Vibe Hotel, Surfers Paradise Gold Coast

 

view from our room-Vibe Hotel

Disebabkan masa pegi Jepun ,terlalu banyak mengoogle...sampai sakit kepala (tapi still berbaloi) so kali ni pegi GoldCoast macam takpela amikla ground yang org dah prepare kalu affordable amikje....elokla pegi matta Fair ada pakej termasuk whale watching...
Woots !memang pegi waktu June ni semata2 nak tengok paus... hehe
Australia ni terbalik dengan yang lain tempat lain June musim panas tapi dia musim sejuk.
Waktu pergi ni max 22'c minimum 14'c . Baru nak start musim sejuk.
Kami amik pakej ground ni sekali pegi movie world + paradise farm + 4n stay kat Vibe Hotel(breakfast) n termasuk semua transfers  dari Pnl travel rm1398 sorg.

Duration flight 8 jam kami sampai Gold Coast, 7:30 am waktu sana.Beza 2 jam awal dari Malaysia 
Kul : 5:30 Am : GoldCoast : 7:30 Am

Kami naik van transfer sampai di hotel dalam pukul 9am. Bagusnya bilik dah sedia takyah tunggu waktu check in sebenar , yeay dan dpt river view... cantik.

  
Dalam bilik pun ada electric kettle, iron semua senang. 

Lepak-lepak minum teh tgk view sungai ni memang menarik. Ada jugak pakej river cruise. Nak pegi pantai Surfers Paradise bertentangan ngan hotel pun dlm 5-9 min dah boleh sampai.






Breakfast: Umumnya breakfast buffet maka yang halal tu cereal ngan buahle. Hot Chocolate dia mmg umpph.

Keseluruhannya hotel ni ok, lokasi pun ok ( dekat dengan bus stop) tempai nak pick up semua.
Yang tak bestnyer hotel ni wifi di lobby sahaja dan terhad hanya pada 30min setiap 24jam. Maksudnya kalu hari ni login 8mlm , esok 8mlm baru boleh guna free wifi.
Makanya sapa2 yang prefer free wifi dari breakfast carila hotel lain. hahaha

Jap tulis dalam english kut dorg google. lol

My review of Vibe Hotel - location is  nearby Surfers Paradise, able to check in early and  late check out 4 1 hour,thanks , beautiful view,+ basic necessities. The only disadvantages will be : free wifi is only up to 30 min at the lobby. It will be my perfect  accom if they include free wifi in the room.
 

Australia socket

3 pin socket

Nasib baik sebelum pergi baru perasan eh takde socket ni kat universal adapter (tapi unversal )lol...sempatla singgah ke Jusco.
Ada jual siap Australia /NZ punya rm5+ je. Beli sekali extention head so senang 3sekali device 1 adapter.

yang penting dia punya pin kena senget

2.Bagitau ubat dan makanan yang dibawa / Declare whatever medicine and food you bring to Aus
Kenala rajin2 baca web ni http://www.daff.gov.au/biosecurity/travel/cant-take or blog2 org yang berpengalaman. Ini termasuklah ubat dan makanan.
Bawak panadol pun dinasihat declare ok. Memang dorang jaga apa yang keluar masuk dari benua Australia. Pulau kan...Milo 3 in 1 pun takle bawak masuk...sebab mengandungi susu.Kalau ada baby , bawak susu tu pun kena declare.... Tapi jangan risau , sampai Australia kat 7e ada jual Milo made in Australia.hehe.Serunding semua tu pun takle bawak....

Anyway trip kali ni  Maggi cup dan Yeos Sambal ikan bilis ni je....declare tau... (selain dari takut tak jumpa makanan halal nak jimat duit makan ) bajet sangat gitu...banyak je kedai halal  kat Goldcooast ni tapi reganyalah .nak makan seafood pun boleh dah tepi laut kan.

