Travel Guide : Tips (2) Weather Check


Hellllooo travellers~
Have you ever get stuck in bad weather during your holiday??? Urff...if you have, of course you dont want this to happen again rite??



Holiday is the time when we spend our time,doing something we usually don't do to release our stress. Some like to spend time with family/ friends by the beach, picnic at waterfall or having some adventures. Most of the things we do during our holiday involve outdoor activities. Hence it is utmost to ensure the weather is fine for us to do such activities. So, what the prevention action we can take?? hmmm....


Usually AP will have an overview of the season that particular place that AP would like to visit. For example,  if we want to go to 4-season country, we have to see at what season is the best to that particular country suit to our activities. If we want to go to countries near the equator instead e.g.: Malaysia, Indonesia etc, we will see what is the best month to visit that particular countries. It is important as we do not want to get stuck in the rain.

Ok, where can we get those information ??
Actually, if you have ample time to do some research, you may want to read the travelling book which helps a lot in telling you about the destination that you are going to go. Just flip to the weather section (usually in the introduction chapter). You will certainly get some overview about the best time to visit that place.

However, it sounds tedious rite~
So, AP can suggest a simpler and faster choice. Just go to Air Asia website. Click 'Travel Info' at the left bar and 'Destination Guide'. Next just choose your holiday destination.

STEP1:

STEP 2:

SAMPLE:

Annual weather for Kuala Lumpur
Annual weather for Bali


haa..see~
as simple as that! Pls pls do not take this for granted as this simple research will help you to have or to enjoy your vacation at most. You had already spent money on flight tickets, accommodation,etc... but suddenly the weather is bad and that will be just a waste, rite?

Travel Guide - Sabah : Rumah Terbalik @ The Upside Down House



Hello hello travellers~

AP come back with Rumah Terbalik at Sabah or also known The Upside Down House!
Have you ever been to this unique house? 


The 'Rumah Terbalik' from the parking area

The new attraction in Sabah is located at Tamparuli,it takes approximately only 45 minutes driving from KK town (see the map below). Hmm, Malaysia Book of Records had already listed this such house as the First and The One and Only in Malaysia! So, please dont forget to put this Rumah Terbalik as one of your MUST GO destination at Sabah!

How much the fare? For locals, only RM 10 for an adult and RM 5 for children

Ok, what will you see at this unique 140 sq feet house?
Believe it or not, you will see EVERYTHING is upside down! Even you can see the car parked at the garage is also upside down! You've gotta  see it with your own eyes!

Somehow, they do have their own do's and dont's outside and inside the house. It's their culture that we have to abide. 

1. Hit the Gong outside the house for 3 times before entering the house.
2. Knock the door.
3. ONLY walk on the red carpet.
4. DO NOT touch anything inside the house.
5. Taking pictures inside the house is prohibited. So, you must go to see it yourself!

Hit the gong 3 times
Anyway, The Upside Down House is a unique and creative idea. It has already become a new attraction at Sabah.
So, what are you waiting for? Quickly book dates for a visit to Sabah! ;)

Travel Guide : Tips (1) Luggage Safety



Hello everyone! :)

 AP hope that you guys are in the best health and still in the flowery mode of vacation! Ok, wherever we are going, always and always remember SAFETY FIRST.Despite the excitement of releasing ourselves from office, please never ever expose ourselves to any crime or danger. First and foremost, have we ever think of the safety of our luggage?

 Please ponder to take below tips seriously on ur luggages' safety:

 1. Choose a unique luggage
It's ok to choose a weird design or colour(i.e bright colour) as the uniqueness will ease u while waiting for your luggage to come out from the conveyor belt.



 2. Put a unique identification at ur luggage
Please put a unique identification to differentiate ur luggage from others. This will be more important if you have a common coloured luggage such as black, navyblue, red. Unique identification can means anything :
 i) ribbon
 ii) big sticker
 iii) scarfs 


 And if you have more than 1 luggages, please don't forget to put that same unique identification to all the luggages. This will assist you in grouping your luggages.


 3. Never ever put ur home address anywhere at ur luggage 
Putting your home address will just make the thieves out there easier to rob your house while you was away. Just use your office address instead. 


 4. Never ever leave ur luggage unattended 
This is a big big warning. Never leave your bag anywhere unattended. Other than the risk that you might lost ur luggage, you might also found "alien" inside ur luggage later.


 5. Please don't be so kind of offering yourself to take care of someone's luggage 
Nowadays, there are many fraud cases where immigration found illegal things e.g drugs, danger weapons, explosive materials in the luggages. So never ever be so kind to unknown people. Regardless of what people might say about you after that, please just ignore them and think about ur own safety first!


Ok, till here. Please wait for our next post.. psst..psst we are going to write something about our inaugural destination review. Bye!
