Imbasan Kembali 2009 ... Sarajevo ... series 1

Lama betul aq x tulis psal Imbasan Kembali aq ni. Bz adalah salah satu faktornya. Termakan bnyk semut pun another faktor smapi aq terlupa psal series Imbasan Kembali aq ni.

Imbasan kali ni aq paparkan visit aq ke Bosnia i Herzegovina. Bosnia ni dulu adalah sebahagian dari negara Yugoslavia d bawah pentadbiran ala ala komunis Jeneral Tito.

Masa perang saudara tahun 1990an, ramai gak rakyat Islam yg terkorban. Hasil dar perang saudara tu, negara Yugoslavia trus berpecah menjadi negara2 kecil seperti Bosnia i Hervegovina (majority penduduk Islam), Serbia (majority penduduk Kristian), Croatia, Macedonia and Kosovo.

Walaupun hasil peninggalan perang saudara masih tertera d sekitar bandaraya Sarajevo yg pada tahun 1980 an pernah menjadi tuan rumah Sukan Olimpik musim sejuk, namun, negara Bosnia ini mempunyai bnyk tempat kesan sejarah dan jugak tamaddun Islam dari zama Khalifah Ummaiyyah.

So korang enjoy ar scenery2 d Bosnia.

Ni lak cerite masa aq g Amsterdam tahun 2009. Masa ni baru ajer abis event. So masing2 kire g holiday arr kat Europe (bak kata pepatah, sambil menyelam minum air).

Tapi d sebabkan budget aq dah burst (as usual), so aq decided tuk balik KL jer tapi sempat ar jugak jln2 kat Amsterdam sambil menikmati keindahan bangunan2 d kawasan persekitaran.

Neway, masa aq dok jln2, tetibe jer, aq terserempak ngan satu tempat ni. Mulanya rasa malu ler gak nak masuk tapi d sebabkan terlalu curious, aq redah jer ler....

Korang tau aq masuk ke mana?

Imbasan Kembali ... March 2009 ... City of Love ... Paris ... series 2

Ni masa mula2 touch down kat
Charles de Gaulle airport
of course snap2 dulu

Dlm train menuju ke hotel
masa ni muka tgh kembang
dek baru abis flight 13 jam

Cabaran pertama aq d Paris ialah nak berkomunikasi. Org2 French ni x ramai yg pnadai cakap org putih. Dorang hanya cakap FRENCH sahaja. Cuba bayangkan...... GILA........Mmg gila
Neway, adaler jugak sekerat dua yg bole faham. So smpai aje, aq trus amek train g ke stesen (alamak lupe ler nama stesen tu pulak). Aq menginap kat Novotel, dekat dgn Eiffel Tower. (saje jer plan camtu, so x tercangak cangak lak kang mencari).

Smpai jer ke stesen, dah jadi buntu. Map ade tapi masaalahnye, aq ni x pndai baca map. Ni kalau masuk hutan gerenti aq x kluar2 dah. hehehehehehe. Last2 aq tanyaler kat satu Aso French ni, tanya kat dia mana hotel yg aq cari tu. Dia bagai nak rak explain kat aq dlm French, so aq sepatah haram pun x faham laaa. Tapi nak berlagak punya pasal, aq ngangguk kepala konon2 aq paham ler. Mujur dia ada angkat tangan menunjuk ke satu arah, so aq wat kesimpulan yg hotel tu arah tu ler... Lepas aq ucap "Mercie" kat dia, aq pun bergerak menuju ke arah yg d tunjukkan.

Jalan punya jalan smpai kat jalan mati. Rupe hotel tu haram pun x nampak. Letih gak aq kalau camni. Ada sorang mamat ni tgh lalu kat situ, trus aq tahan dia tanya location hotel. Nampaknya macam pisang berbuah berkali kali, sepatah haram aq x paham cakap mamat ni. Mujurlah dia macam dpt detect aq x paham cakap dia. So dia tunjuk kat satu kete ni, soh cari hotel yg sama kaler ngan kete tu. Again, after aq cakap "Mercie", aq mencuba nasib aq skali lagi.

pandang punya pandang, cari punya cari, rupa rupanya hotel tu ada kat depan mata. Cuma aq berada d bahagian belakang hotel, so mana nak ada signage, betul tak. Tapi perjalanan aq tadi berbaloi jugak la bile aq check-in, aq d britau, bilik aq d upgradekan ke suite..... YooHoo!!! sukenya aq.

