Traveling Around Asia

Been working and living here in Singapore for a number of years now. And one of my best experience is to be able to travel around the region. In the past years i managed to squeeze some time to travel (when bosses are away on holidays). I may one of those lucky ones who can get away whenever I want to. I love traveling , i consider myself a very  adventurous person.
Although my trips are short I enjoyed all my trips, I  have a friend who loves traveling too and whenever we both have the chance we try to squeeze our limited time into traveling. For some maids who are working here they can only envy us whenever we said we just traveled overseas and of course they said WHOA you so lucky.

I get a very reasonable pay every month, so extra money for traveling is not a problem..The countries that i have visited over the years are , Hongkong, China, Brunei, Macau, Malaysia( been to Malacca, KL,  Genting Highlands, Cucup a small fishing village in Malaysia and a numerous trips to JB)I also make a numerous trip to Bintan  and Batam which I quite enjoy.
I am planning to visit Vietnam, Cambodia and Nepal someday if i have the chance and the extra money of course. I enjoy traveling because i love photography. I took a lot of photo whenever i travel and I will put them in a CD and gave it to my relatives back home to show about  the countries I visited.
One particular place i went to in China is the 7 Wonders of the World. Its a massive park in Shenzen where  they build a look alike of The White House, Grand Canyon, tower of Liberty, Pyramid of Egypt and so on. There was also a Eiffel tower and all looks like the real one.
And in Brunie I noticed that there is no tall buildings or  sky craper like what we have in Singapore. The land is massive but you cant see tall buildings and i find it so strange knowing that Brunei is a very rich country. Me and my friend who lives in Brunei drove to the other end of the island where they built the 2 Mllionth Barrel Monument. Then we went wandering about in the Empire Hotel and Golf resort , it was a very massive place , the hotel structure is so beautiful. We sat by the edge of the pool and no one noticed that we are not a guest there. I think everybody can go there and take a leisurely walk around the hotel . We had dinner though in one of its restaurant so we are not a intrusive stranger after all..
My aunts who lives in Scotland  and London are  inviting me over and over again to visit them there. If only visa can be bought in a flea market why not....sigh. I heard a horror stories in Singapore about visa application being ignored by a  official at the British Embassy. I f they find out that you are working as a maid they wont even look at your papers even though your sponsor  provides you all the necessary documents.
Talking about assholes.......My  uncle who lives in Las Vegas  was  inviting me to visit him and his family as well but that can wait. Wait till the word discrimination disappear in the dictionary.
