Purely Bali
Turtle Island
I have never know Bali has got a sanctuary to breed sea turtles. As someone who loves nature, this is actually a main attraction to me. I want to see and hold the turtles in my arms and embrace them with love. I also got to know that many species are being bred here with the attention of professionals. That's good to know that they (the turtles, of course!) are in good care. I can’t wait to see them and have some pictures with those cute little sea creatures.
Dolphin Watching
Dolphins?!! Gosh, I really thought that I need to be in Australia to see dolphins! Well, in order to see those active swimming dolphins, we need to take a cruise ride to the deep ocean. I believe the dolphins would be more than happy to welcome us and dance for us in the sea as their welcoming act. Boy, really can’t wait to see these rare marine mammals in the nature. I must have my camera ready for them!
Uluwatu Temple
A temple built by the cliff above the ocean. The scene here is so amazing that it almost took everybody’s breath away whenever they see it. Well, to me, this place is special because I have never seen a temple built so near to the ocean before. What more, by a cliff! My friend told me there were a lot of monkeys around when they were there. Again, get ready your peanuts guys!
Ubud
This place, I heard, is absolutely an artistic place. There are batik paintings, wood carvings, stone engravings and other kinds of art (you name it!), can be found easily here. In other words, it’s the haven for artists and creative people to gather and show off their talents and masterpieces. Actually, I think Ubud itself is already an artwork of nature. Look at the picture below and you will know what I mean.
Tanah Lot Temple
Another temple built by the ocean. But this one, it is situated on top of a big piece of rock, by the Indian Ocean offshore. The special highlight here is that the temple would be surrounded by sea water by every sunset.
Spa
Spa! Spa! Spa! What a great way to pamper yourself! My friend told me spas here are at reasonable prices and said that you have never been to Bali if you have not tried out their spa treatments. I bet I would be the first one to indulge myself in their signature treatment here.
I have actually booked my tickets to Bali for my coming trip. How about yourself? If you have not done so, no worries! PYO Travel.com is the way to go…
BALI, HERE I COME!!!
P/S : Thanks to Ms Felicia for her beautiful pictures of Uluwatu Temple & Tanah Lot Temple...

A Love-Hate Relationship
I love Singapore being my neighbour. It is my time of shopping extravagance whenever I go over for a visit. (at least once a year, usually year end) Who have not heard of Singapore’s infamous Pre-Christmas Sales and Boxing Day Sales? It’s quite fanatical, I’d say from personal experience. As a shopaholic, I think I gel into the atmosphere pretty decently.
It is by no coincidence that June is fast approaching (in 5 days!) Singapore is changing its facet as it dresses itself up to welcome you to its mid-year island-wide mega sale with offers up to 70%. For a more thrilling shopping experience, join the Great Singapore Shopping Challenge where you may stand a chance to be crowned as the ULTIMATE Bargain-Hunter/ Huntress.
Don’t resist it, treat yourself and indulge in this irresistible offering of great bargains! It’s not sin for some self-pampering once awhile.
P.S. - If you don’t already know what I mean when I say there are a ‘zillion’ malls on Orchard Road, you can check it out here, and then book your trip with a click right over here.

I’ll Make You a Bet in Macau…
Will you become the next lucky star who walks out as the biggest winner to become an instant millionaire? Who knows?
What I do know is the ever present thrill of laying down a wager at one of the world’s largest, highest-volume gambling centre in the world --- Venetian, Macau.
Being a bigger, more extravagant creation of its sister-casino in Las Vegas, USA, Venetian Macau Resort Hotel treats you to a luxurious experience through stunning replicas of Venice landmarks.
Imagine the grandeur of St. Mark’s Square, the rustic reddish brown stone Campanile Tower and the majestic arch pillars of Doge’s Palace lined-up in unison. It is not your average jaw-dropping splendor and lavishness at Venetian when you step into this massive mega structural design.
If testing out your lucky stars at the machine slots or game tables is not your cup of tea, there are always the best-served stylish gourmet restaurants for you recharge and to savour the various taste of the world or back to the local Macanese flavours after your day of shopping.
There are also non-stop show times for you to pick! Be it toe-tapping along the electrifying dance shows; rub shoulders with super star live-in-concert, or be enthralled with a magic performance more than just pulling out a rabbit-from-the-hat-trick. If you crave for more, there’s the all new world renowned show – Zaia by Cirque du Soliel. I can guarantee you to be spellbound by its blend of music, drama, dance, and magic!
There are also other big-names mega casinos in Macau, but I don’t want to overwhelm you with too much excitement in one-‘read’. They are all so exhilarating! Till then, more to come in future on Macau!
Don’t wait for me to post more before your visit to this splendid excitement-filled place. You can always check it out Now.

