I am looking forward to my very first visit to Bangkok Motor Show 2010 @ Bitec. Even though I've been to Bangkok so many time....I've yet to visit any edition of the motor show. Eventually I have the chance this year and one of my friend in Bangkok has already promised to pass me the VIP pass to the motor show. Thanks bro...Simon...really appreciated it so much. I am sure I'll snap thousands of photos again! Here I come... city of angels ( 1-3 April 2010)

What do I learn throughout my TransIndochina trip??

It's been more than a week since I've came back from my maiden backpacking trip to Indochina. It's been a roller coasting journey with thousands of kilometers covered by bus or plane and not to forget lots of walking in between! What do I learned from this trip? 5 words: satisfy, grateful, happy, appreciate & thankful.The next time before I'll complain about anything, I'll think like.......this is life.....nothing is perfect!!! I hope I'll get all the info ready by this weekend...and full report on our Trans-Indochina 2010 will be ready by next week......all the way from day 1 till day 12......non censored......real experience & not to forget dozens of photos for viewing! 


In my mind now.......Trans Siberia 2011.....will it ever become a reality???
