         <description><![CDATA[<p>This is the third day of my trip in Taiwan. I've never been here before and I'm really excited to check out the next night market tonight. Yesterday, we went to Raohe Night Market near our hostel. It was bustling with people and the pathways weren't very wide. We tried the flame-torched beef cubes, but it was a bit too spicy for me.</p><p><br></p><p>Now I’m in the Taiwan MRT heading to Shilin Night Market. We still have 4 stations, and we haven't found a seat for ourselves yet. It's a bit crowded in here, I hope we reach there soon. We still haven't tried the Shilin fried chicken chop or the sugar calabash. We also haven't gone sightseeing at Jiufen. I hope we'll have time to go there tomorrow. It'll be our last destination before we go back. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p><sub>This is the last two days before my holidays end! It’s been quite a long time since I visited Penang. This time, I’m going to Penang with my family. We visit lots of interesting places such as temples, butterfly farms and more! The butterfly farm is one of the largest butterfly farms in Malaysia with over 15000 types of butterflies! The farm has a huge crowd of people and there’s only a narrow pathway that I almost can’t fit in! URH! Besides, we also get to visit an old mansion that is full of histories and stories. IT WAS A SATISFACTORY EXPERIENCE!!&nbsp;&nbsp;</sub></p><p><sub><br> However, we still got lots of places to visit. I haven’t been to Penang Hill or the Botanic Gardens yet. We also haven’t enjoyed all the local dishes such as Asam Laksa, Char Koay Teow and other scrumptious foods. I can’t wait to try all of them tomorrow! I hope we’ll have time to visit all of the places tomorrow as it’s my last day of holiday!&nbsp;</sub></p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This is the third day of my holiday in Hong Kong. I'm very happy and excited as this is my first time visiting Hong Kong. My family and I had visited the Sky 100 observation deck in Hong Kong, we get to see the view of the entire territory of Hong Kong. I was amazed by the magnificent view, it was amazing!! But my sister did not enjoy it at all because she was afraid of heights. Not just that, we also went to the space museum. I found it quite boring as I'm not enthusiastic about space, but I enjoy the astronomy film show. It was fantastic!</p><p><br></p><p>I still have two more days before my trip end. Tomorrow we are going to Hong Kong Disneyland, I have been waiting this for so long! I hope it won't be crowded tomorrow so that we don't need to queue up for the facilities for hours. I also can't wait to try their food too! I heard its extremely delicious. We still have lots of things to do. We haven't visited the Peak or the Ngong Ping 360 cable car. I hope we can visit these two places before leaving Hong Kong.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This is my third day of my trip to Langkawi. I'm so happy and excited right now because this is the first time I visit Langkawi.</p><p>Yesterday,my family and I visited Gunung Raya.We got to the top of the hill by riding a cable car. The view from the top was spectacular!We can see clear blue-ish seas, and enjoy the cool wind. We also visited the cable-stayed bridge.It is 660 metres above sea level so when the wind blows, it feels very thrilling.Some part of the bridge deck is made of glass, when I look down, I feel very scared!</p><p>Now I’m at the beach watching the fire show.It is fantastic!We still have a lot of places to visit.Tomorrow we are going to Hidden Langkawi to watch the gorgeous sea view and taste their specialty drinks.I heard that their drinks are tasty.I can’t wait to visit there tomorrow.We are going back after tomorrow’s trip.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This is my second day of my holiday in Australia! This is my first time visiting, so I'm filled with excitement to explore more about this beautiful country. During my time here, my family and I visited the Sydney Opera House, the place for performance. Even though it's quite expensive, It was still worth it. And I'm not the only one who thinks so, the entire crowd looked excited too! Other than that, we also went to Melbourne to see the Melbourne Zoo. We saw a lot of different animals but my favourite was the lion, i just think its a magnificent carnivore. But my brother doesn't think so he just wants to go home because of the scorching heat of Melbourne. </p><p><br/></p><p>Although we haven't visit much of Australia. It's already one of the best holiday I've been too. There's still 5 days to my visit. We haven't visit the Queen Victoria Market. So, we'll visit it tomorrow!!!</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Posted by Yen Qi on 29 December, 2023 at 19:30</p><p><br></p><p>Today, we arrived at Melbourne after an 8 hours flight from KLIA. The first attraction that we visited was the Puffing Billy Railway. We get to ride a train named Puffing Billy. It was an old steam train used in the early 1900s. It reminded me of Thomas the train but in green. Here’s a picture I took, comment if you think it also reminds you of Thomas.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Next, we took an hour half&nbsp; bus ride to Philip Island’s Nature Park to watch the penguin parade. We get to see the smallest penguin in the world! Due to its tiny size, they are call little penguin or sometimes fairy penguin. The park provides plenty of nesting boxes for the penguin with a family of two to live in. The special thing about them is that they will go out to the sea by dawn and return to their burrows at dusk. We have to walk through the boardwalk to reach the viewing platform . It was freezing cold there, I felt like as if i was being frozen to death x0, but its worth the wait. It was a magical moment when the line of penguins waddle home in front of me, they were so cute!!! Unfortunately, We were not allowed to take photos of them as it might hurt their eyes. :( . I had a whale of a time there and learnt lots of interesting facts about the little penguin.</p><p><br></p><p>The first day has gotten me pumped up already and I can't wait to explore more of this vibrant city. Stay tuned for my next blog :)</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p><br/></p><p>It’s only our second day at Bangkok and I’m loving every second of it! Yesterday, we went to the Railway Market and I got the shock of my life when a train passed by, right in front of me! Then, we rode a Tuk Tuk to a widely known restaurant, Thip Sa Mai to have a taste of their scrumptious Pad Thai. Yum!