat jalan cukup. Stesen metro terletak betul betul di hadapan hotel iaitu di Taksim Square sendiri. Memang accessible. Cuma nak pesan, ala ala korea, kene la memanjat tangga yer. tiada lif utk yang kurang mampu dan berdaya. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">keistimewaan sistem metro Istanbul adalah binaan dinding yang menyimpang sejarah silam. Mengingatkan mak pada dinding tunnel subway Sydney juga, blok batu besar besar gitu yang pasti melambangkan sistem metro bawah tanah yang lama telah bertapak. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Mungkin mak ni tidak begitu expose dengan sistem keretapi bawah tanah, tapi yang mak notice, tunnel di Istanbul ni tidak la rata permukaannya seolah olah train bergerak menuruni curam dan menaiki curam... sebab tu pada mulanya sangkaan mak hanya mak rasa macam tu so bila ditanya ahli lain, baru kami perasaan. Sorryla mak tak berkesempatan mengambil gambar sistem rel mereka. Bagi surprise sikit kepada readers yang nak pergi. Oh ya, kami tidak menaiki kereta api metro tetapi mengambil Funicular.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Berdasarkan pengalaman bos-bos yang pernah melawat Istanbul, adalah digalakkan pegi ke area Sultanahmet dulu iaitu Hagia Sofia/ Blue Mosque/ Topkapi baru layan Grand Bazaar dan seterusnya Spice Market. Aku notice antara Grand Bazaar dan Spice Market, Grand Bazaar terletak pada kedudukan lebih tinggi sedikit maka kalau nak menapak baik turun daripada mendaki. Begitulah kaedahnya. Unless korang sanggup mendaki, tapi bagi mak nak mendaki cuaca sejuk tader masalah, yang cuma agak rimas adalah lautan manusia tu, kot kalau rasa sesak, haruslah bertabah sahaja.</span></div>

Untuk melayan Grand Bazaar, dicadangkan untuk mendapatkan map agar senang nanti mencari jalan keluar. Aku pun tak berapa pasti gate mana yang kami masuk, sebab Grand Bazaar ni ada banyak gate, dan Gate keluar ke Spice Market dah hafal siap siap. <u>Gate 15</u> ehheheheh. Barang yang dicari pun terletak di Spice Market maka di Grand Bazaar ni kureng perhatian lah sikit Jenuh jugak nak lelama di dalam sebab barangan di sini banyak pilihan. Agak rambang mata tapi dalam hati kata, menyesal tak simpan duit shopping ehehhehehe.</span><br />

Banyak kedai di kanan kiri jalan - kedai jual kemeja, t-shirt, pakaian dalam, pakaian pengantin, kasut beg tangan kulit, meriah u olls... Bagi yang nak makan, ada gerai kebab dan gerai jus delima segar. something different kan. Alhamdulillah di sini makanan yang dijual halal halal belaka. Tak perlu pening pening tanya.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Aku pun turut membeli beberapa helai kemeja untuk hubby. Kes? sebab saiz dia memang ada. tu yang grab ajer.Kualiti kemeja pun not bad, lot better than what you can find in mydin, between alain delon dan Bonia gittew tetapi ni jenama local turkey. so kalau rasa nak shopping kemeja kapas, skirt atau jubah yang elok sikit, boleh lah start merancang. Sebagai contoh, kemeja lelaki dari kain kapas boleh dibeli sekitar 15 lira (RM22.50) gittew. Murah betul. Pelbagai warna dan corak. Jubah yang kain tebal paling murah dalam 40-50 lira. You figure. Kesimpulan, Istanbul memang heaven untuk shopping.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There were some trips in the past plus hotel stay which I think is good to be posted here.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">However due to limitation of time, I may cover bit by bit, and hopefully I am able to finish these before the year end. Picking up the pieces is not easy but I need to write again, for the sake of remembering them and when friends and families asking for tips, blog will be easier to refer, isn't it?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This is the best trip so far I think, since being bogged down with work throughout the year. I took the opportunity during my work trip, to spend a day outside and guess it was nice that we had our trip in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It is better to go on holiday rather to spend time (business plus leisure) if you are the <span style="color: red;"><b>ORGANISER.</b></span> Not many chances to be on your own since other participants may want to have you around to ensure the work part is settled.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There were tips can be learn from this Kundasang outing. You need to spend at least a night in Kundasang to see the sunrise in the next day with no cloud formation for the best view of the mountain. Two hours journey is doable but going to one spot and another within one day is pretty rushing, I think. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We took a van from a travel agency. Service is so and so, I would not really recommend this one since the person does not get back to me after I texted him some feedback.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I would expect this person to at least explain why one of the items in the itinerary went missing. But of course to compare the inbound tourism industry dengan yang ada di luar sana, not fair lah kan. Tepuk dada tanya selera. I consider myself as a very fussy tourist when it comes to tour paid services.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">It takes about 21 km from Kundasang to Luanti. The fish spa at Tagal Sungai Moroli Luanti is good but the water is so murky due to raining, quite a let down if you want to have that clear crystal water for photos shoot. Food for fish is sold for RM1 per packet. entrance fee is RM15 per person for 15 minutes. You have to line up to have your turn to go down into the river, a little bit restrictive considering the river can be quite OK to what I have seen in Taman Negara Kuala Tahan. Kiddies pool level I can say, ehheheheh. Since we had been in Luanti, prior to arrive this spot, you can also have a stop in Poring Hot Spring. We could not have the place due to negligence of the tour operator who did not include the item in the itinerary. The reason I was a little bit upset but never mind, there will be always time to come again for another visit.</span></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">After we had our lunch in Kundasang, we went straight to Desa Dairy Farm which was really worth the journey during this entire trip Why? The weather is cool, though it was raining when we arrived. The view is really breathtaking (seriously, it prompts me to go similar place after this) and I do think this is the highlight of this tour. Nothing else. However due to mass tourism the place could not cater many visitors at one time. Too many visitors queuing up to purchase the milk and the food. Nevertheless, the new on going structure being built for a cafe/restaurant is something better for the future visitors.<br /><br />For parents, kids would definitely love the idea of feeding the calves. Be prepared to spare cash purchasing grass for the animals. Without I realise, I have spent around RM10.00 just for the purpose, but it was definitely a good distraction for kids to be able to remember the moment in Kundasang. In good playful way.</span></td></tr>