So pas aq masuk bilik, and settle down sikit, apa lagi trus arrr aq g ronda2 kota Paris. nak g snap2 pic ler.
Tapi yg best tu, anak melayu ni nak berlagak pulak. Orang2 French pun berbungkus bungkus bile kat luar, aq cuma pkai baju T-shirt satu ngan vest nipis and jacket. Kan aq dah cakap, nak berlagak. hehehehehe




Ni kat blakang Eiffel Tower.....
I loike this scenery...



Hahahahahaha
Mamat ni try nak jual kat aq painting yg dia claim dia lukis
Mujur aku x terpedaya
Mmg dasar penipu
dahler mahal
Last2 aku jmpe painting yg sama kat kedai2 area tu
wayyyyyy cheaper

 

Imbasan Kembali ... March 2009 ... City of Love ... PARIS ...series 1

Dalam bnyk2 city yg aq sempat travel until now, I guess PARIS will b my feveret. Why? Well, d city is so pretty. Masa aq g Paris, d weather is nak kata sejuk, memang, tapi x ler seteruk London time tu. It's the beginning of spring, so dalam sejuk2 tu still bole survive ler kire for someone dtg dri negara tropika.

Trip ni kire aq nasib baek, aq jumpe ngan member aq sorang ni yg kebetulan pun tgh vacation kat Paris. Since dah dua2 pun x der partner, so we decided to hang out together gether. Kire ok ler tu, kalau tak sape yg nak snap snap pic aq lak. Rugi besar kalau aq x amek kesempatan ni.

Ini trip kedua aq ke Paris. 1st time dulu masa aq kat University kat Amerika. Masa tu aq dpt durian runtuh. Dpt duit insuran accident. Itu cerite posting laen, ni cerite imbasan Paris aq k.

Ni masa baru smpai Paris.
otw g hotel nek train
dlm train ada org men muzik
kesian punye psal, aq kasik la sumbangan sikit
ond of course snap snap



Ni kat replica Lady Liberty

 

nampak tak bunga2 yg baru nak berkembang...
sempoi abis....
CANTIK siot
model tu k, bukan bunga ..... hehehehehe

 

Fuyooo !!!! asap kuar kat hidung.....

Eiffel Tower is a WAJIB thing
in Paris.....

Jejak Bertapak 2011 ..... Bari / Rome ..... series 3

This is my last entry for my Bari City / Rome trip. Nak posting banyak2 pun x guna gak coz I was only there for 2 days; a very long 2 days I might add. 1st day smpai, kene present paper at the local conference. Pastu malamnya dah kene g dinner (yang 4.5 jam tu.... see series 2 posting) and by d 2nd day kene wat audit.

Mujur audit dia x amek whole day, so ada ler gak masa nak jalan2 kat Bari town tu before it got dark. As any other European cities, bangunan dorang ni mmg antic2 blaka. Aq sempat ler snap snap beberapa building yg pada aq quite significant. Kat Bari ni bnyk giler theater. Orang2 kat cni kan jenis relax terlebih sudah. One good thing is that they seem to b a cultured society or community.

Overall, my Bari trip is quite pleasant. How aq wish aq brought with me more cash, baru betul kata dtg Italy.... Neway there will always b another, insyallah.

Ni kebab chicken
kat Turkish shop...
claimed to be Halal.
not bad just a bit dry.



