HI Nurse, Macau is a nice place for holiday. Actually my husband wanted to climb up to the Macau tower on top,but I am not dare to try it as the wind was so strong and the sky was getting dark at that time when we arrived. I went to Macau from Hongkong, we spent whole day in Macau,walked ourselves just using map and asking people around. We travelled around by bus,it is pretty cheap to take the bus in Macau. Too bad, me and my husband missed out the night life at Macau. Only when we came back to Malaysia,then we got to know that there was a whole street in Macau full of shops to shop around,we never know about this place before. Next time, If I do have chance to visit Macau,for sure, I will overnight there for at least 2 nights to explore the city well and also wanted to see the nightlife in Macau.

Hi! I was in Macau last June 2006. My bestfriend and I only printed some maps and serach for things to do in Macau. We're also able to cross Hongkong via ferry. It was an awesome adventure being in a foreign land. We got to see a lot of places - Victoria's Peak, Disneyland, Macau Tower and a lot of old Churches there. We were actually daring each other to try the reverse bungee jump but we're not daredevils so we just watch the Koreans do it. It was really fun! :)

My last trip was in January 2009. I took my toddler son to Cape Town and the Garden Route in South Africa. In June 2008 I took my son when he was a year old to Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. During October 2007 I took my son when he was four months old to Portugal. In January 2006 I went to Mexico, Belize and Guatemala. That year I also went to Bulgaria and Romania. During November 2005 I went to the Maldives. I travel when ever I can afford the time and money. There are plenty places on my travel wish list for the future. In 2010 I hope to visit Vancouver in Canada. Happy traveling.

Hi maximax, It seem you are going for holiday every year.That is good for relaxing. You have visited several places and it is a great experience to travel around with your kids. I heard that Maldives is a nice place..never been there before and very far away from my country. I also do hope I can visit canada one day.

Hi Aseretdd, I guess you must be looking forward for your next trip to Kota Kinabalu. I also never been there before. It is actually not that far from my place. I am at sarawak and kota kinabalu is at Sabah. Nowadays,airasia has travelled to so many countries and if you can get the promotion rates,it is pretty cheap to travel around. I always travel back to my hometown using Airasia.Always grabbed the zero fare promotion fares. So have you booked the hotel for your Kota Kinabalu trip? There is Tune Hotels now at Kota Kinabalu,it is not that expensive and located at very convenience place.

Hi Aseretdd, I saw from the Tune Hotels website, the KOta Kinabalu Tune Hotels looks not bad in pictures and somemore the location is so convenience,exactly at 1borneo,that is the biggest shopping malls at Kota Kinabalu. So have you plan well for your holiday?Where to go? How many days trip actually? My parents been to Kota Kinabalu once and actually I helped them to arrange for accomodation,but I forgot which hotel I booked for them that time. You can also search for more info about tourist spots at Kota Kinabalu from website,I believe all the details are easily available online. Happy weekend !!

Yeah, I like to travel too. I was a tour leader before I got married. I leaded tours to some Asia countries like China, Australia and Thailand. But most of the time I would sent to lead China tours as it is the biggest market we had in my company. in peak seasons, I went for 2 tours in a month. But if there was a low season, I just stay in the office as a tour coordinator. After I married I have stop this job and I still will go for my own travel with my hub. We travel at least once in a year. After I have kids I still adjust my time at least to travel once a year, but mostly we wouldn't go too far and shorten the travel days. Now I am planing to go Singapore this year end and to visit my friend. I will travel alone or accompany by another dear friend of mine. This will be the first time I leave my hub and my kids behind, lol.

Hi Shia, I will dump my kids to my mother in law because some of the destinations we went isn't suitable for small kids to travel. Honestly I like to bring my kids to short vacation too. Mostly I prefer local trip for them. The destination isn't too far to reach and they don't get fussy in the whole journey. I like China because they are many province to visit and I like to shop when traveling in China,

. I have been to Beijing, Shang Hai, Jiang nan, Hainan Island, and Guilin. I like to visit flea markets in every city I visit in China. They are many good stuff we can get from flea market such as clothes, Chinese drawings, jades and many more. But I do know not all the people like China. Just my sister she is not fancy to go travel to China. She prefers to go western country. For me, I like to travel to Asia country and western country too. I wish I can visit one country every year.

HI Vingyan, I just knew that you are a tour leader before.That is a good job and too bad you have quited your job. Given a chance to travel around is a kinda of blessing. I never been to China before.So which part of china you have been before? China is a very big country...there are so many places to visit. Oh,year end you will go to Singapore.That is another nice country to visit. I was there before I got married for my study and work. It is always good to travel without kids,but I won't never have that chance. Everytime when I go travel,my son will tag along. My husband wants our son to see the outside world too.