The weather became worse when the rain kept pouring and we even did not have the chance to be able to walk in the Botanical Garden. Nothing much we could do except to sit and get some rest on a comfortable sofa after almost 2 hour journey from Kundasang. Fortunately Kinabalu Park does come with an information centre where exhibits of flora and fauna preserve and sample of rock formation were displayed. Nothing much spectacular since we have missed the video time with daily show at 2 p.m.<br /><br />For the mountain climbers, Kinabalu Park is the entrance to begin their journey of climbing.</span></td></tr>

<br />
The journey from Kathmandu Valley to Pokhara, by Malaysian highway standard may takes 3-4 hours but knowing we were in Nepal, the road condition can be compared to 10x worse than Gua Musang-Merapoh route, i hope u get it.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, the scenic breathtaking view captured our hearts with turquoise colour flowing rivers (great for whitewater rafting) and paddy terrace along the road makes it more dramatic. yeah, I never seen a traditional brick kiln but I tell you what, it was something I never see even in Nat Geo. cool!<br />
<br />
We were going downhill, happens that Pokhara is in lower altitude from Kathmandu Valley and Trisuli River was next to the highway. We made some stop at several places,just to capture some photos and attending to our nature calls.<br />

I was thinking, perhaps if we are more than 5 person, we would have fun doing whitewater rafting in that river. It was such a waste to come all the way but the three of us are not rafting expert, we never even whitewater before! All of us were tempted but of course, I did not want to pose risks on my fellow travellers, so perhaps in the future, perhaps.....</div>

My heart grew excited to see people, treating this highway as a flow to their slow paced life. House are built just near the road, people stay outside to bask themselves in the morning sunlight while the weather was cool. We saw many women in their sari and shawl carrying water containers to the public water pump, kids playing with friends and men sitting under the tree playing cards. How I wish my life is that simple and free like that~! Nepalese people are so lucky to have this unspoiled nature for their surrounding, especially when they have a clean and beautiful river at the back of their houses. Yup, my friend who hails from Temerloh kept on commenting that Pahang River should be like Trisuli, not in that light teh tarik colour. Development versus Nature. This is life, isn't it?</div>

As we arrived and checked-in the hotel (luckily we have changed it before coming), it was already dark outside. The next morning definitely would be another exciting day, which was to see the sunrise from Sarangkot Hill.</div>

We woke up very early at 4 a.m, as instructed by the driver, Raj and he took us to this place called Sarangkot. I contacted a friend who used to work in Nepal before, and he recommended us instead of Nagarkot, Sarangkot offers better sunrise view over Annapurna Range. Yes, he was right!</div>

It happened that we are the earliest bunch of enthusiasts coming and booked our spot to the observation deck. I was not sure how much was being paid, but there are some free decks for other observers. Subhanallah, when I noticed how the stars from the sky looked bigger from this altitude point, it makes sense how NK kept on telling the stars look better from his Swat Valley in Pakistan. How I wish I was there with him to see this!</div>

