Orchard Road Singapore Christmas Light Up 2014

Its the time of the year once again when  the whole stretch of Orchard Road,  the shopping district in Singapore comes at its brightest. Last Saturday 15 November the lighting ceremony was held at Shaw House open area. As in the past years, no less than the President of Singapore graced the event and switched on the christmas decors lightings. 

This year's theme is Christmas on a Great Street. Indeed!  

Overnight in Bagan Myanmar

Part of my travel to Myanmar was the overnight trip to Bagan in the central region of the country. To reach there I took a night bus trip from Yangon. I arrived Bagan in the early morning. The hotel I will be staying was located at the Old Bagan where the thousand pagodas and ancient temples are located.

My Trip to Myanmar

After years on my bucket list, I finally was able to travel to Myanmar this year as my birthday gift to myself. It was a smooth and eye opening experience for me.The reason I keep delaying my travel before because of the visa and the frequency of the flight to Myanmar from Singapore issue. Even when traveling to Myanmar has ease up, still travelers were required to apply a visit visa before one can visit the country and airlines flight schedules were limited to twice a week only. I am holding a Philippines passport, and when we were allowed to travel visa-free then I decided to grab the opportunity soonest as I am curious to see Myanmar at its present situation. I read about Myanmar and become curious and anxious to find out the effect of its isolation from the rest of the world.
