December

December has been a busy month as I am out by 8 am and often only home around 10.30pm most of the days.

In between I have followed a charity group to Myanmer. We visited some villages as well as do some sightseeings in cities like Bagan and Mandalay. For their richness is historical monuments, there are not many tourists as compared to the neighbouring historical cities like Siem Reap. This is possibly due to the fact that they are just opening up. I will recommend people to go Bagan. Though be beware of stupa fatigue. After maybe 5 stupas/temples for me....

It is quite a different experience travelling in a big group. For the past few years, I have often been travelling independently or with just a very small group of friends overseas even if I am visiting development organizations. There are advantages and disadvantages to both modes of travelling. For me, I still prefer my usual mode as I personally feel I get to experience more and have more communications with the local when I am with just 1 or 2 other travelling companions.

Back to December, I was also busy with
-- buying presents
-- learning magic tricks
-- watching K Drama
-- attending parties
-- searching for winter wear

Wow sounds like a busy month indeed.

Next month is January, what will it behold for me .....