Ok back to the story. We almost gave up on the sunrise as we waited almost 2 hours, but when the sun cast the first light onto the mountains, it was a mouth gaping experience~! Time stood still and people were quiet...some of the travelers came a little bit late but they were already pretty excited clicking cameras for the shots.....</div>

Bak kata orang, nak travel memerlukan fulus, maka haruslah difikirkan apa kaedah mendapatkannya, ye tak. Unless the trip is all paid, yg pegi bawak badan jerla. This year is the year for me to travel broader for work. Leisure? Mungkin mampu utk rantau ASEAN. Duit pun kene simpan utk kawin. Dah sampai la masanya nak pegi berjalan berdua atau bertiga, asyik tengok orang seronok, aku pun mau jugak. Tapi plan itu mungkin ditangguhkan ke 2014 sbb tuan empunya badan katanya, nak balik sana at least standby la RM5k. Huhu. Anyhow, setelah dicongak dan intip intip dengan para boss,  berkemungkinan besar inilah yg akan terjadi:-</p>
<p>FEBRUARI 2013 - LEGOLAND, HELLO KITTY, JB (TRIP BAWAK ANAK,melengkapi must have for theme park section).Walau ramai yg dah pegi kata Legoland adalah panas, takkan nak tunggu Malaysia ada musim spring atau autumn, baru nak pegi kan?</p>
<p>APRIL/MEI 2013 - Insyallah, ANKARA, TURKI - trip keje yg aku rasa agak tidak best sbb sorang kawan akan ke kursus jangka panjang. Yg jadi pecacai angkat beg adalah saya. Great place for leisure travel tapi for work aku rasa berserabut la kapla sbb nak menyediakan line roaming yg mantap, nak menyusun bagai. Being a junior coordinator for this mission adalah menjadi cabaran yg paling pahit dan manis so far. Apa apa pun aku mau jugak bawak balik Turkish Delight dan karpet Turki, muahahahah. </p>
<p>MEI 2013 (penghujung) - masih dlm perancangan.BALI, INDONESIA. Trip bersama geng lepak and housemate.all girls vacation for weekend getaway. Kami cadang nak tunggu jer pelancaran Malindo Air tu, manalah tau ada promo gila gila bak inaugural Ke Sydney oleh Scoot Singapore. Xpun naikla apa jua flight asal kami pegi ke mana mana.</p>
<p>JULAI-OGOS 2013 - Insyallah, NEW DELHI, INDIA. Trip keje, mungkin aku jugak akan mrnjadi pecacai angkat beg dan fail. Xperla, aku teruja sebab kawan aku ada kat sana di Kedutaan Malaysia. Kawan baik laks tu. Yeay. Penat woo jaga desk India,nila masanya aku nak membalas dendam sbb dah letih stayback deal with the Customs there ari ari.</p>
<p>SEPTEMBER - DISEMBER 2013 - kosong. Doa byk mintak bos antar kursus jauh jauh.ehehehe.</p>
<p>JAN/FEB 2014 - PAKISTAN - trip balik kampung lawat sedara mara, peshawar, karachi  dan lahore dan juga some trip melawat banjaran Karakoram, banjaran gunung K2.  Yg ni aku paling teruja. Sbb apa? Aku ada rancangan nak buat broder crossing ke Kabul,Afghanistan, boleh?. Kampung betul-betul sebelah sempadan Pakistan-Afghan, 40km from the border, you!. Whoa, che abe dah janji sbb dia kata xder hal. He is a pashtun, bahasa sama, xder masalah. Yg penting, clearance cukup, doa bebanyak for this one supaya selamat. The only thing i need to do is wearing Burqa most of the time, self drive and my registered name to travel there will be something kinda poyo but nice - Jazmin Nasir Khan (JNK). Layan. Yang ni aku look forward, biarla aku nak berangan angan dari sekarang, boleh?</p>
<p>So what is your travel plan? </p>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tempat pertama dikunjungi adalah Monkey Temple atau <b>Syayambhunath,</b> salah satu Unesco Heritage Site yang menjadi tarikan utama di Kathmandu. Perjalanan ke sana amat menarik kerana ia terletak agak jauh dari Thamel maka transport perlulah ada untuk ke sana. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kuil ini agak terpinggir dari ibu kota. Nak kata kuil tak jugak, ia sebenarnya tokong buddha, tetapi di sini buddha dan hindu diasimilasikan begitu sahaja, maka ia boleh menjadi kedua-duanya. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sepanjang perjalanan, kami disajikan dengan pemandangan keliling Lembah Kathmandu. The road can be a bit bumpy but it was pleasant with less traffic, thankfully it was quite a short journey to reach there.</span></div>