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Today, we’re visiting Safari World Bangkok. We rode a windowless bus and were handed bowls of carrots. I was thrilled when a zebra put her head inside the bus to take a bite of my carrot. I also learned that giraffes do have blue tongues!<br>Afterward, we went to Wat Arun to view the colossal structure that was built centuries ago. We marveled at the sight of the temple and took photos of the intricate designs.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Tomorrow, we are going to chill and relax at famous cafes. There have been some that I am keeping an eye on for long. Mom even promised that she would let me visit a cat café near our hotel! Be sure to follow me as I tour around Bangkok.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>After a two-hour flight, we reached Vietnam. I full filled it with anticipation as this was my first flight to Vietnam after my last exam! The first stop was Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam. It is known for its centuries-old architecture and rich culture. We visited the Old Quarter. We wander through the narrow streets of shops selling handicrafts, silk, clothing, and souvenirs. Hang Gai Street (Silk Street) is particularly famous for its high-quality silk products. The next stop we went to the Halong Bay. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its emerald waters and thousands of towering limestone islands topped with rainforests. Consider a boat cruise to fully experience its beauty.  This was my first-day trip to Vietnam. I am long awaited for the next day in Vietnam.  The next day, we had our breakfast in our hotel. After the scrumptious breakfast, we had a walk outside our hotel to see the culture of the citizens. In the afternoon, we went to the Phu Quoc Island.  When we reached there, the white sandy beaches and the clear crystal water caught our attention. We had the opportunity to try diving and snorkeling. At night, we wanted to try some local food so we reached the Dong Xuan Market. It was the largest market in Hanoi, offering a wide range of street food stalls. It's a perfect place to sample different Vietnamese dishes in one spot. We saw a lot of mouth-watering food and it was delicious. This was the second day of the Vietnam trip. There were four more days to end my Vietnam trip. I hope I will visit more attractions in Vietnam to widen my horizon.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This is the third day I've spent in Cameron Highlands! It's my first time visiting here, so I feel extremely excited! :)</p><p><br></p><p>On the first day, we went to Cactus Point and paid a visit to the Strawberry Farm. It was an amazing experience as I could learn more about the varying species cacti. I was also able to pluck strawberries myself and enjoy eating it fresh! I have never eaten strawberries this sweet and juicy!</p><p><br></p><p>The next day, my family and I went to the O&amp;R Garden. I felt elated as I was able to observe over 100 species of orchids and 30 species of roses. The scent in the garden was heavenly, and it made me never want to leave! After that, we went to the Boh Tea Plantation. I was amazed by the amount of tea leaves planted on several hills. I purchased a box of tea leaves, and I can't wait to try them out when I get back home! :)</p><p><br></p><p>Today, we went to the Time Tunnel; Museum. It was a cute museum that housed extensive and well-kept collectibles from the past! My family and I took many funny pictures and had an awesome time there. :)</p><p><br></p><p>We've still got many places to visit! We haven't been to the Honey Bee Farms or the Butterfly Farm yet. I hope we'll have the chance to go to those places as tomorrow is our last day In Cameron Highlands!</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This was the 2nd time visiting <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://Otaru.Me">Otaru last year . Me</a> and my family were unable to go travel to other countries for 3 years as at the time it was the height of the Covid-19 Pandemic . Otaru is a beautiful town in one of the many cities in Hokkaido. During the summer people go there to see the great view of the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://river.It">river . It kind of resembles a mini Venice but in Japan . I love to go to Japan during the winter season as i dont need to be drenched in sweat while visiting places.Don't get me wrong Otaru is an amazing place.</a></p><p><br/></p><p>When I was there, I took a boat to ride along the river, it was an amazing site to see the buildings together with the old architecture that was used when the town was built. Otaru also sells very delicious ice cream which was made with fresh milk as it is the best thing Hokkaido has to offer. After riding on the boat and eating ice cream, me and my family went down the street to a restaurant that sold food that was cheap and very delicious. You could get a whole fresh salmon meal for just 600 Yen. After that we went shopping at the many shops that were around the streets of Otaru. One funny thing that Otaru has is VERY and I mean VERY slippery streets. I literally slipped like 7 times for the few hours I was there!! There was a family on the other side of the street which had an elderly person that kept slipping on his bum! His family didn't care about him until he slipped the 4th time. Poor guy I hope he was okay. This was one of my most memorable trips to Otaru, Japan! I hope I will be able to visit this town in the future.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This is the second day of my holiday in Taiwan. I just arrived in Taiwan yesterday night and the temperature was very low. We went to a hotel in Xitun District and rest because we were fatigued. Today, we went to the Gongguan village to visit a garden. We went there by a van.The journey to the garden took 2-3 hours but it is worth. After reached there, I was stunned by the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://scenery.It">scenery. It</a> was breathtaking. ;) We took a lot of photo using a polaroid. </p><p> </p><p>After visiting the garden, we went to Ximen by taking train to ximen station. The train went very fast and it only takes 20 minutes to reach there. Most of the people lived in Ximen city center. Middle-aged visitors and elders enjoy finding traces of the past in Ximen, and youngsters love showing off their fashionable dressing styles here. My family very enjoyed to looking around the city centre.