Blogs by 圆圆: Don't miss the orange trees
http://yuanyuanchin.blogspot.com/2007/06/dont-miss-orange-trees.html
Tuesday, 19 June 2007. Don't miss the orange trees. Went to Hanoi with Tony and Andy to meet the MOF just before Chinese New Year of 2007. Perhaps I should call it Lunar New Year to be more PC. The determination to display orange trees at home certainly rivals that in HK. These scenes were common on the streets of Hanoi. Tony insisted that I must take some street photos as they would disappear in a few years' time. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Chill out in Taipei.

Blogs by 圆圆: Noodle and massage in 桂林
http://yuanyuanchin.blogspot.com/2007/07/long-weekend-in.html
Sunday, 8 July 2007. Noodle and massage in 桂林. This not very exciting looking vermicelli is the famous 桂林米线. Since we are actually in Guilin, it's simply called 米粉. Seems like 米粉 is the staple diet of the place as we saw locals eating it for breakfast, lunch and dinner! We were taken to this little 大排挡 (sounds funny to say little big "pai dang"! By our lady taxi driver who brought us from the airport to the hotel. She managed to convince us that we should book the ferry tickets to go to 阳朔. Thinking abou...

Blogs by 圆圆: Musee Rodin
http://yuanyuanchin.blogspot.com/2007/06/musee-rodin.html
Tuesday, 19 June 2007. I don't know very much about arts and culture, especially not French ones. For some reason, I very much like sculptures that are displayed outdoors. Musee-rodin.fr) in Paris is one of my favourite museums. It's small enough that you don't get overwhelmed (unlike le Louvre) but rich enough to keep you busy for at least half a day. Not to mention the wonderful garden of Hotel Biron (in which the museum is housed) where several amazing pieces of Rodin's work are displayed.

Blogs by 圆圆: 漓江漂流
http://yuanyuanchin.blogspot.com/2007/07/blog-post.html
Sunday, 8 July 2007. One of the highlights of visiting 桂林 and 阳朔 is to enjoy the scenery of 漓江 between and around these 2 towns. Didn't realise that 漓江 comes all the way down to 广西 province (just goes to show how little I know about China geography.). Images courtesy of Chai Yew Wei. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://yuanyuanchin.blogspot.com/2007/07/dragons-back-rice-terraces.html
Sunday, 8 July 2007. 龙脊梯田 (dragon's back rice terraces). It was worth it. We had to get up at 6.30am in order to make the 3hour trip from 阳朔 to 龙胜 (which turned out to be much longer, but that's a diff story) in order to visit the rice terrace (梯田) since we had to catch a flight back to HK at 6pm the same day. Despite the rain, we still had an enjoyable time hiking up. Perhaps due to difference in micro climate, while we saw quite a lot of paddy fields in 阳朔 starting to bear flowers and the fields beginn...

Blogs by 圆圆: Thailand International Balloon Festival 2008
http://yuanyuanchin.blogspot.com/2008/12/thailand-international-balloon-festival.html
Saturday, 27 December 2008. Thailand International Balloon Festival 2008. I jumped on P'Dao's invitation to go to the International Balloon Festival held in Khao Yai (literally means Big Mountain) National Park. It's a 2-hr drive from Bangkok. Road trip with one of my best friends and her lovely daughter (N'Maii) sounded like good fun. En route we visited Lam Tad Khong dam in Nakhon Ratchasima province. We had lunch at a restaurant with a gorgeous view of the reservoir. 3 January 2009 at 01:21. View my c...

Sunday, 13 March 2011. Can I be a role model if I don't have a family? Am I considered a failure through the lens of the traditionalists? Many friends, associates (whose opinion I didn't seek! Commented that I'm too picky, therefore no. I used to just give my standard reply of "No la, I'm not that picky. Others just don't find me attractive." I would like to change that now - Yes, I am picky! Why shouldn't I be? Http:/ news.sina.com.hk/cgi-bin/nw/show.cgi/3/1/1/1287967/1.html. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