Suasana macam kenduri pun ada, sebab ada yang berkampung di luar kuil. kalau keadaan macam ni adalah hari biasa, tak taulah kalau waktu perayaan. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Van membawa kami menaiki bukit menuju ke entrance sebenar. boleh mendaki naik sendiri tapi tak dapekla mak, bukan devotee pun. entrance fee untuk local adalah 50 rupee untuk local dan 200 untuk tourist. Ingatkan bila sampai entrance, itulah point of attraction, rupanya kene mendaki jugak. Alahai, terpaksala kami mendaki untuk sampai ke atas dan akhirnya, memang berbaloi panjat ahahahahhahah.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Perasaan sangat teruja menyaksikan suasana yang meriah di atas kuil ini. Masakan tidak, dah macam perayaan apabila dapat menyaksikan devotees melaksanakan aktiviti ibadah yang jarang kita nampak di Malaysia, in fact aku rasa tak pernah ada macam ni pun. Di dalam kesibukan mereka, terdapat kumpulan wanita yang sibuk menyediakan juadah makan tengahari di satu sudut kuil tersebut. Rupanya mengikut tour guide aku, mereka berkampung sepanjang perayaan ( Indra Jatra dalam bulan September, Dasain. sehingga Newari New Year termasuk Deepavali dalam November ). Ya sesuai betul la timing pergi masa ni. Cuma kami tidak berkesempatan nak tengok Indra Jatra tu yang melibatkan Living Goddess, Kumar Devi. </span></div>

Abes aku test tanya dan dia berjaya menjawab tanpa was was. ahahahhahahahha. Bagi aku sebagai seorang Nepalese boy yang dibesarkan di Kathmandu, memang dia ni best. Aku recommend sesiapa nak amik dia sebagai free lance tour guide di Kathmandu, amekla... tak rugi. in fact dia ni aku rasa ada future yang cerah kalau dia dah abes belajar and kerja la kat mana-mana.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">Setelah berpuas hati dengan Monkey Temple, kami meneruskan perjalan ke Patan iaitu UNESCO Heritage Site kedua. Perjalanan dari Monkey Temple ke Patan agak lama disebabkan trafik yang semakin menggila. Tetapi harus di lawati tempat ini kerana ia ternyata memberi kesan WOW lagi hebat dari site pertama. I am not sure how much for the entrance fee untuk Durbar Square, tapi what can I tell you, memang WOW bila sampai di sana. Seolah-olah kita di bawa ke zaman silam. Timeless. Rasa macam dibawa ke zaman kegemilangan Malla King memerintah 2000 BC ko.... menurut Paras, Raja Gourkha yang kemudian menakluk lembah Kathmandu mengekalkan tinggalan Malla Kings ini dan dipelihara sebaik-baiknya walau kerajaan itu berlainan era. Macam tu baru best, rakyat takkan marah kalau pemerintahan kerajaan baru mengambil alih. Ya, Durbar adalah perkataan nepal untuk Istana, maka kita akan dijamukan dengan pemandangan istana dan istana kecil untuk para raja, permaisuri dan anak mereka. Pengaruh hindu amat kuat di Durbar Square di mana setiap bangunan diukir amat halus sekali.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cerita di sebalik ukiran tersebut amat menarik. Dikatakan pada zaman dahulu, ketika rakyat begitu taksub beribadah sehingga Raja dinasti Malla tersebut amat risau kerana rakyatnya kuat sembahyang dan lupa keperluan duniawi. Sang Raja risau jika tiada populasi dihasilkan di mana ia melemahkan kekuatan negara tersebut juga dan timbul idea menyuruh para artisan mengukir ukiran-ukiran tersebut dengan mesej, keperluan fizikal atau jasmani juga penting selain memenuhi kehendak spiritual. Tu dia, sampai begitu sekali taat rakyat terhadap agama dan raja, maka apabila rakyat melihat ukiran tersebut untuk mengingatkan mereka, it is Ok to...... kesian kawan aku yang innocent tak pasal aku tunjuk tapi ya lah, in certain civilization, not every of them they are quite open, so please accept with open mind melihat gambar di atas, muahahhahah.</span></div>

Sempat singgah membeli souvenir dan postcard untuk rakan di Malaysia. Menariknya aku dan rakan sempat singgah mencuba keajaiban the singing bowl. Asyik woo, main main ngan singing bowl tu, kesan terapi untuk menenangkan minda tu memang power. Aku jugak sempat mencuba satu lagi kaedah rawatan zaman silam dengan meletakkan mangkuk logam di kepala dan di palu untuk menghilang migraine. Berkesan jugak, sayang seribu kali sayang, harga sebiji mangkuk adalah RM500, whoa, mahalnya tapi pure copper ko!</span></div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">Kami menaiki pesawat MAS dari KLIA ke Kathmandu, seawal jam 9.00 pagi dan dijangka tiba jam 11.50 pagi waktu tempatan Nepal (2 jam lewat dari waktu Malaysia).</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Perasaan menaiki pesawat MAS kali ini tidaklah begitu mengujakan kerana penerbangan 4 jam dengan pesawat yang agak kecik (saiz 737 jer) berbanding pengalaman menaiki Airbus AirBus Air Asia X ternyata berbeza. Nak ke tandas pun beratur lama sebab tandas tak banyak..</div>

