Movie review: All’s Well Ends Well 2012 (2012)

Posted in Others... with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 26, 2012 by vincentloy

All’s Well Ends Well 2012 is the first Chinese New Year film I have watched few days ago before. It is a typical Hong Kong film released to celebrate Chinese New Year every year with much laughter and fun delivered. The casts are very popular; the revealing one, Louis Koo, the out-fashioned one, Donnie Yen, the funny one, Sandra Ng, the ugly one, Chapman To, the pretty one, Kelly Chen, and some others. You would understand all the adjectives I gave describing every main casts listed above once you have watched the film.

The film centered on four stories, involving 8 characters in 4 pairs, in which the females need help, and the males came for assistance with the end of a hug; either of fatherly hug, friend’s hug or lover’s hug. Four different stories unfold, which gave us much wider agendas to enjoy, while not letting us bored by focusing into only a single story for a whole movie. However, the best part of it would be the one involving Donnie Yen and Sandra Ng. Both did very well in the film, while Sandra Ng never disappoints us from her funny acts in films. Their story is the most interesting one, that covers friendship, music, and the most important; the most in humour. Their part is the most entertaining, while others are not bad too.

For Louis Koo and Kelly Chen part, there are some really funny moments from both of them, but I can’t really see the spark or chemistry from this pair from the film. Both are superstars; one in singing, and one in acting, and so they are in the film just because of their fame in the entertainment industry. For Chapman To and a girl (I forgot the name) who is blind in the film, it is fun looking at how Chapman always bluffing on her from his appearance to the places he brought her to. For the old man (I forgot his name but he always appear in this franchise of All’s Well Ends Well), I find it a bit unnecessary to even add another story just for him, with some minor casts for that portion of the film.

Overall, it is still an entertaining movie, but not really the one that will make you laugh hard. It is still fun watching this, but I actually expect more hilarious elements which are seriously lacking from this film. Only Sandra Ng saved the movie most of the time. This franchise had been performing not very well lately on this few years. Hope it can improve for a better and much funnier movie next year. The NG scenes from the final part of this film is much more funnier to watch. But now, for this one, it is still a very nice Chinese New Year-themed movie to watch, and out of 10 points, I rate ‘All’s Well Ends Well 2012′ a total of 6.9.

Movie review: The Viral Factor (2012)

Posted in Others... with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 24, 2012 by vincentloy

‘The Viral Factor’ (逆戰) is the first 2012 released films that I have watched. It is so coincident that for this year and last year, the first film I watched for that respective year would have Jay Chou starring in it. I remember last year’s first film I watched is The Green Hornet, an English film, while ‘The Viral Factor’ for this year is a Chinese film.

I am very sure that most of us especially the Malaysians would go for ‘The Viral Factor’ because of the Asian superstar Jay Chou’s presence in the film, and also that the film is shoot mainly in Kuala Lumpur, my home city. I go for the similar reasons. The story revolves on two main characters, a cop (Jay Chou) and a criminal (Nicholas Tse) finding themselves as brothers and gets attached together once they are both involved into a crime of mutated virus production for wealth by the baddies.

The story looks quite interesting, but the main idea of the virus production is not carried well throughout the film. It is now appears only to be a supporting idea to the whole story, not the main one as suggested from the title of the film itself. The main portion of the film is dedicated mostly to those gun-firing, explosions, punching and fighting scenes, which makes the film one of the best contemporary action-thriller film from Hong Kong. However, I find those elements are too much, way too excessive, which just gives not much excitement to us anymore after for a while.

It seems that the director, Dante Lam loved those gun-firing and explosions acts a lot, until to the point that I find it is really too much and unnecessary, that finally dragged the movie to a total length of over 2 hours! This film would be best if it tooks around 1 hour and 30 minutes or a bit more only. Luckily, the story still goes in a fast-paced development and it’s good. The performance by the main casts are generally well and acceptable, and special credit to Nicholas Tse that performed very good in the film. I like his stunts and acts from the film, which is so interesting and exciting to watch. For Jay Chou, he is obviously improving but still not really good enough. (sorry for Jay Chou’s fans…I’m just saying the truth)

Yeah, it’s nice seeing the movie that most of it took place at famous places in Kuala Lumpur that me and many others can recognize; Putrajaya, Port Klang, Pavilion KL, Golden Triangle, KLCC skyline, KLIA, KL Sentral, KTM Headquarters Building, and an old abandoned building in Pudu. It is a bit over that in one particular scene, they keep on showing the exterior of the flight showing Air Asia and Malaysia flag where Jay Chou is in the plane flying to Kuala Lumpur. However, do you actually need to show us the visual of Petronas Twin Towers so many times just to let us know that the story took place in the city?! That is too much as well. There is actually no need for that; the audiences already know the place (even non-Malaysians knew that already after the name of the city is written earlier in the film).