</p><p><br></p><p>We went to the Wanhua District night market. We saw a long queue of people that is standing infront of a shop. We were wondering what shop is that. I walked infront and look closer. It was a restaurant mee suah. My dad bought some mee suah and we try. The mee suah tasted very delicious. I hated the smell of the stinky tofu. When I crossed by the restaurant that sells stinky tofu, I will smells a bad smell. My mom bought us some stinky tofu and they said it is delicious.</p><p><br></p><p>After walking for 6-7 hours ,we finally went back to the hotel.Talking about the hotel, their service was very good and satisfying. I am resting in the hotel right now. We will go to the Miramar Entertainment Park tomorrow. We still have 6 days in Taiwan. I hope I can explore more in Taiwan.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I always loved Japan, and this was my first time going on a trip to Tokyo, Japan. When I first set foot in Tokyo, I was very astonished because despite being one of the largest cities, Tokyo's environment was very clean! :0 My family and I first checked in at a hotel in Tokyo to put our luggage and stuff there. And guess what, luckily for us, we got the room where the view at the balcony was amazing! </p><p><br/></p><p>Then, we went to Sanrio Puroland in Tama New Town as my sister is a huge fan of Sanrio, especially Kuromi.  Of course, she would spend huge amount of money here as she wanted to buy as much souvenirs as she could get her hands on. However, unfortunately for her, she left her money in her wallet at the hotel and had the audacity to use mine! I hope she returns back the money she owes me!!! &gt;:( Anyways aside from this, I really enjoyed Sanrio Puroland, especially their rides! :D </p><p><br/></p><p>After that, we had to take a long ride to Shibuya to try out their street food, and I must say, the trip to Shibuya was definitely worth it because their food were super duper tasty! My favourite food there was their Takoyaki. Next, we went go-karting, it was really hard at first as it was my first time. However, after I got the hang of it, I started to enjoy it!  (Also after I crashed into other things multiple times, it was really embarrassing!) After go-karting, it was already evening, I hate how my first day was already ending!!</p><p><br/></p><p> For our last destination for today, we went to Shibuya's famous scramble crossing! When I first got there, I was startled to see a truckload of people there! My family and I went window shopping and also ate loads of food after that. When we finally reached our hotel, I collapsed and fell asleep immediately! Even though it was exhausting, I really enjoyed today, can't wait for tomorrow! Of course, I'll keep you all updated on my trip in Tokyo in my blog! ;D</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This Christmas, my family and I visited Japan and it was unforgettable, and we spent a magical week skiing in the snowy wonderland that Hokkaido is. The fresh mountain air and perfectly steep slopes were the perfect setting for our holiday. We'd all get together every morning over steaming bowls of ramen before hitting the trails. My older brother quickly became adept at skiing, though a beginner, with just a few pointers from Dad. My mom and I had the fun of experiencing some of the tougher runs. After a long skiing session, we all gathered around the bottom of the mountain and had a intense snowball fight! Of course my brother and I won. The evenings were spent chilling in the natural hot springs, washing away the dirt and snow from skiing. We topped our trip by visiting a traditional Japanese village, learning local customs, sharing a delicious meal. This trip proved to be an excellent way of improving family bonding and making new and unforgettable memories with each other.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This is the last day of my holiday trip in Australia. I dreamt so many times to see this beautiful and friendly country, and finally I got the opportunity to visit here! It was late fall when we arrived here.</p><p><br></p><p>After checking in to our resort, we first went to Queen Victoria <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://Market.It">Market. It</a>'s been in Australia for more than 140 years! It sells everything you can think of like unique souvenirs, fresh meat, clothing, great coffee and more. Oh, and I must say that the environment here was actually cleaner than I thought! (I expected rubbish all over the place because it's crowded here everyday.) My mom also bought me a small kangaroo plush toy from this market. It's super adorable, I loved it so much! </p><p><br></p><p>We went to The Great Ocean Road on the third day. It was FREEZING here! (I had to put on two jackets) I LOVED this place the most because of the stunning scenery (despite the cold weather) I HAVE TO SAY THAT there wasn't any good food here. We used two hours to finally found a Chinese restaurant as our lunch. Anyways, we visited the world-famous Twelve Apostles. These seven limestone stacks are the highlight of the Great Ocean Road. It's actually best viewed at sunset, which the rocks becomes yellow, red and orange and every shade in between. We thought we can't arrived there before sunset (as day time ends quicker on late autumn) but we managed to see this amazing, breathtaking scenic before the day becomes dark. Special thanks to my dad because he took the risk to drive the car like a roller coaster. </p><p><br></p><p>Today, we went to Phillip Island to visit the Penguin Parade. These penguins are the smallest type of penguin in the world. They head out to fish during the day, and head home as night falls to look after their nests. I was super excited when those penguin came back from the sea! I try not to scream as they are TOO CUTE!!! Me and my mom saw a penguin that is lost, it can't find its nest. :( Poor little guy had to waddle from front to back with its small, tiny leg. I didn't have any photos of them as it's prohibited to take photos, because it may hurt their eyes. Oh well, at least I got to see them with my bare eyes. </p><p><br></p><p>Tomorrow, it's time to go back home. I really really had a whale of time in Melbourne and still wanted to initiate this journey in the future! Don't forget to check out on my other blog posts too. :)</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This is the third day of our vacation to Tioman Island. I was in seventh heaven for the past few days as me and my family had a lot of fun! The first day,after checking in to the resort, we decided to go snorkelling since we are all thrill seekers. It was a good decision as we saw a lot of sea creatures and beautiful corals. After doing all those activities, we felt hungry so we went to a local seafood restaurant. The restaurant sells mouthwatering dishes.We felt hungry so we ate like a horse.