Our last main stop before we move over to London was to the Edinburgh Zoo. It seems we must make a pit stop at a zoo in every major place that we visit. There are quite of marine park and zoo in Scotland but Edinburgh is one of the bigger and better zoo in UK… Continue reading Edinburgh Zoo, Scotland

River Safari & Amazon River Quest
Went back to the River Safari. Last visit was slightly over 6 months ago and the “boat ride” had not started then. To get to the boat ride, there is an extra $5.00 on top of the entrance fee. But frankly was a bit disappointed with the ride though. The ride was the sort of… Continue reading River Safari & Amazon River Quest
Ueno Zoo
Most country we visit, a trip to the local zoo is a must. And in Japan there are plenty of zoos but we only managed to find time to go to the nearest the Ueno Zoo. This is the oldest zoo in Japan I think. We were pretty excited because they have animals that we… Continue reading Ueno Zoo

So unlike the Zoo where we go more often, we hardly go to the bird park. The other deterrent of… Continue reading Jurong Bird Park
Marine Life Park South East Asia Aquarium at Resort World Sentosa
Was recently at the Marine Life Park South East Asia Aquarium at Resort World Sentosa. This is touted as the world largest aquarium but I wasn’t really impressed by it. Maybe it was too crowded and I didn’t get to see all the exhibits close up but somehow I felt that there were less variety… Continue reading Marine Life Park South East Asia Aquarium at Resort World Sentosa
Safari World Bangkok
About the only sightseeing place that I wanted to go to in Bangkok was the Safari World having seen pictures of it in some travel sites. And I was not disappointed. or maybe I was. There was a mini safari course where we could see some animals, actually a lot like the giraffe, rhino, camel,… Continue reading Safari World Bangkok
Sarawak Land of the Crocodile
We woke up bright and early the next morning to the sound of rain. And it rained and rained. It was still the rainy season after all and so we had to cancel our plan to visit one of the national park. We managed to find a friendly taxi driver and he took us to… Continue reading Sarawak Land of the Crocodile