Luckily, the movie is not just about action-packed scenes. For that aspects, it is no doubt that ‘The Viral Factor’ is one of the best. There are some other aspects added, those that touched on emotional values; like the family relationship which started and ended the film very well. The two brothers (Jay Chou and Nicholas Tse), whom are the highlight of the film had their own moments and stunts, which are distributed quite evenly too. The family story further strengthened the actions by the two brothers. It is just that the virus aspect of the film needs more depth by further elaborating on the potential of the newly-produced virus and its consequences. That can be quite an interesting approach, but the director definitely put it aside and just brings his guns and bombs out for massive explosive moments only. And the sound effect is edited to be very much exaggerated in many parts, especially from those explosive and fighting scenes, until to the point that I find it irritating to my ears in some moments.

So, overall, the film is brilliant in contemporary action-thriller aspect, but too heavy emphasis on that would neglect some other aspects, especially the virus element that brought up the title of the film. So, it’s good in one side, but not really that well on the other side. There are many languages spoken in the film too (Cantonese, Mandarin, Malay, English), since the casts are not all from a single country, promoting international participation to the film with support from Malaysian authority. But overall, this movie is definitely worth-watching, exciting with ample of explosive scenes with a beautiful backdrop of KL streets and skylines. Out of 10 points, I rate ‘The Viral Factor’ a total of 7.5. Another long movie review from me.

Happy Chinese New Year! It’s year of dragon!

Posted in Others... with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 23, 2012 by vincentloy

Welcome, Year of Dragon!

(This post is written days earlier and scheduled to be posted on the first day of Chinese New Year as I am not around by the right time when this should be posted)

But still, I would offer a greeting to all the Chinese in the world no matter where you are or where I am (now at India), a prosperous and a wonderful new year with best of health and luck! Happy Chinese New Year to everyone especially to my family, my relatives, and my friends! And also to strangers out there (is that you?) who have stumbled upon my blog accidentally or by purpose. My greeting is for all! For non-Chinese,  enjoy your day too!

Gong Xi Fa Cai! 

That’s the most popular phrase used for Chinese New Year! This year, 2012, for Chinese now, we welcomed new year of dragon! Three years later would be year of goat, which is my year, and that’s the year I would be turning 24. But right now for this year, I am already 20 (21 in Chinese!) Let’s put aside the matter of age first, and focus on how we spend these few days of holiday and Chinese New Year festival.

Let us enjoy this Chinese New Year with great happiness; warmth from the family and fun from the friends! I’m having my Chinese New Year over at India, enjoying not the festival, but the trip itself. These few days of Chinese New Year for ordinary schedules from most of you guys couldn’t escape from visiting relatives, giving or receiving angpows (red packets), playing firecrackers, gambling, go for outing, etc. But for me, it turned out extraordinary every year when I would be going for oversea family trip at this period of time, which is the only longest holiday my dad could have from his busy work.

To add up the excitement, this post is actually my 818th post. If you translate that number into Chinese slang, 818 (发一发) would sounds very prosperous, a very lucky number combination, that wishes everyone a great fortune, and I add one more; great in health too. Hope this year of dragon would be a smooth and successful year for not only the Chinese, but for all too! For the Chinese, let’s enjoy this new year, celebrate it to the fullest, and have fun!

In the end, I sincerely wish everyone again a Happy Chinese New Year! Last but not least, I put again the image of my blog’s header below as it provides a very good feeling for this Chinese New Year! The larger version is above and would stays there until the end of the month. Ahha…I would be back to blog after this week, particularly sharing the experience I had over my India trip. Coming soon…

CNY Eve! The day I’m flying off to India.

Posted in Others... with tags , , , , , , , on January 22, 2012 by vincentloy

It’s 12am now, which means now is the day of Chinese New Year’s Eve. There is no 30th day in the 12th lunar month for this end of year, and so today is 29th day of the last lunar month of the year of rabbit. Tomorrow would be the first day of year of dragon, and that would officially marks the beginning of Chinese New Year festival that going to last in 15 days.