</p><p><br/></p><p>On the next day, we went jungle trekking from Tekek Village to Juara.While jungle trekking, we discovered hidden treasures such as waterfalls and caves. I was completely lost for words when we were admiring the scenery. After that, we went to the beach to admire the sunset.</p><p><br/></p><p>Today, we are going to stay in the resort for the whole day and use the facilities that are provided by the resort such as a gaming room,basketball court,and more.I just noticed that there's even an outdoor cinema here! What's more, I even heard that my dad has reserved buffet for us and I'm so excited about that !! :D It's so sad to realize that we will leave Tioman Island tomorrow. :( I hope we can create more memorable memories before going back home!</p><p><br/></p>]]></description>

         <title>The Healing Power of Nature in Dilai Villa : A Therapeutic Retreat into the Wilderness ( Nickel )</title>
         <author>m11120059</author>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Blog posted by Nickel on 11th March, 3:11pm</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>I've been to Penang so many times that I've lost count. This time, we went to the Dilai Villa. While hiking in search of insects, I stumbled upon something incredible - the <mark>Great Wood Spider</mark>! This massive spider, at least ten centimetres long, dominates the mountain landscape. Its presence is awe-inspiring; you can even see it "floating" in the air. One incident was particularly alarming: while observing a praying mantis, I nearly encountered a 15-centimeter spider just next to my face. It was a harrowing experience, and I'm thankful for the timely warning from my uncle. This encounter was <strong><em><mark>ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING</mark></em></strong>! You know, even though the venom of this spider can't directly kill me, it can still cause intense <strong><em><mark>PAIN</mark></em></strong> and even make me <strong><em><mark>LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS</mark></em></strong>!!! Anyway, I really enjoy this trip to Dilai Villa. On this trip, <mark>the only thing I regret</mark> is that I wish I could take it home with me. It's incredibly low-maintenance—all you need is a container with a plant and a humid environment. Plus, feeding it is a breeze—grab some crickets from the pet store. If you're someone who wants a pet but is short on time, this spider is perfect! You only need to feed it once every 2 to 3 weeks.<strong><em><mark> I am passionate about nature and its beauty!"t nature and its beauty!</mark></em></strong></p>]]></description>

         <title>SEEING THE SIGHTS IN LANGKAWI (Jia Huey)</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Posted by Jia Huey on 20 September, 10.30pm</p><p><br></p><p>This is the second day of my holiday in Langkawi and I'm enjoying every single moment of it! Yesterday, my family and I arrived at Langkawi International Airport by flight. It's been quite a while since our last trip, so I'm really excited! We've already walked across Langkawi Sky Bridge, which overlooks Mount Cincang and Telaga Tujuh Waterfalls from 100 metres above sea level. The walk upwards was tiring, but it was certainly worth it as the panoramic view from above was breathtaking! To get to the foot of the bridge, we took a Langkawi SkyCab. While riding in a cable car, we were able to spot the surrounding flora and fauna at a close range. After that, we headed to Pantai Cenang. We had seafood for dinner - yum! We also managed to watch a spectacular fire performance there.</p><p><br></p><p>Today, my family and I played various water sports at Paradise 101, including taking a banana boat ride, kayaking and working our way around an inflatable obstacle course. After spending a couple of hours under the sun, all of us were noticeably sunburnt, but we sure had a whale of a time! </p><p><br></p><p>We also visited the Langkawi 3D Art Museum, which features various artwork with optical illusions. We took some pictures of the interactive artwork, and the visual effect left me awed! I've posted several photos here, go check them out!</p><p><br></p><p>We've still got one more day of activities before the end of our trip. Tomorrow, we're going to Underwater World, an aquarium with a variety of marine creatures. Actually, right now we're supposed to be at Dataran Lang, a famous landmark in Langkawi, however we decided not go since my younger sister was cranky after a long and  tiring day. The moment we reached our hotel room, she collapsed on the bed in exhaustion and fell asleep instantly! I, too, am extremely worn out, but I'm staying awake for a while to update my blog. This trip has been memorable and amazing so far, and I can't wait for more fun tomorrow!  </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>My Blog posted on 10th of August, 11:00p.m. </strong></p><p><br/></p><p>After 22 hours flight, I arrived at the capital of Hawaii, Honolulu and it was morning there. I was extremely excited as this was my first time to visit Honolulu. Firstly, I checked into the hotel of Waikiki, the heart of Honolulu.</p><p>After that, I headed straight to the Waikiki beach. I spent my whole afternoon soaking up the sun, swimming in the crystal-clear water and trying out surfing lessons. Besides, I was deeply impressed by the panoramic view and crystal-clear water there. In the evening, I enjoyed the beachfront dinner at a seafood restaurant along Waikiki Beach.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In the second day, I visited the Pearl Harbor National Memorial. This site is a poignant reminder of the events of December 7, 1941, and includes the USS Arizona Memorial, museums, and exhibits. Besides, I visited the Iolani Palace, the only royal residence in the United States. The palace offers guided tours that provide insight into Hawaii’s royal history and the lives of its last reigning monarchs. In the evening, I took a stroll through the historic Chinatown district. Enjoy the unique blend of Asian cultures, vibrant markets, and delicious food options. Honestly, I was shocked as I didn’t aspect there was a Chinatown in Hawaii!!