Too bad, compared to flyscoot.com ari tu, MAS agak dah drop la dari segi layanan. Bukan faktor hensem ker lawa cabin crew, tapi kalau dah abis jus kat troli, toksahlah bitchy kata geng troli sebelah mengebas. sangat tak pro. kita nak fuss free service, taknak dengar masalah korang, ahahhahahahhaha.</div>

Setibanya di airport, proses mendapatkan Visa On Arrival (VOA) bermula... untuk lawatan selama 15 hari, yuran adalah USD25. amek ko, 15 hari jer. kira buat duit keje kerajaan Nepal ni. Kat situ dah nampak cekik darah sebab kalau trekking pasti 15 hari tidak mencukupi untuk cover visa tu. Rate mengikut hari tapi aku tak amik port sebab bukan nak lama. 8 hari cukup.<br />

Setelah kami keluar dari pintu airport, dah nampak dari gate, nama aku dah kat kadbod yang pasti kalau pegi tour, memang macam tu la kekdahnya, ada yang menyambut . Mak jemah bukan apa, nak pegi buat itinerary sendiri tak berapa lagi terer untuk negara macam ni, kene yang dapat kaki putar alam, potong terus mood bercuti. Alhamdulillah, si Ram, owner tour agency menyambut kami dengan senyuman dan sebuah van yang super selesa gayanya. Terasa macam orang kaya kaya jer travel sebab van di atas untuk kitaorang tiga orang jer... masuk bandar Kathmandu, lagi la terasa, sebab van sebesar van kami, sarat ngan penduduk tempatan macam tin sardin, kami pun takleh buat apa. tengok jer.<br />
<br />
First time in my life, seeing a very chaotic city. insaf terus. betapa trafik di jalanan menggila waktu puncak di bandar kathmandu. bunyi hon bermaharajalela. Traffic light tak dak, yang control trafik adalah polis trafik sendiri. Satu pengalaman yang sangat berharga. Kalau tengok kepadatan penumpang sesuatu kenderaan, kot accident teruk, memang tatau sapa punya kaki tangan badan dan kepala kalau dah bekecai kecuali penumpang yang dok atas bumbung bas sebab dah tercampak dah kat mana, nauzubillah nak jadi macam tu, memang takdak safety feature langsung in their public transport. kira tanggung sendiri la risiko nak naik bas mereka. Nyawa macam takder harga. Sorry babe, aku tak rela. Memang betul kata Lonely Planet, Kathmandu itself a maddening town!<br />
<br />
Kami dibawa ke hotel yang direquest oleh aku sendiri, Hotel Samsara di Thamel Street sebab berdasarkan syor kawan yang dah pegi Nepal dengan syarikat tour yang sama. Lantakla kalau nak kene bayar hotel elok sikit, sebab i tell you, yang agak affordable dari USD85-USD90 semalam, standard dia lagi rendah dari Hotel Bajet ala Tune Hotel tu. Bantal dan tilam toksah cerita, lagi best rumah aku punya yang pasti. 4Cuma ada breakfast jerla. layan. Malam tu kami merayau di sekitar Thamel membuat window shopping barang yang nak dibeli tapi terbeli jugak sebab tak tahan tengok.<br />

So keesokkan harinya, setelah termakan pujuk rayu Ram, kami bercadang untuk mencuba Mountain Flight ke Everest. perasan orang kaya sungguh sebab kalau tak layan rugi plak sebab cuaca sangat best dengan tiada awan yang melindungi puncak, kira the best season nak layan flight ni pun. Harga mountain flight ni, USD170 untuk penerbangan selama 55 minit mengelilingi banjaran, telan air liur kejap, tapi cuba pujuk hati, bila lagi kan? Bukan senang gak nak mendaki Everest semata mata nak tengok puncak dari jarak dekat, maka bila difikir faktor kewangan, masa dan tenaga empat kerat nak mendaki, layan jerla sebab tak nak susah susah. nak daki ke Everest Base Camp pun dah dua minggu. Ni kira express rakyat la.<br />
<br />
Seawal jam 5.30 pagi, cuaca pun dah terang macam pukul 7 waktu Malaysia, kami dijemput oleh Kumar, pemandu van kami ke Lapangan terbang Domestik. Perasaan? ahahahah tak leh nak describe tengok local airport mereka. Kalau ko rasa LCCT tu macam Pudu Raya, yang ni macam ko nak masuk Pasar Siti Khadijah ahahhahahahahh. Bersih<br />

Boleh bayangkan kesusahan nak mendaki sebab bukan semua yang mempunyai kudrat dan kemahiran yang diperlukan. Tergamam aku tengok sebab teringat citer 2012 yang konon kalau bah besar melanda, cukup makan jer puncak ni nak berdiri tanpa ditenggelami air.

