Beach Trip

I just got back from a beach trip w/ my mom, grandma, and best friend. I look like a lobster. My sunburn hurts SO bad! And I got stung by a jellyfish! The lifeguard said I would have a 1 in 50 chance of getting stung, so I guess I'm 1 in 50 lol. It was the first time I've experienced that and it was the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life. My whole leg felt like it was burning for, like, 5 hours! And it was swollen. It even left a scar. But other than the sunburn and jellyfish sting I had a wonderful time. I can't wait to go back next year. Hopefully I won't get stung by a jellyfish or get a lobster tan haha.

A Bus Ride from Golden Mile Tower to Brinchang Hotel

Completed in the year 1974 Golden Mile Tower is basically a commercial property that is solely intended as an office space and also doubles up as a Bus Boarding Point. It is a 24 storey building with its ground floor exclusively dedicated for boarding and arrival of buses. There are quite a few coffee shops located on the ground level for you to sip on some coffee while your bus arrives. Not to forget if you reach too early there is also a moview theatre here with a seating capacity of about 1500. You can catch up on your favourite movies here to kill time. The tower is located in one of the most prime areas of Singapore and is quite easy to reach via an Intercity Bus. In the vicinity of Golden Mile tower there are shopping malls like Bugis Junction, Bugis Cube and the very popular Suntek City Mall. After my journey in Singapore came to an end I was convinced that my next destination was Cameron Highland. The distance between the two bus points was about 448 kms and the duration of the journey was about 9 to 10 hours depending on the traffic condition.

One of the most major bus arrival stands in Cameron Highland is Brinchang Hotel. I figured that this is the best place for a bus to arrive as you can just check out from your bus and check in to your hotel in a matter of minutes. After a tiring Bus journey this place serves as one of the best spots for some refreshments and much needed rest. I booked my bus tickets through redbus.my. Since I booked my tickets almost a week in advance I could get a window seat. The process of booking seats becomes quite easy because of the 3D representation. There were only 2 operators, Konsortium and The One Travel and Tours plying on the route beteen these two bus boarding and arrival points. There were about 6 buses from Konsortium plying throughout the day on this route. Surprisingly, all of the 6 buses had the same departure time that was 10 PM in the night.

There were about 15 to 20 seats in a Bus which was the main reason as to why they had to ply six buses. Each of these seats had ample of leg room and elbow space. The seats were equipped with modern facilities like two bottle holders, charging point and LED entertainment screens. The cost of ticket per head was SGD55. The One Travel and Tours had about two buses plying throughout the entire day one was at 8:30 pm and the other one at 10:30 pm. If I were in your place I would book the 10:30 pm to escape the notorious city traffic. This Bus was a mini Bus and the cost of the ticket per head was SGD42. My experience with Konsortium was quite pleasant. You have to travel in order to experience the same.

Tempat Terbaik untuk Dikunjungi di Denpasar, Indonesia

Tempat wisata terbaik di wilayah Indonesia, bisa dikatakan berada di Denpasar, Bali. Atraksi wisata ini banyak mengandung unsur budaya yang beragam bagi penduduk lokal di sini. Kuil Sakenan terletak di Pulau Serangan dan Kuil Jagatnatha yang berdekatan dengan museum umum kota adalah beberapa di antaranya. Denpasar memiliki beberapa kombinasi terbaik antara bangunan kuno dan bangunan kota. Hal inilah yang membuat Kota Denpasar menjadi salah satu kota yang harus dikunjungi saat Anda sedang berlibur di Pulau Bali.
Denpasar merupakan tempat wisata yang ramai dikunjungi para wisatawan sepanjang tahun. Namun, di pinggiran Denpasar suasananya lebih santai dan tenang, tidak seperti suasana di pusat Kota Denpasar. Hutan bakau di Denpasar selatan dan Desa Budaya Kertalangu di arah timur laut adalah beberapa tujuan wisata yang harus Anda kunjungi. Anda mungkin akan menikmati perjalanan wisata mulai dari pusat kota sampai beberapa tempat bersejarah yang berjarak tidak jauh dari sini.
Saran Perjalanan: Saya sangat menyarankan untuk memesan tiket bus online dari website ini redbus.id dan melakukan perjalanan dengan bus sambil melihat-lihat pemandangan yang indah. Harga tiket bus murah dan memesannya secara online akan menghemat banyak waktu. Pilihlah dari berbagai bus yang tersedia dan manfaatkan waktu liburan Anda sebaik-baiknya!
Berikut adalah 4 atraksi wisata terbaik untuk dikunjungi di Denpasar dan di sekitar kota.
Pulau Hiu: Pulau ini pada dasarnya adalah sebuah ponton besar, yang terletak agak jauh dari pantai timur Pulau Serangan. Pulau ini mengundang Anda untuk berenang bersama dengan para hiu. Hiu di tempat ini diberi makan dengan baik dan cukup tenang, berenang dengan spesies hiu ini cukup aman dan cocok untuk segala umur.
Candi Sakenan: Bisa terlihat bahwa candi ini terdiri dari 2 kompleks candi, masing-masing dibangun dengan batu karang kuno yang digunakan sebagai alternatif batu bata di masa lalu.
Museum Umum: Di dalam museum ini terdapat berbagai koleksi seni serta etnografi, prasasti kuno, keramik, patung porselen, barang rumah tangga, alat pertanian, senjata, alat ritual, lukisan, wayang kulit (boneka bayangan) dan banyak lagi lainnya.

