I have taken Firefly flights many times especially when traveling to East Malaysia and I have great experiences so far; regardless of when it was a media trip or otherwise.…
Internet connectivity is shaky at best here in the hotel. Here’s a pictorial post to just share about my adventure on the first day 🙂
Flight – Air Asia X, Kathmandu is one of AAX’s newest destinations (started 2 months ago).
I’m in the market for a new ultrabook.
Frankly, I’m huge fan of ultrabooks as they are usually light (or rather the first generations ones were) and they are designed for mobility which suits me very well.
For Toshiba, I was mightily impressed with the Toshiba Portege Z830 which is the world’s lightest ultrabook back then. Weight aside, it’s durability was remarkable, withstanding weight, pressure and knocks easily.
When Toshiba sent me their latest ultrabook to review, I got a shock.

So I’m now at Day 4 of my Japan trip and I have updated on the side some posts about eating poisonous puffer fish, McD’s McGriddles breakfast, Kobe beef in Kobe Osaka and the best sushi I had in Sushi Dai, Tokyo. I’m slowly but surely finishing up my Japan Travelogue! 🙂
Today, I’m taking a step back and I’m going to share with you how I got to Japan; how I got my flight tickets and how the whole Japan adventure began!
Well I flew Air Asia of course. For those of you who saw my FB or Twitter – yes, I utilized the very same tickets Tan Sri Dr. Tony Fernandez kindly gave me. :DD
In general I love all Chilean wines.
I find them easy to drink and pricing-wise; decently affordable.
At a recent wine tasting dinner I was introduced to Koyle, a Chilean wine that is currently exported to 40 countries, affordable yet grown for quality rather than quantity.

Mark your calendars people! On next Monday, 19th November 2012 from 7 am – 10 am it’s McDonald’s Breakfast Day!
Each Mcdonalds outlet (there are 215 outlets in total) in Malaysia will be giving away 1000 free Egg McMuffin! 1000 per outlet! So there’s a higher chance for everybody to grab themselves a free breakfast next Monday!
Monday blues no more guys! 🙂
Continued from Part 1 : Day 3 – Odaiba!
The Ramen City is in Aqua City so that was my first stop. Stepping in, I realized it was just another shopping mall but I obligatory took some shots to show you guys.
Shops. Cinema. More shops.

Everybody tells me to go to Odaiba.
Everyone who goes to Tokyo, Japan goes to Odaiba.
Being a first timer to Japan, I obediently took the effort and spent and 3 hours commuting to Odaiba. In short of a summary, I thought it was a waste of time. But that’s me. Anyhow, you’re going to see and hear all about my trip here!
So the day started settling out from my hostel. I was still staying in Asakusa area and following my map and guidebook, I was supposed to head to Shimbashi station (Ginza Line) to change to Yurikamome line and stop at Daiba station. All for 500 yen – RM20.
BELOW: A quick breakfast from the bakery at Ueno Station; bought the night before. Post HERE.
So I followed my hostel’s very useful guide of the subways and popular destinations in Tokyo. Frankly, staying in hostel rocks. They provide all sorts of useful information for the backpackers. 🙂
2 buns and a carton of wonderful Japanese cocoa milk later, I headed out; walking quickly to the nearest station which happily enough is the very Ginza Line that I was supposed to be on. If you have been hearing how well connected Tokyo is via trains/subways, you have heard right.
