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. |

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: 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. |

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. |

Went shopping with Selena in some district of Taichung. Became fixated on bubble skirts and HAD to find one. Did find a cute brown and white swirly one in a kind of silk material. Am next on a mission for a green top - primary green, of course! |

Dad doing great - pointed out 2 blue ribbon eels + a large green moray eel. FINAL THOUGHTS: Marlin Bay Resort did an excellent job and definitely recommend. However preferred the previous trip (both seclusion and diving) at Kadavu. |

Wreck at ~85ft. Did not penetrate, but looked like that would have been fun. Great snorkeling afterwards, almost touched small white-tip shark while free-diving. Freedove to 30'. Saw school of barracuda. |