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In the third day, I woke up early because I was going to hike up the Diamond Head State Monument. This iconic volcanic crater offers a moderately challenging hike with rewarding panoramic views of Honolulu and the Pacific Ocean. Luckily, I managed to reach the summit and enjoyed the view of the sunrise. After having my lunch, I headed to Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve for some snorkelling. This was my first time snorkelling, so I was a bit nervous. After trying for a few times, I was used to this and I managed to snorkel deeper. &nbsp;</p><p>I saw various types of coral reefs and colourful fishes in the sea. In the evening, I had my sweet time relaxing and enjoying my meal at&nbsp;Ala Moana Beach Park.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I returned to the hotel at 8p.m. The trips t hese few days are really memorable. I hope my journey tomorrow will be even more interesting.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This is the third and also the last day I am in Cambodia. Two days ago, after a short flight, me and my family arrived in Cambodia. We first went to visit the infamous building-”Angkor Wat”. I was astonished when I saw a head of a <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C4%81ga">nāga</a> that was built beside an unrestored lion sculpture leading to the entrance of Angkor Wat. In case you are wondering, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C4%81ga">nāga</a>s are a divine, or semi-divine, race of half-human, half-<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake">serpent</a> beings that reside in the netherworld. After passing through the entrance, a huge central tower stood in front of me, surrounded by all outer walls. There were also galleries along the corridor featuring Buddhist pictures as well as letters written in Khmer. You know what the most surprising thing is? The fact that “Angkor Wat” is 402 acres big, which is considered the largest religious building in the world!&nbsp;This is the third and also the last day I am in Cambodia.

The fact that “Angkor Wat” is 402 acres big, which is considered the largest religious building in the world!&nbsp;I attached a picture of the front view of Angkor Wat.</p><p><br></p><p>Day 2 was completely just us wandering around the pub street, literally. They really had everything we wanted there: food, music, games, everything! It was also my first time eating… fried spiders!!! It apparently is commonly served as an appetiser there. The taste was indescribable in words. Other than that, we tried out fish massage. For lunch, we went to try out Cambodian barbecue, traditionally called “Sach Ang Phnom Pleung” or “Fire Mountain BBQ” This meal consists of a barbecue apparatus in the shape of a volcano mountain, complete with exotic meats such as snake, crocodile, and frog to cook up. This was definitely my first time seeing barbecue like this. Lastly, we went to the “Temple Night Club” Of course I did not drink any alcohol there (although I almost got my hands on those good stuff). It was actually quite boring there as I, as an introvert, am too scared to go talk to anyone and just stayed on my phone all day.</p><p><br></p><p>Today, we went to visit the National Museum of Cambodia. The museum basically consists of Buddhist and Hindu sculptures and artefacts. I don’t really find this interesting as well. Visiting the Bat Caves in Battambang was one of my highlights of Cambodia. The main reason we actually went to Battambang was to visit the Bat Caves and I am glad we took the detour. Watching millions of bats flying on top of your head when you are just chilling is an insane experience, a messy and smelly experience that is.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>I hope I can get another chance to visit Cambodia again in the future. That’s all for my blog.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This is the fourth day of my holiday in Taipei, Taiwan! I've never been here before so I'm very excited! Taipei has truly surpassed all my expectations, blending allure, with charm. The day kicked off with a visit to the Taipei 101. From the observation deck I was captivated by the views of the city and its surrounding mountains. The sleek architecture of the skyscraper is undeniably impressive.</p><p><br/></p><p>After immersing myself in those views I strolled into Ximending, Taipeis shopping and entertainment hub. The bustling street scenes, vibrant neon signs and delectable street food created an atmosphere that was both thrilling and welcoming. I couldn't resist sampling some treats, like stinky tofu and refreshing bubble tea.</p><p><br/></p><p>As evening descended I sought solace at the Chiang Kai shek Memorial Hall. The grand architecture and peaceful gardens offered a moment amidst the hustle and bustle. Witnessing the changing of guards was a standout experience showcasing a display of discipline and reverence. Each encounter here has been distinctive. Etched in my memory making Taipei an unforgettable destination that has me eagerly anticipating adventures ahead! Stay tuned for my next blogpost!!</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This is the second day of my trip in Cherating. I’m still very excited and happy because I’ve been looking forward to this trip for a long time. Yesterday, my family and I arrived at a hotel near Cherating Beach at about 8 am. After checking into the hotel, we went to the beach.