Hey! I've been to Singapore twice already. I was there last year alone! I've booked for hotels online and did a lot of research on the net before going there. I was even able to manage crossing Malaysia from Singapore. It was really fun. That was the best out of town I ever had to date. Don't forget going to Sentosa ang watch the laser light show. It was awesome! Also the luge. Love the ride. What made my travel memorable are the foreign friends I had and they are too are alone. I would definitely do it again in the future.:)

Hi Cwong, I really salute you. I can't imagine that you are so brave enough to travel alone when you are just 15 years old. When I was 15 years old, I never travel abroad and I don't even have a passport with me. Only when I graduated from my senior high school, then my father do a passport for me and at last I went to Singapore to further my studies,that is the first time I went overseas in my whole life. Sure, I will drop you a note when I am in Kuala Lumpur in December.Takecare. happy weekend

Hi Cwong, Oh,travel solo?? Does it mean you travel alone when you are 15 years old? Won't your parents get nervous to leave you out alone? My first time holiday is to Singapore once I graduated from my high school. I was there to search for my university. After been searching about a week, at last I make my final decision to be in Singapore for further my studies. I was in Singapore for almost 10 years before I got married and move back to my husband's hometown. Yeah,I will be going to Kuala Lumpur on 27 Dec for 2 nights stay.Hope can meet up with you too !!

I travel at least once or twice a year. Whether it's an out of the country or an out of town travel. It's something I really love doing. I get to see a lot of new faces, experience different cultures, eat new foods (not exotic) and also a chance to make new friends. On my next travel I probably go to Thailand and do some shopping there as well as see the love Phuket beach and visit the temples. I also plan on visiting Paris so I could see the famous Vatican City and the Eiffel tower. If that happens, that would be one of the most unforgettable travel I will ever had. My Mom says that it's really beautiful in Paris especially during the nights when the Eiffel lights up and changes its color.

Hi NurseMathilda, Paris...that is one of the romantic place to visit.I always dream to go to Paris one day especially at Christmas time. I read from newspaper that paris is very beautiful decorated during christmas time. So when are you going to Thailand? It is a great place for shopping. I never got chance to visit Thailand yet. Since I have one son with me, I don't think Thailand is a good place to bring small kids along for holiday.

@shia88 (4571)

• Malaysia

9 Oct 09

HI NurseMathilda, I heard from people that Thailand is also a shopping paradise,but the place is more complicated and it is best not to bring along kid together. I never been to Phuket beach before. I remembered when I was on Star Cruise with my parents last time, I been to Hattyai once,only for few hours.The things there are super cheap,but I have communication problem as they don't understand English.Most of the staffs in the department stores were speaking Thai language. I also went to eat the Thai Sharkfin,that was amazing and not expensive too. Paris.....hope our dream can come true. My husband told me that Airasia is on the midst of discussion to have flight to Paris from Malaysia, hopefully, I have a chance to visit Paris with these budget airline.

@NurseMathilda (289)

9 Oct 09

Yup, Paris has always one of my dream place. I hope that I'll be able to go there at least before I die and see the beauty of it. I'm wanting for the airline promo for Thailand so I'm not yet decided when it will be. Yup, I don't think that you can bring small kids with you in going to Thailand. You won't be enjoy shopping if you have to look after someone. :)

WEll, I usually travel as long as my wife is on a break.. We usually go to Europe every two months... But usually, we stay in japan fro a month or two before coming back home.. I just don't know why we love Japan too much... We speak their language and the people are great... Hmmm... Maybe there's something about their food that makes us stay longer than expected... Definitely it's their food!

Dear Shia, I am working very hard to make my dream holiday come true! Hoping to bring my family to the wonderful place with beautiful landscape - the land of kiwis - New Zealand

Hahaha, look at my on-line earnings, it seems it has to be put on hold for another few years...LOL. Hold On, God is Great! I still remembered after watching 'Night at the Museum', we were hoping to visit this huge 'Museum of Natural History' in New York. What a big dream, but nothing is too big for God to do! In Aug 2007 God blessed us a trip to New York free of charge courtesy of Buena Vista. We won the contest from the movie 'SpiderMan 3' So far, we have visited Hong Kong, Korea, Eastern Europe courtesy of Hong Kong Tourism, 8TV, Buena Vista and other sponsor! Thank God for making our dream holidays come true..

I would love to be able to go back home to England every year - I have managed twice in 5 years so far, since I moved to America (married an American!) I would love to go back to Italy with my husband, I have been there myself about 5 times. He loves history so I would love to go back to Rome, Florence and Pompeii and show him. Especially Florence which I loved. I would also like to go back to Ireland, where I went to go out and watch wild dolphins on the west coast. For places I have not been already, I would like to travel around more of America. I live in New England and have been to all the NE states now, but I would like to see some of the rest of this country, there is a lot out there!
