(Ocober 2011) Rugby World Cup 2011 has gripped Auckland and much of New Zealand for the last month. It has been great fun with colour and fun all over this city. Spring has been a bit of a disappointment with a lot of rain and it seems cooler than usual. Just back from my first trip to Samoa! Wow.. had a fantastically relaxing holiday there! Roll on summer and may it be decent!
People sometimes ask me where my favourite places are. It's a hard one to answer, because I have enjoyed all the places I've been. Everywhere has at least one characteristic that makes it memorable. However, here is the list of places I would most like to return to and a few reasons why.
1. Venice/Venezia, Italia - the combination of water and the unique built environment of this city creates a magical quality that is quite frankly sublime.
2. Naxos, Greece - tranquility, history, and sunshine surrounded by turquoise waters: does it get any better?
3. Indonesia - an exotic and enthralling archipelago of over 17000 islands dan juga saya dapat berlatih bahasaku... saya cinta bercakap-cakap dengan bahasa.
4. Britain - this country has so much history and beautiful countryside, from Cornwall to Scotland: a lifetime could be spent exploring this interesting isle.
5. Spain - I love the culture and the language: one of these days I'll learn Spanish. The lifestyle is great too.
6. Portugal - a restful and gracious land for the traveller to explore.
7. Turkey - I didn't have long enough there: a country of the friendliest people.
8. Malaysia - Saya cinta Malaysia, bercakap bahasanya dan orang mesra!
9. The Pacific Northwest (British Columbia, Washington, Oregon) - sublime scenery! A truly beautiful and friendly part of the world.
10.Samoa - I've seen a fair bit of U'polu. Next time, there's Savai'i to explore. The warmth of the Samoan sun is matched by the warmth of the country's friendly and hospitable people!
Yet to be completed is my VT page for my brief visit to Cambodia at the end of 2008. 2009 saw me make only a couple of domestic trips, but in 2010 I made up for a year with no overseas adventures with two great trips: one to England and one to Indonesia (with a day in Brisbane, Australia thrown in as icing on top). In 2011, I've had a brief escape to sunny Rarotonga in the Cook Islands and in October, 10 days in Samoa - my first trip there! Hopefully I'll finish my Cambodia and Lombok pages before the end of the the year!