</p><p><br/></p><p>When we reached the beach, I was like WOAH!! IT’S BEAUTIFUL!!! It’s picturesque with the golden sand shimmering under the sun and the shallow seawater along with the gentle waves with the colour of ocean blue. My family and I experienced snorkeling and saw large species of fish and many colourful corals. Because there were so many beautiful things I wanted to record, I always had to have my camera ready. XD (Anyways, the picture of the breathtaking sunset is my favorite)</p><p><br/></p><p>Today I went for a one-hour ATV ride and a day tour of the mangrove by kayak with my family! I really enjoyed the morning cold wind blowing and the green nature with the wet smell of dew during the ATV ride. We went for the mangrove tour located at Sungai Cherating after lunch. During the tour, we saw a really large stretch of lush mangrove forest and serene riverbanks. We also spotted many wildlife monkeys, monitor lizards, and a myriad of bird species. (The strong wind along with the smell of the salty seawater was so cool!!) :D</p><p><br/></p><p>After dinner, we went on a firefly expedition by taking a night riverboat trip from the local tour. Hundreds of lights filled the trees like the starry night in the sky. It was truly a magical experience! Unfortunately, we were not allowed to capture these magnificent moments on camera. D:</p><p><br/></p><p>Tomorrow, I am going to Cherating Cultural Village with my family. I can’t wait to participate in the batik workshop and make my very own batik. I’m also looking forward to purchasing the handmade souvenirs or local crafts and learning the culture of the Malays. I hope we’ll enjoy and have fun during the trip tomorrow as it is our last day at Cherating. :(</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This is my 5th day in Panama. Yesterday was the last day of the competition which included some impromptu judging and the closing ceremony. The closing ceremony was so exciting, not just because my team and I got achieved the title world champion, but because we saw 3 other Malaysian teams win 1st place and 2 other teams winning 1st runner up. Today, we toured around Panama. we first stopped at the museum, which included the past of Panama about how it started near the river, how it was attacked by pirates and how it was able to reborn and become what it is today. I also saw different weapons, including cannons, swords and flintlocks. Moreover, there were old ruins which is what you see in the image above. After the expedition, we went to nearby beaches to see and buy some sovenirs then went for lunch. We ate some paella, shrimp with pasta which has a Panama spin on it as well as some fries. Later on, we went to the Panama Canal where we watched a 30 minutes video about it and we actually managed to see it live in action. It was a amazing day but also a very tiring one. We went back to the hotel to get an early break and prepare for the next exhilarating day in Panama.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Today is the last day of my five day trip to Italy! We flew in on a 12-hour flight on Monday, and I've been loving it here! We stayed in Venice for the first two days, where we got to eat by the canals and watch the boats sail by. I can honestly tell you, Venice has some of the best tasting foods ever!! I ate some delicious seafood and pasta that just cannot be beaten anywhere else in the world, it was just that amazing!</p><p><br/></p><p>After being in Venice for two days, we went to Sardinia for the marvellous view of the La Pelosa beach. We took many pictures, although the pictures don't really capture the beauty of the beach enough. Anyways, the beach was awesome! We got to go scuba diving and snorkelling! I was quite scared at first but the guide was super friendly and I  enjoyed it a lot. :)</p><p><br/></p><p>Now we're at the hotel in Florence, waiting for the rain to stop so that we can go to the Uffizi galleries, where all the famous paintings and sculptures can be seen. We're planning on getting a tour guide because it's our first time going there. We've also heard that there are going to be long queues so fingers crossed, hopefully we'll be lucky! </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This is my first day in the city of Malacca. It's also my first time here, so I'm feeling excited. So far, we have just been to the Baba and Nyonya Heritage Museum by trishaw. It was amazing! I really recommend trying out trishaws, especially for tourists as it will be an unforgettable experience. The museum itself was also very interesting. We got to see Baba-Nyonya architecture (which is like the fusion of Chinese and Malay building style) with our own eyes! </p><p><br></p><p>Besides, we also went to Jonker Street by evening. We ate street food for dinner. The food was delicious. After a quick stroll down the bustling street, we bought some souvenirs to share with friends and relatives once we get back.</p><p><br></p><p>Tomorrow, we will be heading to A Famosa, a historical site left by the Portuguese. I heard that the view there is nice and therefore is a good tourist attraction in Malacca. Though I hope that there won't be too many tourists tomorrow as it will be very crowded if there were a lot of them. Anyways, I look forward to tomorrow's trip!</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p><br></p><p>This is the second day of my holiday in Kuta. I've  never been here before so I'm really excited!! Yesterday we walked around the city but it was so hot, I felt like I was going to melt! We were looking for nice souvenirs to buy back to our home. We found nice places to look around for things such as bags with designs, clothes, and many others. This morning, we tried out surfing ! I didn't get to try as I wasn't feeling good. </p><p><br></p><p>We've still got lots of things to do. We haven't found a nice restaurant to enjoy their cuisine, we have only been to their convenient stores as they're close to the hotel and literally convenient. I hope I'll feel better tomorrow to explore more as we only have 2 more days here. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>After 3 years, I'm finally visiting United States with my family again! This time I'm going to a different place, I've been to Florida and this time, I'm going to Los Angeles. Although it's my second time visiting United States, I still felt very excited. </p><p><br/></p><p>On the first day, we woke up early to look at the Los Angeles Sphere waking up. The emoji displayed on the sphere was cute and I liked it :&gt; For breakfast, we ate one of the most famous Los Angeles foods that is French Dip Sandwich, and it was delicious. I wished that I could have a lifetime unlimited supply of French Dip Sandwich.</p><p><br/></p><p>On the second day, we went Griffith Observatory because it is the best place to look at the Hollywood sign. I took a lot of pictures there because I couldn't resist the beautifulness of the view. Then, we went to The Broad. It's a modern art gallery and I'm always excited to visit an art gallery. Believe or not, the greatest art collections are built when the art is being made, The Broads took to collecting art of their own time.