Salah satu banjaran yang juga menarik perhatian kami dengan kedalaman dan ketinggian puncak ini. Memang tak terpanjat den kalau disuruh mendaki. Curam benar!<br />

Kira memang terbaek la sebab tengok salji dan glacier for the first time di puncak gunung tertinggi di dunia walau tak pernah pegang, kira lepas ni tak der kisah sangat pun kenkawan nak citer kehebatan swiss alp di Eropah or southern alps tu sebab yang paling best semua ada kat sini. cuma nak meluncur turun jer tak boleh, kan. syukur di usia muda ni, antara penumpang penumpang pesawat, kami la paling muda, yang lain semua yang dah berusia dan pencen pencen. depa pun gelak tengok kami kecoh dalam flight.

Kami diberikan peta mengenai puncak puncak yang terdapat di banjaran ini sambil dibantu oleh stewardess kecik molek yang menerangkan nama sekiranya kami melewati puncak puncak itu. Terasa diriku begitu berharga. Untuk mengatasi mabuk pesawat, tiada jus oren atau kacang diberi kecuali segelas air kosong yang dituang serta gula-gula. hmmmm takleh kata apa lar, limited budget kot. Yang pasti misi kami berjaya nak tengok Puncak Everest tu. Selepas pesawat mula meninggalkan kawasan tersebut dan menuju ke lapangan terbang, sekali lagi ujian kedua adalah pendaratan yang agak menjunam sedikit sebab landasan takderlah panjang sangat (Ya Nepal mempunyai 70 Airport, salah satu yang paling berbahaya di dunia sebab kalau tak dapat takeoff sure jatuh gaung punya).<br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Payah jugak nak mencari pakej pelancongan yang terbaik ke negara ni. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Asal nak buat sendiri itinerary tapi memandangkan waktu suntuk, aku pasrah. Ingatkan panas hingga ke petang rupanya tak sampai petang dah mendung pulak. Banyak kekurangan yang aku nampak dari negeri bergunung ganang ni. Untuk melancong negara x seberapa maju ni, kenala berfikiran terbuka, tak cerewet dan sentiasa berlapang dada. Paling tak best bila tour pakej dibayar sudah mencapai USD800 seorang tapi servis macam hampeh.kalau ku tahu better backpack dengan upah pemandu. Takpela pengajaran buat lain kali, jangan terlalu percayakan orang dan senang menerima maaf kalau orang lain buat silap. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bagi aku, Nepal masih belum bersedia dari infra dan mentaliti rakyatnya menerima kebanjiran pelancong Asia yang mengharapkan percutian mudah tanpa kena diputar belit oleh tour operator serta peniaga di kedai di Thamel Street tu. Mentality mereka sgt teruk bila taim bargain bargain tu, cekik darah sungguh.aku lebih rela bertawar ngan pekedai kain sutera di thailand, lagi accomodating. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nepal lagi sesuai untuk menikmati pemandangan semulajadi melalui trekking atau white water rafting. Bagi beragama Buddha dan Hindu, ia juga destinasi sesuai untuk ibadah mereka dan kepada yang menikmati sejarah, ok jugak. Antara tiga tempat yang dilawati, paling tak sangka<b> Chitwan adalah destinasi paling menarik selain Katmandu.</b> Pokhara? Perjalanan ke sana akan disajikan panorama gunung ganang yang indah bersama aliran sungai trisuli yang sesuai untuk white water rafting. Apabila sampai di Pokhara, lebur jugak hati. Taman Tasik Taiping is a lot better dari segi attraction dan landscaping.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yang paling boleh diharap di Pokhara adalah sunrise view di Sarangkot sahaja. </span></div>

We went to Bondi Beach. I could not believe this, it was like a dream comes true.<br />
<br />
Yes, Bondi lives to its name. Clean, wide open, postcard perfect and this time less people coming due to weekday visit so we had fun exploring.<br />
<br />
First dip in Tasman Sea was unbelievable. Though the sea was calm and cold, couples of swimmers made their way to the shore. No surfers. No people in their birthday suit ahaahahah.<br />

