The World From My Eyes

Salam, Today I wanted to review a hostel that I stayed during my recent trip to Penang. The hostel is called Queen's Hostel and it's located at Queen Street, George Town. They also call themselves female friendly hostel which I kind of agree as I felt safe when I stayed there and equipped with girly stuffs. In front of the hostel Colourful stairs to the first floor I stayed at the dorm room upstairs. It was very comfortable and you feel very safe as the upstairs dorm is secured with security lock. The dorm beds are canopy-like and you will have your own private space. The canopy beds on the first floor The individual canopy beds I love these individual beds I would really recommend the dorm for female single traveler or if you're traveling with girlfriends. But if you do have male companions traveling with you, they can stay at the private room on the ground floor. Private room on the ground floor Reception and ground floor They have all...

Day 10: Our last day Down Under as we’re scheduled to fly back to Malaysia the next day. We started to the day by driving to West End Market. This was the place that we used to go at least once a fortnight to do grocery shopping as you can get a variety of fresh goods here for a reasonable price. Those days we took the citycat across the river and then bus with our trolley or Cole’s shopping bag to buy our pantry needs.  West End Market, just how I remembered it Our favourite vege and fruit stall during uni days We had our breakfast of Hungary doughnut, Langos and fresh fruits, then head we drove down to Gold Coast.  Choosing fruits for our breakfast Hungary doughnut, Langos, Strawberries and Cherries for breakfast Our destination for the day was Harbour town for some shopping before we went back home. We (I to be exact) shopped a lot even though there wasn’t much sale going on. Shopping time at Harbourtown D uring lunch, we bumped into familiar faces ...

This is an additional post on Japan that I'll share my experience with the transport system there and the places that I stayed while I was there. Personally, I think the best way to travel around Japan is using the Japan Rail Pass, this is only if you want to cover a lot of places. It would be a waste of money of you're only planning to go to Osaka or Tokyo only. But if plan to cover a lot of places in a short time, I would really recommend this Japan Rail Pass. The rail pass comes in three packages; 7 days, 14 days or 21 days, The price depends on the number of days that you want to purchase. The more days it's valid for, the higher the price (common sense right?). I bought the 14 days rail pass as I'll be in Japan for 16 days. The days that I didn't use the ticket, I bought the normal ticket, which was a bit expensive. For example, it costs me ¥2000 (about AUD20) from Osaka Airport to Kyoto.  The ticket from Osaka Aiport to Kyoto (front and back) Tick...