Ni lak one of the many coffee bars in Bari.
Italian love to stop by these bars to have coffee
D culture is a bit different
U don't sit and enjoy d coffee
instead U just stand as if U ar at a bar and enjoy ur sip of coffee



This is one of the famous theater in Bari.
located on the main boulevard



Ni lak tugu Niccolo Piccinni
one of the famous poet from Bari



Ni lak scenery from the balcony frm my hotel
typical atmosphere of a night life
in Bari

 

Ni signage wajib aq snap snap
walau kat mana aq pg pun.
hehehehehe....

 

rainbow ni lak aq terserempak masa aq nak boarding
balik. Mmg cantik siot....
My last hour in Bari

 

Bye Bye Bari......
See U again.....
A presto



Jejak Betapak 2011 ..... Bari / Rome ..... series 2

Aq kat Bari x lama, tapi mak ai nak g sana, seksa abis. Kalau sape2 yg sakit pinggang tu, d nasihatkan jgn amek flight trus, singgah2 ler dua tiga hari kat mana2.... Flight aq dr KL ke Bari total 25 jam, transit 2 kali; once kat Dubai and second kat Rome. Tak lama, cuma 3 jam each, so x leh sngt nak p mana2, cuma sempat singgah g settle ape2 yg patut.

On d 2nd nite, aq d jemput ke majlis makan malam dgn reporter2 frm Rome. Location dia amat menarik; kat Toranto, about 2 hours drive frm Bari. Dinner tu kat one of d resort in d middle of olive orchard. Yes, U guyz heard me correct, in d middle of an olive orchard. In other words, in d middle of nowhere laaa. Hehehe.

By d time smpai, dah gelap but d weadar very nice one.Walaupun mata dah bengkak giler dek kerna jet lag, tapi aq gagahkan jugak. Dinner supposed to start at 8 pm tapi dah kul 10:30 pm, x start lagik. Perut aq dah nak mula keroncong.Since kite kat tmpat orang, so kene ikut rentak dorang ler.

Menu mengatakan ada appertizer, main course 1, main course 2 and desert. So kalau kat KL, kire cam biase2 jer ler... Finally food pun dah start kuar, tapi appertizer jer. Dah selesai appertizer, mamat and minah Italian ni sembang2 pulak. Selang lagi setengah jam baru kuar main course 1. Nak telan makanan tu x lama tapi nak tunggu next course lama giler. Last2, d whole duration of d dinner amek masa 4.5 jam. Ni kire satu culture shock ler wat aq. Dah ler 2nd main course dia...... jeng jeng jeng........ (ar U guyz ready).................

Dahler time ni aq dah ngantok coz body aq still follow Malaysian time, and time tu kat M'sia dah pukul 4 pagi...... Cube korang imagine..... By d time aq smpai hotel, body aq dah give up langsung; penat campur lapo campur ngantok smua campur skali.

Jejak Bertapak 2011 ..... Bari / Rome

Boun Giorno mia amicos.

Come sta?

Lama aq x update blog. maklumler aq kan g merantau jap. Aq g Bari, Italy. Originally aq supposed to go to Milan but changed at the last minute Bari. Organisasi yg aq visit tu ada 2 opis; HQ d Bari and branch d Milan. Neway, coz dorang yg bayar sepenuhnye, so aq kire ok ajer...

Aq g x lama, 2 hari jer tapi journey dia, ya Allah ya Tuhan ku, panjang giler. Masa fly g sana, it took 25 hours with 2 transits in Dubai and Rome. Masa balik pun ekcelli sama gak cuma aq dpt lepak kat Rome 6.5 jam and kat Dubai 4 jam. Saja jer kan soh aq perabih kan duit aq. hehehehehe

Temperature kat Bari ni mmg GREAT !!! Walaupun at 17 C during d day and 11 C at nite, still, mmg very comfy sngt. Tapi ada time dia very windy; windy sngt2 smpai aq kene pegang tiang lampu, takut terbang ke Mediterranean Sea dek angin yg kencang tuuu.

Yg x bestnye, aq sorang, so x dpt ler aq snap2 bnyk (with me in d pics laaa). But pic scenery bnyk ler gak yg aq snap2.



This is the scenery frm d plane

Very Mediterranean..... bnyk palm trees
