At last, a chance to visit Kuala Gandah and this was unplanned stop enroute to Kuala Terengganu...and maybe will visit again in future to enjoy the time with the elephants at the rehabilitation centre for wild elephants...not because they involved with drugs or whatsoever but because of human invaded their forest and destroyed the habitat...hehehehee...

...some of the nice baskets made by the villagers...

...wooden beads bracelets which have been used in high fashion shows in Milan, New York, Paris and London...

...priceless...

...and an old lady just have a good time in hot evening...

...and two pretty young ladies with their natural beauty...

Mobile blogging: Turkish Delights

Just got back to my hotel after a great day walked around the Grand Bazaar, quite a big maze but really interesting with bustling activities. Another great thing I did was watching the Sufi Dance and immersed myself with the 'songs'. Later, a great Turkish tea ended the night! Tomorrow, a cruise along Straits of Bosphorus ...

Mr.Ted and his adventures...

Mr.Ted took a short winter break visiting a few cities across Europe continent started with Edinburgh, Scotland...

...just arrived at the Edinburgh Airport...

...Mr.Ted waited for the flight to Amsterdam...

...arrived at the Schipol Airport and met with Azizi, the Mayor of Red Light District and then took a train ride to Amsterdam Central...

...after a short walked around Amsterdam with Azizi, went to the hotel and had a good night sleep with the dream of Red Light District scenes...hehehehe...

 

...continued to discover Amsterdam and later of the day met Azizi and went to Den Haag for a great Malaysian dinner...nasi dagang, mee siam, traditional malay kueh, and etc....later had coffee with Azizi at McDonald...

...something to ponder...really funny to read this notice!

...yeehaaa...Mr.Ted and Azizi, the headman of Amsterdam and 

the Mayor of Red Light District...hehehheee...Azizi was very hospitable and great and funny man...great to meet ya...

...yeah, next Mr.Ted went to Athens, flew from Milano...oooppsss...no pic in Milano because of technical problem...hehehehehe...on board of the train to Athens city centre...

...some of the remnants of old Athens...on the way to Acropolis...

...Acropolis as the background...

...a view from Acropolis...

...at the Athens International Airport, waited for my flight to Berlin...

...arrived in Berlin almost midnight and went straight to the hotel...aaarrggghhh...so tired and zonked straight away...well, after a hot shower first...need a good rest before checking out the Berlin Wall tomorrow morning...oyasuminasai...

...next destination was Copenhagen...arrived at Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup...unfortunately my flight was delayed thrice and arrived at Copenhagen after midnight. The strike by the ground staff in Budapest has caused the delay...took a taxi to the city centre...pphheewwww...what a tiring day...

...the next morning Mr.Ted went to Malmo, Sweden to see Turning Torso and the Oresund Bridge...the Turning Torso is a unique skyscraper and the tallest building in Malmo/Sweden and it was the tallest building in Scandinavia, the tallest residential building in the EU and the second tallest residential building in Europe, after the 264-metre (870 ft)-high Triumph-Palace in Moscow. The Oresund Bridge is half bridge on the Sweden side and undersea tunnel on the Denmark water...

...the next day Mr.Ted spent the time to discover Copenhagen and the main attraction was the Mermaid at the harbour...it took around 45 minutes to walk from city centre to the harbour and Mr.Ted was very happy to meet Miss Mermaid sitting patiently on the big stone waiting for him...oooppppsss...sorry did not censor the breast part...hehehehe...

...yipppeeee...

across seven seas...

Lonely Planet - Glasgow, Scotland: LUNCH trip

Went to Glasgow last Saturday with Angeline to see Kak Pinaz who used to live in Brighton before moving to Glasgow. Well, a long overdue trip to see her and at last we managed to squeeze our time to pay her a visit (ampun kak! i know she is reading my blog...hehehehe). 

...sweet Kak Pinaz and Angeline...sorry my pic is still banned to be published here...

...after we finished our city sightseeing, straight to Kak Pinaz's place and she asked us what to have for lunch...i just 'play-play' to say Nasi Dagang or Traveller's Rice...hehehehehe...

...so unbelievable that she did cook Nasi Dagang...

...with motherly love, she cooked Nasi Dagang with sweet smile even though she was not really feeling well in the morning...

 

...taaadddaaaa...the Traveller's Rice...yummmyyyy...and she did 'tapau' for us but because of something happened in heaven, we forgot to take it back home...sob, sob, sob...

...so to compensate the loss, i cooked the Traveller's Rice this morning and for the fish dish, i used the tuna instead of mackerel...hehehehe...

...taddaaaaaa...my version of nasi dagang...althought it was not so delicious as Kak Pinaz's, my nasi dagang still heavenly tasted (of course la...)

...hehehehehe...yeeehaa....the tuna curry, cucumber achar, coconut sambol and the rice...what a fragrant rice full of fenugreek flavour...

The main cathedral in the castle...St. Vitus Cathedral...
