Welcome to hopang's 36 travel pages!

Warm welcome to Hopang's 36 travel pages from 36 countries visited so far!

INTRODUCTION

Hopang is the name of a constitutional township at Kunlong district in the state of Shan in Burma as well as the name of a small town in China. It is also the name of a popular menu or dish in South Korea. Hopang literally means "easy to let go or release" in Malaysian Hokkien (Fukien or Fujian) and Malaysian Hainanese (Hainan) dialects. We are very proud to use the member name "hopang" at our Virtual Tourist homepage. It is the combination of our family names "ho" and "pang". We are Asians, Malaysian Chinese to be precise. We were born in Malaysia and are now happily living and working in Sweden.

BELOW ARE SOME OF HO & PANG'S TRAVEL INFORMATION AND TRAVEL HISTORY:-

We have travelled to approximately 35 countries around half the globe across several continents. Most of these countries are located within the boundaries of Asia, Middle East, Europe, Australia and Oceania regions. We shall not rest on our laurels. We intend to "conquer" the rest of the world sooner rather than later!

We would like to venture into the United States of America, Canada, Greenland, Central America and South America especially Brazil and Peru one day. Our other dreamed destinations and countries include South Africa and some central African countries including the Safari. A round the world trip and a cruise to the Caribbeans from the United States of America are very much on our mind.

We are extremely proud to share with you some of our most outstanding, spectacular and amazing photographs and videos uploaded from our manual and digital collections. Some of these beautiful images are more than 20 years old, pre-digital of course!

Your unbiased comments (both constructive and destructive) are very much appreciated so that we can improve on our homepage, travel pages, videos and travelogues.

Feel free to e-mail us if you have any questions regarding our travel pages (36 countries), the travel tip reviews (1,064), the videos (86) and the photographs (5,651).

The following particular links are some of our favourite destinations and countries that we have visited so far:- Monaco, Austria, France, Japan, Malta, Greece, Hungary, Estonia, South Korea, Sweden, Germany, Australia, Turkey, Italy, China, Spain, Denmark and Czech Republic.

Kindly click on the above links to see for yourself the fascinating and amazing photographs on our travel pages and travelogues! Don't forget to visit our Malaysia travel page too!

Our travel pages (for easier navigation) were posted and are going to be posted only at country level. In comparison 99% of VirtualTourist members post their travel pages at city level.

We would like to make as many friends throughout the world as possible. Nevertheless if you add us to your friends list, we will add you to our friends list as well.

The joint-photographs (the first photograph on the left) were taken at departure hall of Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) on separate occasions with some of our family members before boarding our flights for overseas vacations.

Kuala Lumpur International Airport is located approximately halfway between Kuala Lumpur, the beautiful capital city of Malaysia and Melaka (used to be called "Malacca" in good old days), a lovely quiet historic city where we used to reside.

The rest of the photographs on the left depict some of our favourite group tour snapshots taken around the world. We love guided group package tours! However most of these group tour photographs were taken in Asia and Oceanic regions.

For your information group photographs are almost never taken on guided group tours arranged by European travel agents.

Simply relax and enjoy the photographs and videos from our travel pages! Once again feel free to e-mail us if you have any questions regarding our travel pages, travel tips, videos and the photographs.

We have many secret admirers who rated our travel tips without posting any comments at our travel pages over the past several months or years. We shall be very grateful if you can post your comments after our travel pages so that we know who you are rating our travel tips! Your ratings of our travel tips and comments on our travel pages are very much appreciated!

    Thank you very much (Sorry for the delay, but I've been "out" for the best reason - the arrival of the first grand son)

    Thank you kindly Ho&Pang for visiting my Kelso page. Just one of those neat things I have wanted to always to explore. So it was fun to finally see it. I enjoy exploring the old train depots and mining towns. Have a lovely day!
