Now a days, there is a lot of money to travel the world even if you just travel locally there is a big money involve to travel. Well that is one of my dream, to travel to different country. I want to go to Canada, Israel, Italy.. well that is if I have extra budget or a lot of money. My husband share to me his experience that in Malaysia there are lots of food carts outside and there is one family in their building that there is no kitchen. I asked him why it's like that? He told me that one of the family member explain that they wanted to help the economy of Malaysia by buying food outside, eating in the restaurant. In that way also they can help Malay people to their business and to grow economically. Well I think that is one of their basis to help the Malaysian government to grow economically. For me that is a good attitude they are not selfish but also thinking how to help their government. Is there anyone of you travel or at least once a year they have to travel or go to different country because it is your lifestyle and what have you learned by going to the other country?

I travel once a year and I love doing this because I am an adventurous person. World travel broadens my mine in so many ways. You meet new people, share new experiences, and let down your guard much more than when back at home caught up in the mundane day to day routine of life that we think is normal. I get to see how the world lives. I see the sun and smiles in Israel that go way beyond the CNN clips. I learn about the differences and embrace the similarities. I am not there to complain at how it is ‘so different than back home,’ but rather to appreciate these dissimilarities. Just because something is different does NOT mean it is wrong and in many cases it can even be better. And, the people I meet get to know a bit about me, my world, and my background which can help dispel some other stereotypes as well. And now, some headlines I may have not noticed in the past, grab my attention. I’ve been to these places and have experienced their generosity. Now I’m much more interested and aware of what is going on there. Have a nice day..and safe travel in the near future!

I do travel a lot to different parts of the world, mostly on my business trips. I have been to a number of countries in Southeast Asia, including Malayasia, Thailand, and Singapore. Very beautiful countries, and the people are very friendly and courteous. In Kuala Lumpur, Petronas Towers are really so impressive. Thailand, "The Land of Smiles" as they call, certainly is very interesting too with many places of attraction for visitors and tourists.

I would like to be able to travel to different places too. Out of the country, I have only been to Hong Kong and Taiwan. I haven't been able to travel that much since I got married and that was already a long time. The only time when I was able to go out of town was when a very nice couple treated us to a vacation in a province. I also enjoy the learning experiences that I get when we travel. I hope that I will be able to travel again soon, it would be nice to be able to share my experiences here in mylot
