Kuala Lumpur is a modern city with heavy traffic during peak hours. I got a taxi driving around the city for a half-day sightseeing. Petronas Twin Towers didn’t get much of my attention. I only hop off at Batu Caves and Istana Negara (new national palace).
St. Petersburg is Russia’s second largest city with abundant history. Due to visa restriction, most visitors go with local tour agency visa waiver program. When stepping out of the custom terminal, you will see overwhelming tour coaches and shuttles waiting outside. In a busy day, cruises in port may top to 7 boats and everybody […]
Baltic Sea is generally calm in our feeling, perhaps due to cruise huge size, when we are on NCL Getaway in early September. However, top deck with outdoor facilities are so windy that you my be blown away. The wave condition at Stockholm does cancel our port of call and we found the other report of […]
前晚上我們回到Nusa Dua的高級酒店區，找了一個相對便宜的五星旅館，設備真是豪華，三間房三間衛浴，客廳廚房還附有私人游泳池．我們六人入住，除可保有個人隱私，室內室外也容易談天。因為旅館不靠海，有提供巴士往返海灘，其實大眾游泳池相當大非常不錯了，不想下水的人也可以在旁聊聊天上上網，比起海邊更能各取所需。
一大早溪聲鳥聲喚醒了我們，小孩早餐後到游泳池玩了一下，checkout後我們就去參觀Ubud palace和Ubud market。Ubud market 雖熱鬧但沒有特殊性，店家賣的東西大同小異，售價倒是很敢開，有些開價甚至已經超出在美國買的價格，所以出價不要客氣，我建議起標價公式：min(店家開價/5, 國內價格*0.7), 這樣你才會買的划算．
今天前往Kintamani，沿途參觀頗具名氣的木雕藝術家，參觀Batik手工編織，現場可請Batik藝術家手工繪製，商舖裡販售各式各樣的Batik商品，老實說，那些是不是手工還真看不出來，所以兩手空空繼續往下一站走。
Bali一入關就感受到跟爪哇地區明顯的不同，建築風格飲食文化有其獨有的特色．Bali因為信仰穆斯林的人較少，豬肉成為飲食中主要的肉品。導遊帶我們去吃當地有名的豬肋排，看到牆壁上貼滿感謝函，一開始對豬排飯有一點期待，
回到雅加達又陷入塞車的惡夢，還好大部分都是會見親戚朋友的行程，沒有開太多的路，要不然我早就發瘋了，那種塞車讓人焦慮，那交通秩序讓人不敢恭維，連我自認高超的開車技術在那裏只能算個肉腳。