As the last day of the lunar year, today is the day for having family reunion dinner. Since I would be already leaving to India this afternoon, my family couldn’t have that important dinner tonight. However, we already had that, even two days earlier, on last Friday’s night at Tai Thong Imperial Palace Restaurant over at Cheras Plaza in my area. The food served there is not really nice, and the services are not very good since there are many full tables at the time, and the worst thing is we have to wait over 30 minutes just to get the payment done. Total chaos. It’s even so difficult to get parking over there.

Anyway, it’s been quite a quiet reunion dinner we had surrounded by noise from other tables cheering for ‘yum seng’ and all those stuff. The dinner costs over RM1000 and my uncle paid for it. The dinner is not held last night because my eldest sister have already went back to her husband’s hometown at Raub, and she certainly felt bored for that, staying in the deserted place for a whole week of this Chinese New Year. It’s nice and fun playing and even just watching her two baby sons….just as usual; so cute and adorable! Uhh..I already got early angpows from my dad, my grandma, and my uncle. This three are the most precious one…haha

Yesterday, is the day for last minute buying of Chinese New Year’s stuff; praying stuff, mandarin oranges, and new year biscuits. I had quite a nice time going along those shops and through the morning market (it’s already afternoon and it’s so hot!), feeling the happening atmosphere as the Chinese are filling the streets for many stuffs to do and buy. My dad felt like buying fireworks that costs RM80, the one that shoots to the sky, but after several thought, my father still insist on his principle towards the fireworks; burning own money for less than a minute enjoyment. Haha….so, no fireworks to play….

Today is Chinese New Year’s Eve and I have already packed my stuff and ready for my oversea trip to India with family once a year. What’s your plan for this new year’s eve? I think it is much better to have this day with your family; maybe doing some last cleaning to the house, helping mom for the reunion dinner, watching television together, go for outing together, or even had a little fun moment of gambling a bit together. That must be a really warm and fun day to have for everyone. Just stay out of the roads if you can, because it would be serious traffic jams on these few days before Chinese New Year. Have a safe journey if you are going back to hometown too.

Have fun and get started to feel good for this long holiday and celebration of Chinese New Year! There are also a number of new films released in conjunction with Chinese New Year. If you don’t plan to go to cinema, you may just stay indoor and watch TV; there must be a lot of programmes offered. No matter where you are, or where you want to be, who you want to be with, or what you want to have, I sincerely wish everyone an early greeting of Happy Chinese New Year! Okay, I would be going off for the trip hours later..wish everything would be fine and fun for my trip with safe flights. Happy Chinese New Year’s Eve! It’s the beginning of the week long celebration!

Places I’m going to visit at India next week

Posted in Wonders and Places with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 18, 2012 by vincentloy

It’s always good to have a bit of knowledge or information regarding the places that I am going to visit throughout my India trip next week so that as soon as I reach there, I know a bit more about those places like their history or significance to the nation. I will always do a bit of research before every of my oversea trip so that  I would be ‘carried in’ further once I really stepped into those places.

It is not awesome for a trip to just enter and visit a place without you knowing the story behind the place. Yeah, the tour guide would explained briefly on the history of those tourist attractions, but not in detail which I love to explore more. Hence, internet is a very good option now for me to do a bit more research on the places I am going to visit next week in three different cities in India; Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. I would be following a big tour group for this trip, which is under Golden Travel Tourworld (GTT) company.

Delhi is the capital of the nation, and in the city itself, I would have sightseeing over India Gate or known as War Memorial (a prominent arch-like landmark commemorating the 90,000 soldiers of the Indian Army who lost their lives while fighting for their empire), Red Fort (palace served as the residence of Mughal emperors), President House, Parliament House, Government Administration Building and a visit to Laxminarayan Temple and Raj Ghat, a memorial to Mahatma Gandhi. Do you know who he is? If you have learnt history before, you must have known him. He is a very famous political figure in Indian independence movement back many decades ago. Back to New Delhi, the city is described as one of the ultimate cities of a lifetime to visit and explore based on National Geographic’s Traveler Magazine. So, I would fullfill that very soon…Since the city is a huge urban area, there are many structures from historical to modern to look at, especially the government buildings concentrated in the city alone. Ahha…I’m going to have opportunity to visit the famous Lotus Temple in the city too.

