Passion for Travel

My passion for dance never fade away, I know it has been a long time since I went to practical or any milogna, I miss dancing, I miss hearing those music and dance with the flow, dance with the heart, not the eyes or brain. Is a time when i can relax and stop thinking of everything, just using my heart.

Other than the passion for Argentina Tango, I also have that passion for travel if money allow. My greatest wish is still to go Argentina to live and dance. I am still holding it, while waiting for the day to arrive.

I am preparing for other trips also, it has been my thing that I wanna travel and feel the city. Even if is just siting down at the cafe of europe, doing nothing and looking at people. I am very inspire by #kampungboycitygal blog and website , how they advise people to travel around and places to eat, quite details for people who dont know what to do... Some photo that are nothing to us but is useful for people doing research..... I dont think I can do such a nice blog on them, but at least I can remember what I did, and refresh 20 years down the road.

So I manage to find this special itinerary to Bahamas that we( My ex and Me) actually won in 2006 !

When you reach the Grand Bahamas Island Airport, there was a shuttle bus picking us up to the Altantis Resort. Is almost like going to sentosa,  you need to cross this huge bridge like benjamin sheares bridge

This is the part of hotel lobby

I remember I was too cranky and sleepy while we reach the hotel at 1500hrs Bahamas time, SIN- 0300 hrs, without resting properly the last 2 day. I had jetlag, so while is daytime at Bahamas, I was sleeping away, but while is was 0000hrs Bahamas time, I actually woke up and unpacked my stuffs, wanting to go out but there wasn't anything to see.

I remember this was what he bought for me,a famous joint from US. Cant remember the name now. It was so delicious, although it was cold, is still very tasty with the burger.

 This is what is look like when you wake up in the morning !

..

The ocean water from north pole, it was cool and the sun was fantastic !

We actually have a day tour together with the rest of the winner from different country, courtesy of MTV. Many years back, at bahamasm they already have house facing the ocean with lots of famous celebrity as the owner, some are right in the middle of gold course.

This is the rum factory !

 the cake they made is not just flavour, it could really make me drunk !

The awesome breakfast every morning with a cup of awesome orange juice ( just juice, cost $10USD, $17+ then in 2006)

The next day was a sunset champagne cruise in a yacht with the rest of the group. I cant really remember what happen already, we had some little argurment then, and it totally spoilt the whole "romantic" and free cruise... Then to say, halfway down the cruise, it was cloudy and going to rain, just like my mood then.

After the night, was a dinner, after their review that the aquarium restaurant food was not fantastic, they decided to change the venue of the dinner. Disappointed a bit, but oh ya, it was free, just follow the programme. I remember the dinner portion was so much, most of the Asian people were so full after the appetizer, and the cocktails they have, some "don't know what" ma ma drink, was making me so tipsy then... Serious, not joking..

Then we decide to try their night life in Bahamas, one kind of experience, the most happening club but it was so empty before 0100hrs, although the alcohol was cheap then, but i dare not drink, I wont wanna be drunk in a foreign place  ! 

The most memorable thing should be, my Minolta camera decide to fail me when we just reach Bahamas, i could barely take a few photo with the ever fast running out battery. Lucky, my Nokia phone then was quite new, i am so sad that then we didnt have a very nice Camera, to capture more shot.
