Cruise Vacation

Anyone who have ever been on a cruise will raved about it non-stop and look forward to different cruises on a yearly basis. I know of one such blogger.. who does it at least yearly .. and with her whole family and close friends. I can assure you that there is more to do on a cruise than on any land vacation. Food and beverages are endless and entertainment is non-stop on board. From swimming to golf and even cabaret nights. Get invited to eat with the captain or take the first dance with a loved one. Above all .. cruises are great.. and very enjoyable.. well.. except for the ones with motion sickness.

We try to hit Swiss Chalet at least once.. when we are up .. in Halifax. PB is big on Swiss Chalet.. and since he is so good.. and all driving me up there.. and letting me eat whatever i want.. i’ve gotta be nice too right..?? and let him eat something he likes. There there.. you see it folk.. a quarter chicken is what he always order.. and same here. Swiss Chalet is cheap.. but it’s not as good as they had it many years ago.. anymore… mixed vegies.. just some cauliflowers.. and broccoli that he hates.

Dubai Apartments

When folks talk about Dubai .. the think about the sand dunes and the desert. Yes.. some ppl still think that Dubai is all about the unpopulated.. and associate them with sandstorms. But truth be told, Dubai is the fastest growing city in the world. The Dubai today is flashy, fun and slightly surreal. Known for its sand, sun and shopping, this once upon a time tranquil town built by Persian Traders and Bedouin fisherman and pearl divers, has shiny skyscrapers everywhere.

One of course can find hotels running out of the coastline and a vast artificial island at Palm Jumeirah, the world’s 8 wonder. And not forgetting their award winning International Airport. Dubai is actually quite a cosmo if you ask me, with cuisine like thai and yum chas on Fridays, it’s is definitely more modern and advance, than where I am not.

November to April is the best time to plan a vacation to Dubai, as the weather is the coolest then. Don’t go on Ramadan for obvious reasons of course, it’s the fasting month. But if you want to pay the best rates for dubai hotels, up to 50% discount at times, then you may want to consider going during Ramadan. For those going on business, dubai hotel apartments are luxurious and whether you want to stay short term or long, they offer stress free arrangement to suit your needs.

And even for those looking for fully furnished dubai apartments, you can find right here a huge variety that you can choose from and even serviced apartments for the individuals.

Relaxing Chloe

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

This trip up to the city, we stayed in a hotel ..and truth be told.. we were quite amused that the brat loved the hotel so much.. she wanted to stay some more. She had so much fun.. in the hotel.. she slept good.. the 2 nites we were there. This is a suite room.. and there is another room.. connected to this room… almost the same size .. with a queen bed too. Chloe slept on her pooh couch.. and i slept in this room.. and PB slept in the next room. The reason why we took this suite was because we were afraid.. that Chloe wouldn’t sleep.. and since PB is the one who is driving long hours.. he needs to get a good rest. So being in the other room.. with a closed door .. would have worked good.. if the brat fussed up. But what do you know.. she didn’t fuss at all.. muahahahhaha!!

For the Spanish Speaking Traveler

Everyone loves traveling .. and in this age and time, we all know that we mostly go online to do all our research and reservations on the net. Not only to check availability but also to check and compare rates.

I think it was a really smart move of hotel.com to introduce Hoteles, dedicated to serve Spanish speaking customers. Not only is the site a comprehensive one, it definitely makes it more accessible for the Spanish traveler, plus a Spanish Service Center hotline dedicated to these elite customer/s, it is a sure win formula. So if you have Spanish speaking friends or customer, don’t forget to recommend this site to them, no more stressing you up to help them to make hotel reservations online.

My Zen Experience

My hotel trainer from many years ago had taught me.. to always focus on the good points first.. when dealing with employees, and then the bad. And for the longest time.. i’ve tried to be diplomatic about it.. even when dealing with the folks here. As you can see, I donch have much luck practicing with the folks here.. because the culture here is different. I digress.

So yes.. the good stuff about Zen is .. the staffs were excellent. They were attentive and very friendly. They were all chinese. We had 1 bowl of congee, 1 glutinous rice, 1 har kow, 1 siew mai and 1 char siew pau .. and 1 egg tarts (takeaway), it cost us $27 + 14% tax and another $5 for tips. So it was like RM$99.00 for my dim sum trip, do you think it was worth it..??

Vacationing In Vancouver

Vancouver is one of the nicest place in Canada. Of course the main reason is because they have one of the best Chinatown in Canada and the largest Asian population in Canada. If you ever take a vacation in Vancouver, you might mistaken that you are actually in Asia. Lots of people choose to migrate to Vancouver because it is ranked the most liveable city in the world, out of 132 cities being reviewed.

Dining in Vancouver is awesome.. ! you’ll never go hungry in this vibrant city. Having said all these, of course if you are taking a vacation in Vancouver, you’ll have to look for accommodations and Hotel Vancouver is probably the best hotel you can choose from. Not only are they reputable but they are definitely not the motels that you get in Canada. My recent experience with them at the reservations department was one of the best, I’ve had since coming to Canada. Not only were they professional, they were very accommodating too, it is almost like experiencing the asian hospitality .. that one never gets in the Western part of the world.

Having stayed with the Delta group in Toronto, Halifax, Prince Edward Island and Vancouver, I’ll have to say that they certainly fared better than alot of other hotels in Canada. With the many amenities they have to offer their guest/s such as free wireless high speed internet connections, 24hrs room service, club floors to choose from and fitness center, it is definitely my choice for accommodation when in Vancouver. Delta Hotels & Resort is a very reputable chain in Canada, so you can expect excellent service and a very comfortable stay, whether you are on business or on vacation.

Shrimp Dumpling In Zen

Next came shrimp dumpling not really “har kow” but kinda the same.. coz’ they ran outta “har kow”. I had one of them.. and of course the shrimp wasn’t fresh. So as much as I would have loved eating it all up .. i just couldn’t stomached it.. and had to have them do doggy bags for me. Sad eh..?? I guess.. if i weren’t comparing all these to Asia.. I won’t be this disappointed..??

Dim Sum For Late Lunch

We finally made it to Zen Restaurant in Lacewood Drive .. and it was the one that we had been to.. before having chloe. We ordered a few things.. but not alot to choose from the menu. The first dish that came out was Pork & Century eggs congee. Truth be told.. it was as plain as it can get. The congee wasn’t all the smooth either. But the brat and PB didn’t wanna eat it… so i ended up having the whole bowl. They had soya sauce.. but only the dark kind.. so i can’t even make it tastier. Sad eh..??