Next, it was ride to see all these beautiful township of Surry Hills, Paddington and Darlinghurst. Kawasan yang agak upmarket. Happened these places used to be residence of low income earners or blue collar workers working with shipping industries, however along the way, it started to make way for better and trendier hub and the rest was history. Love to see the design of the iron fences of those terraced houses, classic betul, memang rare. If you wanna roam around, there are many little sidewalk cafes to try. The place is quite hilly, so if you wanna walk, have good comfy shoes to go with. According to travel guide, some nice shops selling house ware items can be bought here, and of course we did not much time looking. Kalau tak silap, Russell Crowe ada beli rumah area area ni jugak!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So where we were going after the tour ? Ke mana lagi, Darling Harbour of course. There are many attraction such as Sydney Aquarium & Wildlife, ImaxTheatre and Australian Maritime Museum. Good spot for kids to enjoy themselves, so my dotter would be just happy.</div>

Sydney Aquarium is just a lit bit bigger compared to KL Aquaria, not to be a cramped place which they have amazing species of sharks, which quite an advantage if you want to see them swimming on the surface. Beside the usual indoor aquarium, visitors have chances to feed small fish and of course on the boat itself, me and dotter would glimpse smaller type predators making their round. The bigger ones are kept separated from the visitor's feeding tank. Tak leh imagine kalau campur yang besar tu sekali, mai gila depa, ditolak tolak bot kami, dah jadi macam citer jaws pulak. Just add in AUD10 for the experience to feed the fish. Unfortunately you can see some tamer species like stingrays being bitten by these sharks, sampai ada sekor hilang ekor, kesian... prove it is not easy to share limited living space with the entire sea creatures, the ones who are on top of the food chain tend to be a little big aggresive eh.</div>

Yeah, i was so pleased with the aquarium staff who assisted us to feed. We were shown some baby sharks, tiger species in the laboratory, amek ko, berbaloi tengok beberapa ekor anak ikan sedang tidur ehehehhehe, anak ikan betul eh... and the funny part was when he asked me at the end of the session, "Who is actually the biggest predator among them all?" aku dah blur abes... He pointed to this bald guy, just under our own boat in the indoor aquarium, whoa, kelakor siot. What he said we, human beings are the biggest predator, yeah his words make sense... anyhow, mamat ni boleh diberi lima bintang memberi penerangan, Marvellous!</div>

After some time spent in the gift shop, which of course, the merchandise were so irresistible, we made it to Maritime Museum. Our stomach growled to the extent we were so famished and needed to fill in something. Had lunch in Darling Harbour Shopping Bazaar, kebuluq tak hengat belasah kebabs. Yup, unfortunately we gave a miss for Sydney Wildlife and Imax Theatre due to time constraint, huhu, tak perla nak buat macam mana. So please plan for a whole day in Sydney Harbour if you wanna see them.</div>

Yeah, it was so cramped, not for claustrophobic type, but good enough to spend an hour inside. The Museum assistant in the submarine were ex-marine themselves. Siap ada torpedo kat dalam tau.

This fleet are interesting to explore, for first timers, and as civilians, you can imagine how tough it was for the marines to live in this ship. It is interesting to know that HMS Vampire did serve for Australian Navy during Malaysia- Indonesia Confrontation or better known as Indonesian infamous campaign "Ganyang Malaysia" , way back in 1963. pergh lama siot. This vessel used to be in Malacca Straits's water at one time. Wuhu. tak rugi mak belajar sejarah, berguna membuat penjelasan. Ni sebab anak tanya kapal ni penah datang Malaysia tak? yes, there is a video show on the ship itself. </div>

We almost approaching the end as there was only half hour left for indoor and the gift shop. To our luck, an exhibition of Remembering 100 Years Titanic was being held in the museum, so the chances to see the pictures of real person behind the famous film characters such as Mrs. Brown was not to be missed. The rest of the exhibition are mainly touches on the water sports; as Australia is also known for having many gold medals for Olympics, history of Australian women into Navy, evolution of swimming costumes, sea rescues stuff and a spot dedicated to America's effort promoting sea venture ship to Australia. </div>

We woke up early to catch up the bus somewhere in Macquire Street near Circular Quay. Risau jugak kalau tertinggal. Since we had limited time to complete our sightseeing, I woke up at 6 a.m, catch the bus to the city from Malaysia Hall at 7 a.m (bus No. 737, Randwick- Coogee) and arrived at 7.30 a.m. Cekap tak? Happened that we were so early which also made me worried since no sign of the coach, takut plak salah spot. Alhamdulillah, the small coach took us right in front Continental Hotel, memang posh la tempat ni, segan den nak lepak lama lama tunggu, sebab tau tak mampu nak dok hatta semalam, The bell boy dok pandang macam kita nak pegi serbu plak.... </div>

