Ramadan = Indonesian New Year?

日前坐小巴聽得旁邊的太太跟另一太太說，她的印傭正過印尼的新年，日出後已不能進食，要待至傍晚。香港人 .... 現時其實是回教的守齋月Ramadan。

Long-distance Bus

The best long-distance bus I'd ever tried

Argentina: The seats are so wide and good service. Some bus companies even served red and white wine for meal. However, the price of bus ticket is sometimes more or less same as domestic flight price (promotional fare).

Mexico: Comfortable

Turkey: Comfortable

Sleeping at the airports

sometimes for saving coz just a few hours for transit; sometimes for security (I dare not to go out at mid-night).

Dakka, Bangladesh: The security of domestic terminal was so nice whom allowed us to stay there till dawn. however, the terminal had many mosquitos.

Caracas, Venezuela: This SUPERB airport got no chair in both departure and arrival halls. i slept on the bench of fast food shop after its closure.

Bangkok, Thailand (new airport): This airport equipped with powerful A/C system. I thought I slept in a freezer!

Doha, Qatar: Most of the chairs had armrests and the lighting was too bright also!

Manila, Philippines: All chairs are made of steel and too cold for sleeping!

Los Angeles, US: Comfortable for sleeping but the cleaning work and big TV caused me hard to sleep.

Kaohsiung, Taiwan: Though airport closes after the last flight at midnight, the security allow passengers to continue to stay inside the terminal. The chairs are hard seat and very uncomfortable for sleeping!

這麼近 那麼遠

一些自旅途上結識的朋友，透過互聯網，數年後仍能保持聯絡，雖然他們可能在地球上遙遠的地方，但仍會透過MSN偶爾閒聊數句，反之一些在香港的朋友，可能數年不見。

旅途上的天使

對一個地方的印象，很視乎遇上怎樣的人，過去十年的旅程，總有一些較人難望的人：

斯里蘭卡：在巴士站頭一位好心的女士，帶我們往巴士站，仲交託她的朋友肯定我們上了正確的車
印度：混亂的火車站冷帽大叔，帶我們往正確的月台
尼泊爾：Pokara Fish Tail Hotel的職員，與我們談天說地及打羽毛球
孟加拉：帶我們坐足全程巴士往Dhaka的少年
約旦：Amman Nansy Hotel兄弟，由Petra驅車往Amman途中已喝了很多啤酒，在酒店與其他客人一起喝了整瓶Vodka，及美味的中東菜。
敍利亞：Damascus酒店的職員，請我們吃的免費午餐。
摩洛哥：Fez好客的德國男士；還有Jamar
泰國：Chiangrai於機上遇上的男士，她媽媽還送我一程順風車
