Land of the Rising Sun: Part II

Hi guys! It's been a long time since the last entry. Mr & Mrs I was kinda busy lately; finding stuff for their baby. In this entry, I would like to continue Mr I's journey to Japan.

It was 1st week, and this time he will take you guys to Namba city. Namba city is famous for its Kani Doraku Crab, located around Dotonburi Canal. Namba is also known as entertainment district and shopping mostly for electronics products. From Hankyu, you have to go Umeda Station and go directly to subway Midosuji Line. Take the train to Namba station.

This is Umeda Station; Subway Midosuji Line.

Make sure you are at the right lane.

Dotonburi Canal?

Land of the Rising Sun: Part I

Here is a little bit information for you; Land of the Rising Sun = Japan. Mr I was in Japan between June and July 2010 for business trip. So, here are Mr I's 'catatan perjalanan'. Hope you guys will enjoy it.

It took Mr I about 6 hours from KLIA to Kansai. This is an impressive fact: Kansai International Airports is an international airport located on an ARTIFICIAL ISLAND in the middle of Osaka Bay, Osaka Prefecture, Japan. From Kansai, Mr I directly went to Osaka as he will live there until the end of the trip.

Avillion Port Dickson; where the sea is so near

It's been a while since the last writing. Been busy with the work as 'problem solver' lately. Some more, I found a little bit trouble in finding a suitable title for this entry..huhuhu.

What do we have here? OK, Avillion Port Dickson is an award-winning beach resort which sits over 23 acres bla bla bla. I won't continue this as you can read further at their website.

There are 4 types of rooms for you to pick; Garden Chalets, Water Chalets, Premium Water Chalet & Beach Studios. For Water/Premium Water Chalet, you can take refreshing shower under the open skies...:p

Let's enjoy the picture from Mrs I's DSLR..

USS: Universal Studio Singapore; not United States Ship

Hi..happy holidays to all of you...=) Unfortunately I am working today..huhuhu.

Ok, as I mentioned in the previous entry, I will share about Mr & Mrs I holidays at Universal Studio Singapore aka USS.

USS is located at Sentosa Island and developed by Resort World. GPS coordinate N1^o15'21" E103^o99'22". For those who travel by own car, you can park at Vivo City, which is cheaper than parking at Resort World. Then you can take monorail and transit at Imbiah Station.

There are seven cities (not seven rainbows of course...=)) to be visited inside the USS. The first one is Hollywood city, followed by New York city, Sci-Fi, Ancient Egypt, Lost World, Far Far Away and lastly Madagscar city. All of the cities will give different attraction to the visitors.

We will go through the cities one by one...shall we?...=)
