Travel - トラベル

Traveling has become trendy and a must for majority of people.And the fastest way to travel definitely is by plane.And yet the fare has tremendously adjusted from unaffordable to everyone can fly now a days.
In actual fact, planes are roughly comparable to cars in fuel consumption per passenger mile, at least with respect to carbon dioxide output. It makes for an easy comparison; a 60-hour cross-country car trip burns up about the same amount of fuel per passenger, and has the same "carbon footprint," as a five-hour cross-country flight.
At this era of time,green is commonly recommended to every aspect of life,even travel. When it comes to the environment and your travel, sometimes a mile is a mile.An eco-friendly tour that's all about sustainability, appreciating the planet and taking action to make things better.By all mean the travel should
consider the carbon footage as well. So many expedition have started  traveling by cycling or even on
foot.We are not talking about within the country but thousand miles from one destination to another.
Many travelers are willing to do something about  saving the earth-- but are we willing to stop traveling?

FIFA World Cup 2010

"When I get older, I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back .And then it goes back......"
the encouraging theme song of FIFA world cup 2010 South Africa by K'naan can be heard everywhere,even at my house!
Just one more day to kick off the world focus tournament.So, what;s your plan?I started watching FIFA world cup ever since 1998 which was held at France.My children were very young then and the midnight milking time of them seem to have so much fun while able to watch the high spirit soccer game on TV.
The great way to enjoy this super game actually is doing it with some friends who have the same enthusiasm together.The sharing of one venue can cut the noise and so do the electricity,further more it'll have so much fun cheering together with all your best pal.

Spectacular Hidden Treasure - 壮大な隠し宝

It has been a yaerly routine for our family traveled to Sabah , Kota Kinabalu for a year end short vacation. And we never missed Kundasang which located some 2 hours drive from Kota Kinabalu and only 10 minutes driving from Kinabalu Park. The journey takes on meandering mountain road with spectacular views of the Crocker Range. We ventured to a spectacular attraction at Kundasang during our last visied ---------Kundasang World War II Memorial !

Kundasang World War II Memorial - An impressive and well maneged war memorial erected in memory of the 24,000 Allied soldiers killed during World War II . It is divided into different levels depicting gardens of the different countries - England, Australia and Borneo.There are four beautiful gardens - the Australian Garden, the English Garden, the Borneo
Garden and the Contemplation Garden and Pool - to represent the different nationalities.With its towering pine trees and blooming roses, a walk in the gardens is reminiscent to that of a stroll in a quaint English garden. The scent of roses lingers in the air and the serene atmosphere makes the Kundasang War Memorial an ideal place to contemplate and remember the heroes of the war.Spectacular view of Mount Kinabalu and the surrounding farmlands of Kundasang can be seen from viewing gallery of the memorial.

This  must-visit in Kundasang -- the Kundasang War Memorial is stablished in 1962.This was one of the first memorials to commemorate the brave Australian and British Prisoners of War who died in Sandakan and during the infamous death marches to Ranau during World War II.A mixture of bravary and sadness should been remebered here. The memorial also remembers the people of North Borneo who risked their lives to help the POWs. Visitors can also opt to view a brief video on the history of the Sandakan Death March.