</p><p><br/></p><p>I still have a lot of things to share, but I'm too lazy to share it since I think that it's not that interesting. As always, I hope that I can visited Los Angeles again if I had time. I believed that I still have a lot of things to discover in Los Angeles. That all!</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>So, this is my last day of the trip, and I’m trying not to think about it too much—because who wants to say goodbye to Milan, right? Let’s focus on the fun stuff instead.</p><p><br/></p><p>First stop? The Duomo di Milano. This place is beyond impressive—seriously, those spires are no joke. The views were totally worth the leg workout!</p><p><br/></p><p>Afterward, I strolled through the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. I explored the charming streets around the Duomo, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere and enjoying the delightful street performers—because what’s better than free entertainment while you’re in Milan?</p><p><br/></p><p>To wrap things up, I made my way to Santa Maria delle Grazie to say a final farewell to "The Last Supper." Standing there, I thought, "Yep, I could totally get used to having this kind of art in my life every day." But alas, reality calls, and so does the flight home.</p><p><br/></p><p>All in all, Milan was a mix of jaw-dropping sights, delicious food, and "wow, I can’t believe I’m here" moments. "I’ll be back, Milan—just you wait!"</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Today, I arrived at Beijing, China after 9 hours from KLIA. This is my first time travelling to here and I felt very excited. This trip is 7days and 6 night. Now I need to check in to the hotel that I had booked in advance. I can offering a nice view of the city in this hotel. After packing my luggages, I decided to take public transportation to a famous restaurant to try Beijing's renowned roast duck. The restaurant was packed with people, and I had to wait in line for 30 minutes. However, the wait was worth it as the roast duck was incredibly delicious, with a rich flavor that wasn’t overly greasy.</p><p><br></p><p>Following lunch, I visited the National Museum of China located in Tiananmen Square. After purchasing my ticket, I entered the museum, which houses a vast collection of historical artifacts. The visit gave me a deeper understanding of China’s rich cultural heritage.</p><p><br></p><p>Later, I headed to the world-famous Great Wall of China. Standing on the Great Wall, I admired the breathtaking views and ancient architecture.</p><p><br></p><p>As night fell, I visited a bustling night market filled with a variety of street foods. The entire street was filled with the enticing aromas of different delicacies.</p><p><br></p><p>After a long day of exploring, I returned to my hotel. The experiences I had today opened my eyes to the beauty of Beijing, and I’m even more excited about the days ahead. I’m certain that I’ll thoroughly enjoy the rest of my trip.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This is the second day of my holiday in Vienna! I’ve never been here before, so I’m really excited! Yesterday, we went to Schönbrunn Zoo, and we saw many animals such as kangaroos, flamingos, and raccoons. They even had an aquarium and a palm house inside the zoo. The zoo was so grand that it took us about 4 hours to visit.</p><p>Today, after having a light breakfast, we took the train from Vienna to Salzburg. Salzburg is the city where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born. After a 3-hour journey, we finally arrived in Salzburg. I couldn’t wait to visit this baroque city. First, we went to Mirabell Palace; the view was so captivating that I wished I could take more photos, but it was too crowded. We also visited Mozart’s Residence, which was nearby the Mirabell Palace. We saw some manuscripts, documents, and souvenirs, as well as historical musical instruments on exhibit in the museum. This residence was the place where Mozart used to live. Next, we went to Mozart’s birthplace. It was also a museum that exhibits Mozart’s first musical instruments. We had a great time in Salzburg!</p><p>Tomorrow, we’re planning to go to another city, Hallstatt. I think I will really miss this country!</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>It was my first day in Fukuoka, Japan. My family and I were vexed. Upon arrival, we checked in to our hotel and rode the subway to our first destination, the Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine near Fukuoka. People come here all the time to pray for a better future. That’s exactly what we did. We took a few pictures of the shrine. Then, we took a subway again to the local art gallery, the Fukuoka Art Gallery. On the way, we admired the picturesque city view. When we reached the gallery, we were appalled to find that the gallery was closed due to new year celebrations. It was a bummer. :(&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>&nbsp;My family and I decided to indulge ourselves in the local cuisine. However, the only stores that were open looked suspiciously like tourist traps. A lot of tourists were eating there, but we ate there anyway. It was delicious.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>At night, we visited the Fukuoka Tower. The elevator ride to the top was very quick. There was an observatory on the top of the tower, and we could observe the night view of the entire city. We also got our names imprinted on gold chains.</p><p><br></p><p>It was an exhilarating day in the city. I hope I can visit this place again in the future. That’s all fo this blog.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This is the 10th day of my trip in China. My friends, my coach and I went to China not just for a trip. We are having a exchange programme of Xiangqi. Today is the last day for this programme. We went to a lot of resorts such as Canton Tower(广州塔), Suxian Ridge(苏仙岭) and Dong Jiang Lake(东江湖). We also participated an exchanges match in Chenzhou, Hunan. After a few days in Hunan, we had went to Guangzhou by high-speed railway.</p><p><br/></p><p>First and foremost, we went to Dong Hu Chess Academy for an exchange programme. There is a chess academy that teaches Xiangqi, Wei Qi and international chess. This is the last stop of our exchange programme. The coach is very professional. We were happy to learn many skills. We didn't forget to take a photo as a souvenir.