iPod Touch as Travel Guide

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

With cheap ticket from AirAsia, we are travelling more especially young ones. Self tour or backpackers are so common nowadays. I wish to have my own self tour experience too.

Am targeting ShenZhen, ZhuHai and Hong Kong self tour on next year. Yes, self tour for more adventure, more flexible time and less product selling shop. My experience in Shanghai and Seoul told me group tour want us spend more money on their affiliated shop so they get better commissions.

Electronic Travel Guide

Since self tour don’t have tour guide, we need to plan trip by ourself. Travel guide book in bookstore could provide more ideas on attractions, things to do, transport and food. (more…)

I’m Back From Korea Trip

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

Welcome back to Malaysia! I almost want permanent stay in Korea. Haha :)

No doubt Korea is a nice country, higher technology and better security but higher standard of life means goods are more expensive. Also it is hard to communicate with language other than Korean.

I have taken about 2000 photos for the trip. I think need days to select photos for printing and reorganise. So please stay tune for more photos upload.

As a whole, Seoul is a nice city, too exciting to experience International brotherhood when see brothers and sisters in such huge convention, and really tired to travel back from Jeju Island and transfer to Malaysia. Really long hours flight.

Some photos preview for your eye seeing pleasure. Hope you enjoy :)

Travel Korea Seoul Vacation 2009 (13D 11N)

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

It was 2 years ago since our oversea travel to Shanghai. When you read this post, we may on our way to KLIA. This time we are traveling to Korea Seoul for 13Days 11 Nights.

It is our first time to Korea. Longest vacation for almost 2 weeks in my life, so far. Also our first time to travel oversea with such big group of family members. To arrange all well, this trip already planned for more than a year.

We will depart to KLIA this evening and only come back after 2 weeks. During these 2 weeks, I might not able to reply your comments. Please come back visit me more frequent to show your support. I have prepared some scheduled posts during my holiday.

Korea Seoul, I am coming…..Just did a search on Korea weather forecast, almost same with our weather in Malaysia. Hot weather, humid and strong wind.

PS: Travel with me at twitter. I will update tweet if there is wifi connection. (more…)

Nokia Mobile Geotag Photo + Flickr

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

I’m back to Kuala Terengganu again for a week long holiday. No special plan this time. Just hanging around with family member, brother and sister.

With the help of Nokia N82 and Garmin MobileXT v5, I manage to find the shortest distance. Many times I wanted to use Jerangau road (shorter road) but failed, because cannot find the entrance. The seaside road took me at least 7.5 to 8 hours driving time for all passed years. But the Jerangau road only took me around 6.30 to 7 hours of driving time. Save me at least 1 hour!

Nothing much to say about Kuala Terengganu this time. You could see my intro on last post here. I have snap some photos with geotag feature on. I want you to see what I saw, as well as experience the environment along the trip. Click on my travel map (on Flickr) and follow me to travel.

Geotag Photo + Flickr

Perhaps I should upload geotag photo during my travel from now on. More fun when flip back those memorable photos. And as a reference for other travelers.

How to geotag and integrate with Flickr service? Easy. You need to switch ON geotag feature (or name as Record Location) in phone camera setting. Use ShoZu (for Symbian mobile phone) direct upload your geotagged photo. Of course have to turn ON GPS tagging before upload. Goto ShoZU > Settings > Sending > GPS Tagging > ON. (more…)
