On Vacay...

Finally! Long anticipated break although still checking emails and responding to emails since I came.

Am in Perth, the city where I spent 2 years during my undergraduate days and though they haven't change much it is good to be back. Somehow it doesn't feel much as if I am on holiday but rather like I am coming home.

Today is Day 2 and had been spending them in malls quite a fair bit. Fremantle or Freo as the locals called it, was partially explored and will definitely be back there prior to my return home.

Tomorrow marks the start of my tours down South and then up North, both of which I never did had the chance to explore while schooling here, due to my shoestring student budget. Look foward to sharing my photos with all of you upon my return.

Ritz Carlton Jakarta

Just a day before or 2 days since it is after midnight now, there was a bombing at the Ritz Carlton Jakarta and JW Marriott.

The above photo showed the damage to the hotel's restaurant after the bombing. Photo from CNA.

When I was with my previous employer, I used to stay at Ritz Carlton and have very fond memories of it. I even snapped photos of the hotel room and it should be somewhere in this blog. Frankly if I am staying there, I will probably be having my breakfast at that time and truly, the breakfast spread at the Ritz Carlton was really good. I enjoyed and loved the noodles soup in the breakfast buffet and ate them everyday when I was staying there for about a week.

May the hotel be back to operations and revived its former glory!

Taj Mahal

And for those who are awaiting the star of the show - Taj Mahal

Agra Fort

When the King was under house arrest after being overthrown by his own son.

Food I ate in Delhi

Obviously these are not all I ate during my India trip but these are some I snap and to be honest, didn't enjoy any of these except the 2nd serving of food that I got on Jet Airways. Very nice stewardesses who know I don't like the 1st serving and gave me the 2nd serving after someone ordered a non-vegetarian meal and didn't want to it when he/she boarded the plane.

Delhi Hotel

I didn't take any photos while in Bangalore but snap alot when I was in Delhi and in Agra. You will see alot of my Delhi hotel pictures because I love the room very much.

Photos

My India photos are finally up, I will be posting them in the next few blog entry..watch out for them!