Since many tourist has booked this early morning tour to Bondi, we were transported to AAT Kings office somewhere near the Rocks. Macam Bust Terminal Putra la sikit sikit, tapi tak sure kat mana... There were so many buses going out from the terminal, some heading to Blue Mountains, some to Jenolan Caves, some to Wineyard Valley and we have to changed our coach into bigger bus. There are also other travel companies beside AAT Kings, so do not get mistaken because they are also offering the same kind of tour, luckily the rival of AAT Kings gave direction to refer to me when I almost took their buses instead, malu den.... To double check whether you are making into the right bus, just check with people who wait next to the buses who hold these list of names if you already book with them.</div>

The tour start somewhere near the Rocks. As the bus moved along, the tour guide will inform us the origin how the Rocks got its name. Interesting fact when the Rocks is the early part of establishment, labour of convicts from England were being utilised to build many structures. In the area, many of these laborers needed to do manual hacking of the existing rocks that lies on the ground itself, yeah that is how they got the name when buildings were made of these. The tour guide mentioned these formation of rock was easy to be transformed into blocks, takderla kene letup bagai. Memang hebat mat salih zaman dulu, tak payah la nak wat kilang bricks, cari tanah liat dan membakar. They found the most easiest sources around, jimat masa, sumber dan tenaga, chewah!</div>

After the Rocks we headed to other part of Sydney which was Mrs. Macquaries Chair at Royal Botanic Garden. Again, who was this lady? Way back when Australia was ruled by the Governor system, macam kita kita dulu kek Tanah Malaya under British Colonial, the wife of the Governor, Madam Elizabeth Macquairies suka la satu spot dia duduk, chillex chillex... kira the best view of Sydney la.. so to appreciate the Governor's contribution towards developing Sydney, they made the spot for her. Wah untung ko, macam queen of England plak punya layanan... dok imagine how was the lady, with her costume, with payung, meronda ronda dalam taman sendiri...kalau ada filem, sah sah dalam kepala otak, sapa la pegang watak, tak lain tak bukan Nicole Kidman dan heronya sapa lagi? ehehhehehhehe</div>

Because this is the best spot for observing the other side of the northern coast, which we were already in Watsons Bay. If you notice there was a house in the left side with Aussie flag, you must be wondering why the residence got only one flag while the rest got none? According to the guide, the authority of Sydney requested the owner to put a flag in front of the house. Why? Because this spot particular, a favorite spot to commit suicide among Sydneysiders, choish, wah seram mak dengar.. so before any fellow Aussie mau commit suicide, they can have a look at the flag to remind themselves how they should love the country before losing their life for not so important reasons. ahahhahahahahha, lawak jugak mendengar... haish tak leh lelama nak lepak, tempat ni kan keras la kot.....agak tu rumah sebelah berbendera kosong jer tader penghuni muahahahhahahah</td></tr>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To do Sydney, knowing the history and how people thrive for some better living, it is the most expensive city in Aussie, yet it shows how vibrant the city is. Same goes to other places in this world, but sun shine, sea and wharf is the one i look forward to, perhaps I spent many years visiting beaches, and till today, I am still loving every part of it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We took two day tours with AAT Kings, which I think the best day tour to explore North and South of the city. The North Experience. The journey begins from Harbour Bridge, North Sydney and of course Mainly. We waited the company bus, and to our surprise it came with so knowledgeable Mr. Guiliano Nyuen, our tour guide cum the driver.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

We reached Manly and took dinner at Nando's in the wharf (AUD5.95 for a quarter roast chicken minus the side dishes). Earlier on the trip we did come to this place during our day tour with AAT Kings, so it was easy to roam in the town at night without feeling lost.</div>

<span style="font-size: small; text-align: justify;">What makes me to love Manly is the fact a place for newbie to learn surfing (there is a school here), the easy access from CBD to Manly Wharf and of course the architectural aspect of the buildings. At daylight, it was quite busy with visitors and at night time, Manly is a place to hang out with friends for some drinks.</span></div>

The only setback if you come to Manly at night is the fact that people who go drinking at those pubs may not be at their best behavior when they get themselves drunk and start insulting others. We were taking some photos when a bunch of young Australian men started to make fun of a Asian guy in a nearby Hungry Jack outlet. Poor guy....</div>

When they approached us and offered to take our photos which of course, I wouldn't keen to put ourselves into trouble, so I refused their offer and made our way to the wharf.</div>

There were reports of these Australian guys turn themselves into racist when they get high, sorry i have to say this, but it is a fact that it happened in front of my eyes. My friend, Sherry always reminded this if I wanted to go out at night. Stay away from the drinking joint, pubs or anything to do with it.</div>