Pusat Kesenian: Pusat Kesenian Denpasar adalah tempat wisata utama dan tempat yang paling disukai karena setiap tahunnya diadakan Festival Seni Bali di sini. Biasanya festival ini diadakan dari bulan Juli sampai bulan Agustus setiap tahun, selama festival berlangsung pusat seni menawarkan pameran selama seminggu dan pertunjukan seni live di berbagai auditorium indoor dan auditorium outdoor. Pusat Kesenian Denpasar adalah bangunan yang telah dibangun berdasarkan arsitektur tradisional Indonesia. Pusat seni juga memiliki teater seni di ruang terbuka yang dapat menampung kurang lebih 6000 penonton, pada saat tertentu tempat ini digunakan untuk pertunjukan kolosal baik modern maupun tradisional. Pusat seni ini dibuka untuk masyarakat umum di tahun 1973 dalam waktu satu bulan. Selama satu bulan ini ada beberapa kegiatan menghibur dan peragaan seni yang diadakan di sini seperti tarian tradisional, kegiatan budaya dan pameran seni. Tempat ini adalah salah satu tujuan paling populer di kalangan penduduk setempat maupun di kalangan para wisatawan. Jika Anda mengunjungi pusat seni pada hari biasa, mungkin hanya akan menjadi tur kecil untuk mengagumi patung-patung luar biasa yang banyak memperlihatkan sejarah Bali. Pengalaman Saya� berkunjung ke tempat ini cukup menakjubkan.

Best 2 shopping hotspots in Malaysia and reach them by bus

Kuala Lumpur and Bukit Bintang is considered to be a one of a kind shopping convention in Malaysia. The malls here house some of the most premier and luxurious brands. Shopping here will surely pinch your pockets but you will definitely be happy with the experience. Featuring brands like Louis Vuitton, Gucci ad Hermes the malls also feature their very own indoor theme park. If you are looking forward to buy some cool gadgets you should head to the Yat Plaza. People also flank these places for its exciting range of dining options catering to local and global cuisines.

The buses that ply in Malaysia are well known throughout the world for their punctuality. There are bus stops right outside the entrances of both these malls so there is no hassle of interchanging buses. I personally recommend you to book your bus tickets from redbus.my as it will spare you the ordeal of carrying cash and change with you all the time. You can pre book your bus tickets, pay for them online and just forget your wallets at home.� Traveling by bus is catching up with the Malaysians in recent times thanks to low cost and reliable services.

Berjaya Times Square
It is the go to place for youngsters. It is located right opposite the Amoda office block and is 48 storeys tall. It is a shopper’s paradise. Since the mall is located in the commercial hubs of Malaysia, it is quite well connected by bus. Buses arrive at the Berjaya Times Square at regular intervals of 15 minutes. There is absolutely no need to hail a taxi as traveling by bus is the most convenient and economical mode of reaching here. The mall is home to more than 1000 retail outlets and 65 different food outlets. Shopping here will definitely leave you spoilt for choices. The mall opened to the people in the year 2003 and has since then seen millions of visitors. With 650 rooms, a pool, gym and a sauna the Berjaya Times Square does not fail to impress on any front! Book your bus tickets now and have a lifetime of an experience at this man made marvel.

Isetan Kuala Lumpur
The mall has some of the highest amount of Japanese made items. It is located in the prime area of Bukit Bintang and can be easily reached by bus. Although it is connected to the Bukit Bintang monorail station, I still recommend you to reach here by bus as the monorail experiences frequent delays. The Isetan mall stands tall at six storeys and has all imported products on display. Baked goods, wines, snacks and alcoholic beverages, the mall has it all! There is also a huge food court here housing the usual fast food chains. There are some restaurants here that will serve you authentic Japanese dishes. I recommend you to visit the super market as there are quite a few unusual things for sale that might be of some use to you!!
