Central Europe trip

Have an opportunity to attend conference in Ostrava, Czech Republic this week. So Dr Mike and I planned for a two-week trip in Central Europe. We planned to cover Prague, Budapest, Bratislava, Vienna, Cesky Krumlov and perhaps Auschwitz. We arrived in Prague two days ago, that was Saturday morning. Our flight had transit stop in Singapore and Zurich. The flight took us about 15 hours in total. Amazingly, I didn't have much jet lag; probably because I slept more in the flight. Getting to Prague city center was easy. We took a bus then transit to metro. It cost about kc32.00 per person. That's about RM6.00. Not too bad.

Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2

I did not watch volume 1. Thought it was another money-sucking-superheroes-movie. Then I came across its soundtrack. I got hooked. The selection of songs for the soundtrack was very well done. That was volume one. Now, recently I listened to the soundtrack of volume two. Again, I was hooked. Those 70's and 80's songs were great and well fitting with the movie. Because I like its soundtrack, so I watched the movies (both vol.1 and vol.2). I must say vol. 2 has more humor and better characters development. Initially I thought vol. 1 soundtrack is better. After watched the movie, vol. 2 soundtrack is not too bad. Great songs from the 70's and 80's. Awesome mix!

Labuk Bay

After my trip to Dubai last year, I went back to my hometown. That was in late November. This time, number two son was with me. Besides staying in his grandma's house, we went to Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary. It was my first time to that place although the sanctuary has existed for ages. This place is situated right at the edge of an oil palm estate. Very similar to Sepilok, except that you won't find any orang utan. There will be a lot of proboscis monkeys. Feeding time is where you can see all the monkeys coming to the open area to get free food. And of course how could resist to take a photo with the monkeys. All photos were taken with iPhone 5s