A Beautiful Place Called Hanoi
2. Temple of Literature Think Temple of Literature, think Confucius! Don’t be surprised if someone tells you that this Confucian temple is the first university in Vietnam. You can find names of scholars being crafted on the stone walls on top of big stone turtles being displayed there. I guess the turtles represent longevity.
3. Old Quarters
This is one of my favourite spots in Hanoi. Do include this in your "must-visit" list. This is where you can find various exciting things here; food, drinks, clothes, art pieces, handicrafts, souvenirs, traditional medicine, toys, bags, watches and the list goes on… You would be surprised with all sorts of things here every minute! And also don't leave your calculators at home... the best tool for bargaining!!!
Cock Fighting Islet...
This is my favourite place of all! Halong Bay is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Frankly speaking, I have never been surrounded by so many beautiful rocks and isles in the middle of the sea before. Staying overnight in the middle of the sea gave me a new experience which I would never want to forget. Imagine lying down on the top deck of the junk, looking up to the sky with the bright moon glowing in the dark, sipping a glass of chilled red wine… Oh, what a great way to enjoy life!
When we were in Halong Bay, we also explored Sung Sot Cave and managed to see so many stalactites and stalagmites naturally formed into various shapes and sizes. By the end of our journey in the cave, upon reaching the exit of the cave, we saw the best view of Halong Bay ever!
5. Super Sweet Pineapples
There were so many mobile stalls moving about along every roads of Hanoi. If you happen to see one selling pineapples, wait no more! Stop them and buy some from them. The mini pineapples are super sweet that you would never regret munching the whole fruit in the public!
Couldn’t wait longer for my next trip there. Have you been to Hanoi before? Don’t hesitate to share your experience there with me. For those who have never been to Hanoi, click PYO Travel.com to start your wonderful journey to a beautiful place called Hanoi.

Where dreams come true...
- Anaheim, California
- Orlando, Florida
- Tokyo, Japan
- Paris, France
- Hong Kong
I remember the time when I was still a little girl. I would excitedly read my Mickey magazine from cover-to-cover when it got delivered to my classroom. I would have my Minnie Mouse stuffed toy accompany me to Disney Land in my dreams. I would watch every Disney cartoons more than a zillion times.
I am proudly a Disney fan!
Are you one too?
Even if you’re not, Disneyland has a place for everyone. Whether you are going there with friends, with your special love one, with your family… expect a great time there!
I did! It was awesome! Last year, I just had my chance experiencing childhood again at Walt Disney World, Orlando in Florida, USA. I giggled like a little girl as I explored the four parks: Magic Kingdom, Epcot, MGM, and Animal Kingdom. But that’s not where I want to talk about today. With H1N1 threatening so many lives in the US, let’s go to an alternative that is equally nice, and much more nearer to us– Disneyland, Hong Kong.
Disneyland Hong Kong encompasses Fantasyland, Adventureland, and Tomorrowland. Before you actually get to the main entrance to these enchanted lands, you’ll walk through the exciting Main Street, USA.
Here’s to give you a tiny glimpse of magic for you at what you’ll find at Disneyland, Hong Kong, where dreams come true.

Escapade to Phuket!
Option 1 : James Bond Island
I think most of us know why it’s called James Bond Island but for those who are wondering, let me show you why :
Can you see James Bond there? Haha! Actually the island was used as one of the shooting locations of the 1974 James Bond movie, “The Man with the Golden Gun”. Cool...!
Popcorn ? Care for a movie with me?According to PYO Travel.com, the fee to James Bond National Park only costs THB200 per person (equivalent to MYR22 only). Quite reasonable!
Option 2 : Phi Phi Island
What a cute name?! Got to know that Phi Phi Island is separated into two islands; one big, one small. The big one is called Phi Phi Don Island while the small one is called Phi Phi Ley Island. "Monkey Beach" can be found in Phi Phi Don Island. Don’t forget your bananas!!! (and peanuts too!)
The package from PYO Travel also offer free snorkeling session for us in Phi Phi Ley Island… The best part is that life jacket, mask and snorkels are included!!! Hurray!!!
Picturesque places like Lho Sa Mah Bay, Phi Leh Cove and Viking Cave presents beautiful sceneries where can be found in no other places.
Lho Sa Mah Bay
Phi Leh Cove
Viking Cave – Swallows’ favourite hang out place, which eventually is the best place for birds’ nest collection.
See! Told ‘ya it’s difficult to make up my mind on which island to go – James Bond Island? Or Phi Phi Island? Both sounds equally attractive, right?!
If you were me, which one would you choose? Feel free to drop by PYO Travel.com for more information and don’t forget to tell me your answers in the 'Comments' column.
Discover THREE Reasons To Go To Bali
There’s always a certain time and season in every place. We know not to go the deserts in summer months, we know not to go to disease infected countries (H1N1), and our advisor in our mind counsel us on so on and so forth.
So why is it the Best Time to visit Bali now?
Every westerner is green with jealousy with Malaysians experiencing 365 days of awesome summer climate. They can’t wait till their July holiday break begins and hop onto a plane and land themselves on a nice beach to tan. So why would we want to battle in booking our vacation and then find ourselves on a crowded beach and other attraction with only enough space to barely breathe? So get there before everyone else does!
When is the Best Season to visit Bali?
Now. Malaysia shares similar weather with Bali. The temperature has been soaring high at 36°C or over. Rain or no rain, it’s the same season to us. We have gotten so used to it that we forget about seasons. Yes, there is a season for traveling to Bali. Beside dry and rainy, there’s Peak Season. We want to avoid that. With peak season, all prices will most probably be hike up and we will find ourselves having to combat for a serene, quiet spot for relaxation. Let us not burden ourselves further on a vacation trip and drive ourselves crazy. It’s not worth it.
Can I really get the Best Price Now?
Yes! Didn’t I just tell you that the prices go up during peak season in July? Well, unless you manage to get a steal, which is hard, go now! I have a good place for you to check it out. Click HERE.