Next city to visit based on the itinerary is Agra. Agra is famous for? Can anyone answer? Of course, Agra is famous for Taj Mahal! One of the seven wonders of the world, and also being widely recognized as ‘the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world’s heritage’. Agra is a historical city, and there are three UNESCO listed heritage sites in the city; Agra Fort (a walled city with many historical structures inside), Fatehpur Sikri (first planned city of Mughals but is now a dead city) and of course the wonderful Taj Mahal (a huge white marble mausoleum built in memorial to Mughal emperor Shah Jahan’s wife, Mumtaz Mahal). And good news is I would be going to all that three places! Time to explore the priceless heritage structures of India, all in one city; Agra…and that would be a priceless experience for me.

The last city to visit is Jaipur, famously known as the pink city. It is a major business centre of the nation, and is famous for the urban planning of the city. It is remarkable among pre-modern Indian cities for the width and regularity of its streets which are laid out into six sectors separated by broad streets 111 ft (34 m) wide and the urban quarters are further divided by networks of gridded street. The places I am going to visit in the city is Amber Fort, Jag Mandir (a lake garden palace), Jai Mahal (a palace hotel), City Palace, Jantarmantar (architectural astronomical observatory),  and sightseeing of Hawa Mahal (a palace with a unique five-storey exterior akin to the honeycomb of the beehive with its 953 small windows called jharokhas that are decorated with intricate latticework). There would be an elephant ride to the fort up on a hill. Cool…

So, basically the trip is going to grant me opportunities to visit a lot of forts, a lot of palaces, a lot of temples! This trip is gonna be a trip to heritage places in India, and I’m quite interested as I do like to explore heritage structures, looking at the architecture and how culture influences it. Looking forward for the trip that is going to begin this Sunday, on the day of Chinese New Year Eve itself.

Movie review: In Time (2011)

Posted in Others... with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 18, 2012 by vincentloy

‘In Time’ is a 2011 science-fiction thriller film sets in a future when people stop aging at 25, but are engineered to live only one more year, having the means to buy your way out of the situation is a shot at immortal youth. Here, Will Salas (Justin Timberlake) finds himself accused of murder and on the run with a hostage, his lover in the end (Amanda Seyfried) – a connection that becomes an important part of the way against the system.

The plot appears to be very interesting, and the concept behind it is very new and fresh. It’s also interesting to see that each one’s time is engraved over their hand and the mode of transferring them. It now depends on how the movie goes by the plot, and it doesn’t really succeed very well. The idea of having time as the currency as the framework of the story is very creative, and it is being manipulated and delivered well throughout the film. However, the story flow gets not much deeper after the beginning, and the second half of the story just went on to the chasing scenes to capture Will Salas. This type of film could be really great, could be something like ‘Inception’, but turned out to be not really awesome due to the plot. Great concept but with dull storyline. A bit disappointed.

The first half of the movie exposes the audiences to view the consequences of having time as currency, the consequences of having a lot of time in poor zone that would result in being robbed and killed, the consequences of separating zones with time which is now the determination of wealth, the consequences of getting very rich and able to live for over a century or even for thousand years which at last appears to be isn’t very good and the consequences of letting the rich getting richer while the poor suffering from this system. All that is presented well from the film and I enjoyed that. After that, it’s all about chasing the suspect, Will Salas which at last did something very significant to replace the system by robbing banks to redistribute time for a much balanced world.

Ahaa…and I praised the effort of finding all the casts which have to be around 20s or 30s to look like a 25 years old people or children in the film. I did look thoroughly throughout the film especially over those supporting casts also and there is no flaw to that aspect. From the story, I only find it a bit unbelievable that Will Salas, the main character can handle so much thing and also winning and surviving in the end, despite almost losing his own life every time. Those parts of having few second of life left to the people in the film are very exciting, and we are very interested to know their fate at the time. And so, for that, Will Salas survived every time.

This is the first time I’m seeing Justin Timberlake taking a very important role, cast as the main character, and he nailed that character. He performed very well, together with the other main casts who are good on their roles too. The whole film basically comprises of many elements; action, science, humour, love, system and all are well distributed throughout the whole story. So as I have said, the only thing goes not well is the storyline itself which is expected to be catchy with some serious stunning climax. If that is accomplished from this film, I bet this would certainly goes to Oscars. But now, not! Too bad. Anyway, it’s still a very good movie of a fresh new concept to watch at. Out of 10 points, I rate ‘In Time’ a total of 7.5.

