Travelling Experience

I enjoy travelling to different countries where I can see different cultures, food, people, traditions and produces.  Only in the past decade, I started travelling to different parts of China. I and my group of volunteers visited the mountainous districts in Hunan, Mainland annually to support the further education of the underprivileged but diligent kids of the ethnic minority.  

Last November (2011) I visited Myanmar where I felt the ancient religion of Buddhism and the cheerfulness of the locals there. They have more than 30 tribes living in harmony in the country. 

I think the sunset by the River Irrawaddy to be charming and enchanting !

I love the local handicrafts in Bagan, Myanmar, the capital of the country's 2nd dynasty.

The people in Myanmar are very warm and friendly!

 The weather in Myanmar is warm and dry.... good for hiking/cycling in the morning and evening.

In Singapore by end of 2011, I was amazed how much the Lion City has advanced and changed! 

In Singapore, I found the cost of living and in particular, entertainment and lifesytle , to be fairly high. The city is sure to be very attractive to visitors who love order and rules.

Singapore is famous for its Orchid flowers... I love flowers...

In the Region of Tamil Nadu, Southern India in December 2011, I stayed with friends and visited to many hill resorts. I admired their cotton goods, vegetarian meals and most friendly people...

Look at this sunset scene near the City Coimbatore... simply unforgettable !

Indian roads in major cities are cramped with trucks, motor cars, bicycles, bull-pulled carts, and tri-cycles!

I treated myself to Indian food from breakfast to dinner everyday for two weeks.... I had no regret at all, their cuisines never disappointed me.

I was so much impressed by interior decorations in the old Otty Hill Club... the old British adventurers knew what they picked!

I visited Mysore, an ancient capital of India, and admired the architecture and relics of the Palace.

Look how beautiful and friendly the young people of India (Mysore Palace) !

India has so much to offer to tourists... and their road netwoks are not too bad at all!

In my mind, England is always beautiful because of its green gardens, fields and Georgian-styled, Tudor-styled, Victorian-styled architectures and houses....

Peaceful river-side walks along River Thames...

At Prospect Park, Reading in January 2012.... the cold weather did not dampen my spirits at all, on contrary, it sharpen my mind!

In the country-side off Sheffield, South Yorkshire, I had enjoyed those scenic spots and walks.

London is a city that gives a feel of vibrant, dynamic, creative people, in a setting of old historical and grand buildings. I love their museums, Art Galleries, cinemas, high-street shops and eateries.

In Shanghai, China I was with one of the students that our charity work had helped completing her degree in Fudan University.

I love the ferry tour at night by Pearl River in Guangzhou.... the lightings are fascinating!

After my retirement, I also started looking around in my beloved city - Hong Kong - for sites and scenes that I have not visited due to work schedule and commitments. I discovered refreshing scenes in the New Territories too. The below is a fishing village in San Mum Chai of Tai Po.

Tin Hau Temple in Sha Tau Kok.

Breath-taking scene at Sha Tau Kok from the top of a hill.
