Activity: Golf Country: Taiwan City: Taipei Bing Hai Golf Club October, 2007 |
Experience Repeatability |
Bei Hai is about 1 hour north of Taipei along the Northern Coastal Highway in the village of Shi Men. They have 15 holes as you repeat 10, 11, and 12 on different greens for your final 3 holes. It is one of the few courses in Taiwan you can play with out a caddy. The greens are flat and easy. Fairways are open. The fees are really reasonable for Taiwan as golf is marketed as a rich man's game. |

From the Main Station or Airport, you can get everywhere in Europe. Frankfurt is the central hub of all Europe! The people are exceedingly helpful and friendly. |

KL is a beautiful city! Clean and friendly towards visitors. Traveling by car or taxi is sometimes required resulting in a messy jam during rush hour. The food is very wonderful. Everything is worth trying! |

Activity: Sightseeing Country: Czech Republic City: Prague May, 2007 |
Experience Repeatability |
I love Museum Square! The city is a vibrant overload of bohemian archicture, style and art. And is reflected in the civic lives of every Czech. Yet marred by the new flux of drunken hooligans looking for a cheap thrill. Further opening to the EU may bring more pain than relief. Watch out for Taxi drivers! The subway is better and efficient. |

Amsterdam is great. The city is well kempt. Locals ride bicycles everywhere. This is my second time here. My favorite activity was wandering through the residential neighborhoods. The homes and architectures are so beautiful set around the various canals. Buses are very convenient. |

Activity: Shopping Country: Indonesia City: Bali Ubud January, 2007 |
Experience Repeatability |
An artisan village with lots of local artists peddling their craft. We found a great painting here for US$100. Similar size original would be $500-$800 in a flea market. Found a guy who made a custom wood hand carved picture frame for less than $15. And he did it in one day! Lots of talented artist and you will surely find something in Ubud. |

Activity: Sightseeing Country: Italy City: Roma Vatican City April, 2007 |
Experience Repeatability |
Do all Italians so despise all the tourists who bring so much money to their delapidated country? The cafes are so overpriced. The help, well, less than helpful. Maybe it's not Disneyland, but they could sure take a lesson from a little Mickey Mouse. |

Looking for Texas Hold Em? 3rd floor of the Star World Casino, right next door to the new Wynn has electronic Pro Poker Texas Hold Em. You have sign up for a pre-loaded HKD VIP card with your name and nickname. Grab an empty seat if there is any or get on the waiting list and join the Hold Em game. |

Checked out the new Wynn Casino. Classy joint. Lots of Asian favorites, Baccarat, Blackjack and Slots. They say they are trying to introduce Western favorites and will be the first to have a western Roulette in Macau. |