Oppss….I need to buy my time to replace the one I spent writing this post which is about 30 minutes…haha – (You would understand me if you have watched the film.) Wow…This is a long movie review…I seldom write a movie review this long…which shows that I have a lot of opinions for this film…Oh my god, it’s almost the end of January 2012, and I haven’t even starting to watch this year’s released films.

Movie review: Hostel – Part 3 (2011)

Posted in Others... with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 17, 2012 by vincentloy

Have you heard of the franchise entitled ‘Hostel’ before? This franchise together with the ‘Saw’ franchise had the similar theme of human killing by gruesome ways, but the latter is much more famous. Anyway, I did not left out ‘Hostel’ franchise too and I find that it is quite interesting and exciting to watch, especially this latest third instalment which is released directly to DVD. It freaked me out over those murder scenes that show everything it has to show (especially the part where the skin is peeling off over the face…omg!)

The story similar to the first two movies of the franchise follows a group of yougsters get kidnapped and killed in gruesome ways while being witnessed by Elite Hunting Club members who paid for all that. The franchise usually used the idea of sexy girls to attract the boys, and put them into the death situation, but it is somehow a bit different in this third instalment. The plot is twisted, with surprising agendas added, which makes this film much more outstanding than the first two. The ending gives me a shock. (No spoiler here, you have to watch yourself to find it out)

The plot gets very much exciting and interesting this time, with more scenes of the members enjoying over the killing in a room facing a bar-like area where they are seated. That part is important for the strength of the story. The murders this time in the film are much more gruesome, and I have the disgusting expressions all over my face watching those scenes where many ugly visual is revealed. Now I know why this is not released to cinema and only limited to DVD release. The violence is there, the gory is there, and it’s very exciting to watch for fans of these type of horror films like me. The like is not over the blood spilling or whatsoever; it is on the creative killing and the response from the victims, and the way it is observed and enjoyed by the crazy people opposite watching all that and of course the way it deals with psychology of the audiences (me watching it). Of course, I’m not insane or what, but this type of horror film actually gets more attention and appraisal. It’s not just about killing….

However, this third film performed badly in the ratings compared to the first two, but I thought the other way round. I find this second sequel is far better than the original and the first sequel released back years ago. It is far better in many aspects, even including the performance by the casts which is very well-done in this third instalment. What’s important is the plot, and the story goes very well and clear with some unexpected and shocking moments which are what a great horror film needs. The only bad thing is the very fake CGI effect of the roaches in one killing scene, but for the others, all the visual effects and make-up effects are very good. But one more thing, there are quite a number of boring scenes in the middle between those intense moments. So, after all, my rating to this film wouldn’t be bad also, as I gave it 6.5.

One million hits! Yes, it’s a million views! No joke…Yay!!!

Posted in Shocking News and Fantastic Results with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on January 16, 2012 by vincentloy

Oh, really!!!??? Great! Very great! After so many months of dedication to this blog, after so many hours spent on writing, after so many energy and effort contributed to this site, my blog finally garnered over one million hits! Getting a million views to a blog is not easy and I have accomplished it! Wow….that is really awesome, until to the point that I’m left speechless now, doesn’t know what to write more…

This is seriously incredible! I never thought of such a high number of views to my blog! I still couldn’t believe the figure I see today in my blog home page, down at the right side. Before this, I always keep looking at the number shown, and keep waiting and questioning myself; when will the figure turns to a million? And now, in reality, on this day, the number of views to my blog exceeded that figure and I’m truly glad and happy for it, for such a great achievement that I will never forget, which falls on this lovely day.

Now, I wish that the number would keep increasing, or at least maintained in a steady rate, so that my blog does not only appears to be productive, but also popular to a certain stage that I am already satisfied. I’m already pleased with over a thousand hits daily, which I never expected at the time when I just started my blog in a very humble manner. Now, my blog surpassed one million hits, and it can’t be as humble as in previous time anymore. Now, I’m hoping my blog would grow and progress well under my care, and I’m ready to look forward at more accomplishments set to be achieved and records set to be broken from my blog!

But right now, I am truly happy and enjoying how well my blog is going, with the clearest proof of the total number of hits to my blog  to this day! Now, I can say to others that my blog had over 0ne million views, which I’m certainly proud of it. (Ahheemmm…not to say that I’m showing off, but that was a fact not to be denied, right?) After 40 months of running, the blog finally obtained such an impressive result! Really…really cool that my blog got over a million hits! (Okay..sorry for repeating too many times…I couldn’t control that). Anyway, more to come (I mean, more accomplishments for my blog to come). One million hits/views! My blog and I can finally feel this level of excitement! Hooray!

