I Am The Unstoppable Explorer !

I love to travel and i like to watch Korean drama . I have been to Korea 3 times  and travel to Korea just because i want to visit the drama site
Drama explorer like me  has few challenges as we need to take sometimes different transport eg bus, subway or maybe  walk just to get to the location.
In Korea  , u might face some language barrier as some local doesn't know English  u even need to use body language if u want to buy or ask something.
All explorer must have COURAGE to get to their destination.

The most difficult thing is, ifthe drama site is rarely  visit by anyone  ( in other word no one has blog it in English or Bahasa Malaysia lol or the info is so general and not specific).

It is advise,u need to :
1. Go out early morning   ( as u has the potential to get lost) .
2. Keep the drama location photo . We can always screen capped the photo.U need this to refer to
local as not everyone drama fan. Instead of word(u don't know how to speak in Korean language) u can just show  the photo. I believe "go straight , right , left " it is still understandable be it word or hand gesture.

What gadget do u need ?
My top priority is Smart phone. This is because u it can be your alarm, database ( your screen cap photo store)  and other apps to assist . Eg subway map , basic dictionary.
of course when u have smart phone u need to bring along to extra battery or power bank so u can use it maximally.

Love Rain drama site /set (Yoona and Jang Geun Seuk) that i manage to go after research and some q n a with local .

Although i like Korean drama but i still cant manage to master the language. So even when I'm in Korea i don't want to miss my favourite drama with subtitles. Thank you for Astro- On-The Go i can still watch in via Astro- On - The - Go application in my hand phone.

When ever where ever during travel i can still watch my favourite Korean drama or show.

Labuan Malaysia - Cuti Cuti Malaysia


Sunset view from Labuan jetty

"Labuan is a federal territory in East Malaysia. It is made up of the homonymous Labuan Island and six smaller islands, and is located off the coast of the state of Sabah. Best known as an offshore financial centre offering international financial and business services via Labuan IBFC since 1990 as well as being an offshore support hub for deepwater oil and gas activities in the region. It is also a tourist destination for people traveling through Sabah, nearby Bruneians and scuba divers. The name Labuan derives from the Malay word labuhan meaning harbour. " Thank you Wikipedia huhu

I bought flight ticket to Labuan with only RM100 return during sales. I have this must do list which include " i must go to all states n federal territory in Malaysia" so  Labuan is the last destination. Kyaa - mission accomplished !

Hotel Sara - recommended by my cousin.
I feel safe n comfortable because of this :


The rate is affordable. Kalau govt officer dpt lagi murah.
On the first day we went to Pulau Papan . You have to ride motorboat and they charge us RM80  return.
You can go to Sabah , Brunei via ferry using this terminal
Sadly we dont bring our passport or else we can just drop by Brunei.

The motorboat jetty is just besides the terminal
our ride



they have chalet but u have to bring your own  food here
a school of fish at jetty




clear water
spot the crab!
Second day :
We rent a car - proton for rm80  and went to all this attractions in the morning.
On evening, my cousin brought us to Peace park / Taman Damai and treat us seafood !!


The Chimney
The chimney is remain mysterious as in reality it is not a chimney ( no trace of fire residue) some said it may be use as lighthouse
inside chimney
Jame' Mosque

 


War memorial
Many soldier were killed during the Borneo War, most of it r Australian




Peace Park / Taman Damai
This is also because of past war. The park is built by Japanese so the concept is similar to Japanese park

Peace  is the best !

After that we watch sunset again !

On the same day it is my friend birthday so we celebrate with statifying our crave for crab!



Ketam masak butter :) sedap