Arrival card

dah tulis tu kalau tak sure tanda je Yes.N nanti bila pegawai tanya cakapjela bawak aspirin /panadol untuk medicine.. kalu food tu biasala instant noodle...hehe.

so kami takde apa2 masalah. Kalau tak declare nanti kena denda. Malah kalau ikut pengalaman kakak pegi Melbourne kat epot sana siap ada anjing pengesan lg... punyalah strictkan.

selamat maggi dan sambal saya

Busan Attractions

I'm preparing my itinerary for Busan trip. First place i want to visit is  Busan Gamcheon Culture Village

The village is also known as "Santorini on the South Sea" because of its similarity with village in Santorini. Both are colorful and beautiful. You can also find beautiful mural in between the alley.

Photo from KTO

More photo and info HERE

2. Diamond bridge or Gwangandaegyo Bridge

This is one of Busan landmark. The bridge is more beautiful at night because of its light. In some occasion or celebration event visitors can also view fireworks here.

3. Jagalchi Market
Busan is a port city so it is a heaven for seafood!! This is also the place where you can eat live squid !!
You can buy any seafood at Jagalchi and later ask them to cook for you. Yummy , fresh from the sea.

There are a lots of other attraction and i just highlight my "Top 3"
We can either fly direct to Busan or take KTX ( Fast train ) from Seoul.
Cant wait for the trip...hmm AirAsia still promoting their free seat sales....lets go to Busan !
This video from 2PM ( Nichkhun, Wooyoung ,Junho)  and Choi Ji Woo (narrator) really makes me want to go to Busan.   FYI Wooyoung is  Busan namja.
In this Lotte video they went to Gamcheon village.

World Cup Fever : Team Korea Republic

The 2014  Brazil WC will kick off on 12 June 2014. Korea Republic team is in Group H.
2002 World Cup marked the highest rank for Asian team as team Korea (The Reds) reach semifinal ! Dae Han Min Guk ! / Go Korea ( the unique cheer for team Korea ). You can even hear this cheer in TV during the match.

I remembered when Korea / Japan is the host ,that is the nearest location from my country but I'm still studying back then...no money .Hmm i can only visit the Seoul World Cup stadium to reminisce the 2002 WC. I am Team Korea supporters , well since my country is not in the final, I will support Team  Korea. One of my travel bucket list is to watch World Cup match "live", i hope the host will be back to Asian continent in future.I never miss watching World Cup matches since high school because of its thrill and suspense.

The heroes for 2002 Ahn Jung Hwan,Park Ji Sung,Lee Young Pyo etc already hang their boots but at that time  I'm seriously so proud of them!!! They beat Italy!!!*2002 also is  the last use of the Golden  Goal rule.

Ahn Jung Hwan

JS Park

In last World Cup ( 2010) KTO organize World Cup Street Cheering at Ampang. All of us wear the Red Jersey and shirt to support Team Korea. It is so fun , they even bring the drum to cheer the team. Of course nothing beat the joy of celebrating goal with other fellow supporters ! Hopefully there is another event for this year World Cup.

What do i expect for World Cup 2014?
It might been a slow start as they lost to Tunisia but let us judge on the real match. Let's have faith to Hyung Myung Bo 's team. At least reach semifinal again ?? Please remember your supporters are not just from South Korea, but from other fellow Asian country too. Aja Aja Fighting !!  Cant wait to wear my red jersey^^

Harbour Plaza Resort City , Hong Kong

I really like this hotel serviced suites, it is spacious. The only disadvantage is limited wifi (only at lobby).
It is located next to mall and only 40 minutes ( by road ) to Disneyland.
Nearest MTR : MTR Tin Shui Wai Station

Electric kettle provided, daily complimentary water 

 

 

mini kitchen with microwave + double hotplate

large fridge

Best thing for Malaysian and Singaporean travelling to Hong Kong ....no need to bring special adaptor. We use the same 3 point plug..advantage of Commonwealth country , i guess.