Movie review: Green Lantern (2011)

Posted in Others... with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on January 16, 2012 by vincentloy

A superhero movie last year that I skipped. After watching it just now, ‘Green Lantern’ is indeed quite a good superhero film. The movie is about a test pilot, named Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) granted a ring that bestows him the power of Green Lantern, a corp responsible to keep peace in the universe and to defeat Parallax, main villain with a strong evil of fear. Why is it green colour chosen? Because green represents the colour of will, and that is the energy that keeps Green Lantern running. It is the will that gives superpowers to Green Lantern. Okay. I buy that…

The story develops quite well, with a fast-paced progress that keeps the film interesting at every moment. There are only little amount of time allocated for the love relationship between the Hal Jordan and his lover, Carol Ferris (Blake Lively) in the film, which is just fine. There are many storytelling explaining the background of the Green Lantern, and all are described well to provide understandable depth of the story to the audiences. Overall, the plot is okay, eventhough superhero movies like this one still couldn’t escape from those agendas; saving the loved one, almost died in the end but survived, etc.

I like the way some humours are added to the dialogues to make the film much entertaining to watch. A movie without hilarious moments would be seen as too serious, and couldn’t cater to general audiences. This movie is an exception, eventhough there are still not many funny moments from it; of course not, the focus is still on saving the world! Serious task! The performance by the main casts, are considerably good and the visual effects are great too.

I just find that the movie is a bit too long. It would be perfect and totally exciting if the movie is shortened to only around 1 hour 30 minutes, rather than having around 15 more minutes more wasted on unnecessary scenes. Don’t know why I got a feeling that Ryan Reynolds is not really suitable casted for the role of Green Lantern. I find it a bit weird. Anyway, overall, it’s a nice and worth-watching superhero film, and out of 10 points, I rate ‘Green Lantern’ a total of 7.3.

One more week to India trip…starting to get excited already!

Posted in All about myself..mainly daily activities on January 15, 2012 by vincentloy

This upcoming India trip is going to be my 11th oversea trip, if my calculation is not wrong. In the past six years, I have had three separate trips to Thailand (one at Songkhla, one at Haatyai, and one more at Chiang Mai), two separate trips to China (one at Beijing, Tianjin, and Chengde, and another one at Hong Kong and Shenzhen), one trip to Taiwan (covering Taipei, Taichung and Kaohsiung), one to Italy (covering also Switzerland for a short trip and a flight stop at Dubai), one trip to South Korea (covering Seoul and Jeju Island) one trip to Cambodia (Siem Reap and Phnom Penh), one short trip to Singapore, and if you sum up everything, this upcoming India trip is correctly going to be my 11th oversea trip.

Going to India is quite economical, compared to the price of going over to Europe, or even to China where the prices are increasing. This India trip would be quite suitable for me, giving me opportunity to take a look at the historical as well as modern structures erected in India, exploring architecture and discovering culture of the people living there. If I am given a chance, I would take a risk to walk down along those narrow streets, despite being crowded and unhygienic, but that would give me a very good experience and learning into the ways of living in India where many are still very poor.

But of course the highlight of the trip would still be all those historical structures, ranging from fort to temple, and the most iconic place in India for visit is definitely the Taj Mahal, one of the seven wonders of the world. I would be going there in one of the days of my trip, and that would be the third place in the list of the seven wonders I have visited. Cool…can’t wait for the day to come, and also can’t wait for the trip to start also! It is winter season currently in India, and it would be quite cold. Anyway, it would be not as cold as winter in South Korea or China because the geography or location if India is much lower nearing the tropical line.

It would be a very special trip to us since we have not been to that part of the world before. There are no shopping malls to visit in our itinerary, no modern buildings to look at, no natural beauty to observe, but a lot of curry for us to have as meal, a lot of Indian smell for us to breath in, and a lot of people to squeeze through. So, it must be a whole new level of experience gained from this upcoming trip which I would have with my family, and even my relatives. Don’t know whether we can really cope with the environment there, but we will try to adapt. Anyway, it’s not a long trip, taking only 7 days. This India trip is gonna let us see another side of the world.
