Europe Trip. Day 6: Magny-le-Hongre, France

-
You ask, where the heck is Magny-le-Hongre? Well, it's actually a commune, or administrative division, under the Île-de-France region, which is the same as Paris.

Then you ask again, why is it so interesting that we came to this place? Well, we came here only for two reasons: shopping and excitement! Rather than shopping at Latin Quarter or Av des Champs-Élysées, we decided to shop at La Vallée Village, which is located within Disneyland® Paris! To get the best out of this trip, we spent 2 nights at Kyriad Disneyland® Resort!

The Thalys train headed to Paris Nord Station at 1.13 pm from Brussels-Midi. We embarked on coach number 15 for the comfort seat. There were three major types of seats: standard, comfort, and premium. After about a one-and-a-half-hour journey, we changed to the Paris RER express train to Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy station. Our resort hotel is just a 10-minute drive from the station by taxi.

Indian Ocean Escapade. Day 1: Kuala Lumpur - Malé, Maldives

-
Image
Our trip to Malé, Maldives, was a mix of excitement and relaxation. From smooth flights to scenic speedboat rides, we had a wonderful time exploring Maafushi Island. This journey gave us peaceful sunsets, tasty meals, and the chance to soak up the beauty of this tropical paradise.  We started our journey early in the morning at Terminal 1, Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL). Our flight was scheduled for 10:20 am with Batik Air, flight number OD 293. The check-in process was smooth, and we were ready for the adventure ahead. The flight took 4 hours and 25 minutes, crossing over the stunning Indian Ocean. We landed at Velana International Airport (MLE), Male, around 1 pm local time. The view from the plane as we approached Male was breathtaking—clear blue waters and tiny islands dotting the ocean. After landing in Male, we headed to counter 13 for the Kaani Speed Boat service. It’s an efficient way to get from Male to nearby islands like Maafushi. We boarded at around 2 pm for ...

China Ancient Trip, Day 1-2: Hong Kong

I was here, HK airport! We went for a holiday to China between October 18 and 28, 2013.  Our holiday often will visit at most 3 cities where we will be staying at least two nights in each place.  Historic sites, museums, landmarks, and so on are places that not only do we visit, but we will explore the best possible, given that we have the opportunity to be there. As has been said, tourists take pictures; the travelers keep the memories. :P oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo We landed at Chek Lap Kok airport in the late Friday evening. Flight MH432 to Hong Kong took nearly 4 hours, and it has the same time zone as Malaysia. No jet lag or anything, but we still feel the fatigue of travel. Anyhow, a brisk immigration procedure at the HK airport made things easier. We had booked in advance a round-trip Vigor's shuttle bus that cost HKD $103 for 3 persons. The ride crossed Lantau Island and Kowloon before reaching Hong Kong Island. It was raining heavily at KLIA; I ha...