</p><p><br/></p><p>After this exchange programme was almost the lunchtime. We decided to visit the Beijing Lu(北京路). It is one of the most famous commercial streets in Guangzhou, and a must-visit destination for both tourists and locals. This bustling pedestrian street is not only a shopping paradise but also a historical site that offers a glimpse into Guangzhou's rich past. We had our lunch there. We tried a lot of local food such as rock candy(糖葫芦). It is delicious. </p><p><br/></p><p>After lunch and desserts time, we played an escape room game name HuiYuan(回源). The story background is at Japan. There has a girl name Ying(樱). She is a member of a Japan religion. She had a boyfriend name SanLang(三郎). The players need to research the things about them. </p><p><br/></p><p>After this escape room game, we searched for other escape room game. However, we didn't find a good escape room game so we went back to the same shop. This time we played another escape room game name 126 Health Centre(126卫生院). The story background is at a health centre. One day, there had a person killed other. The players need to research who is the killer. It is a horrible escape room game. There had some non-people characters will come out to make it horrible. It is nervous and excited.</p><p><br/></p><p>I was happy to have this experience at China. I really want to have a trip to China again in the future.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>It was my first time exploring one of Malaysia's paradises with my friends. I was excited. REALLY excited. I haven't been to a paddy field before; it had always been a distant dream that I thought would never come true. Yet there I was—in some sort of vehicle that looked like a club car, swaying and laughing with my friends, trying not to fall off, all while on the bumpy road to the paddy field.</p><p>At first, I thought I would be greeted by golden yellow patches that spread beyond the horizon, but sadly, I was mistaken. It was all mud, empty, and only had a few blades of green grass-looking weeds. Ah, the disappointment. It didn’t dawn to me that <em>we</em> were doing the planting until we were instructed to do so. It was a bit gross, I thought. No, scratch that. It was EXTREMELY gross. My grandma warned me about the leeches in the mud. That was enough to make me decide to pass. However, with the infuriating urges by my friends, I was convinced(irritated, still reluctant) enough to sink my feet in. The sensation wasn’t…bad, I suppose. It was soft, cool, and overall soothing on my feet(I wasn’t going to admit that to my friends, so I feigned disgusted the whole time. I know, I know, it’s my pride, but who cares, right?). I was then given a bunch of grass-looking weeds, and was instructed to plant them in the mud. It seemed like an easy task as all my friends did it perfectly, yet I was the only one that didn’t plant it quite right. It was slanted, so I pulled it out and planted it again. This time, it was too deeply planted. Frustrated, I threw it into the mud. It was planted perfectly. This tells us that we need to be aggressive in life(Kidding, kidding. It was just luck).<br><br></p><p>After being soaked in sweat, the tour guide brought us to the rice factory. It was a bit boring, we were just explained on how rice was harvested, packed, and sold, and also how many types of rice they have along with its different nutritional values. We didn’t get to see the actual machines, but I wasn’t complaining, I was just savoring the cool air from the air conditioner.<br><br></p><p>Around 6, we went fishing at the pond that was the main source of water for the paddy fields. For the first time in my life, I was actually holding a weapon(fishing rods are weapons, okay? It has a stick and a pointy end. I could easily blind someone with it). We were all given chicken hearts as bait for the fishes. I didn’t catch any fish that day, but I’ll blame it on the chicken heart that was clearly not fresh enough. The fishes that were caught were thrown back into the pond. I couldn’t help but think of the damage the fishing hooks did to their mouths, but the owner clearly didn’t care, and those fishes clearly have gone through it more than once. But at that moment, I was having too much fun to think about that, and only felt remorse when we were eating fish at a restaurant at night.</p><p><br></p><p>The next day, we took the bus to a nearby beach and flew our kites. Perhaps I’ve been spending too much time in the virtual world, because there has to be a reason why I can’t do a simple thing like flying my kite. I ran, of course, but it didn’t fly. After a whole hour, I finally got it to fly and stay flying, but we were already heading back. Oh well, at least I got to learn how that cloth-tied-on-sticks work now, right?</p><p><br></p><p>The trip was…satisfying. I wouldn’t say exhilarating, as I did have my moments of disappointment, but it was still worth my time. Maybe I’d come again when they’re harvesting to get the view of golden weeds shining from the rays of the golden sunlight. Maybe there’ll be a bit more breeze next time.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This is the first day of visiting my relatives and seeing the sights in Singapore. Even though I have been to Singapore so many times, I haven't had the time to see all the beautiful sights here. But this time, my parents decided to bring us all across Singapore to see all the scenery that I hadn't seen before.</p><p><br/></p><p>The first thing u think about Singapore is its amazing airport. Let me tell u now, it was amazing, I've never been to such a gorgeous airport. The activities that you can do there are countless. After visiting the airport, I went to the lion in Singapore which is called The Merlion. It is a lion shooting out water and of course, we took many pictures to remind ourselves of this amazing moment. By the way, when we took pictures it was already night time so it had a lot of beautiful lighting which enhanced the photos we took.</p><p><br/></p><p>On day 2, I went to Universal Studios. I was so excited yesterday that I couldn't sleep. There were so many people when we reached there, but we didn't give up so easily. The most memorable moment for me was when we rode the roller coaster. I remember my parents were screaming so loud. </p><p><br/></p><p>There is still 2 days before going back to Malaysia. I hope my dad prepared amazing activities to do for the following day.</p>]]></description>
