finally, vacation!

I can't wait for this trip. I've been wanting to go to Cambodia for a long time, maybe more than 8 years! The beauty of Angkor Wat captured me once in a travel show and I have yet to experience the majesty of the biggest ruins in Asia until...soon!
I was in Thailand in 2008 about this time of year, but unfortunately did not make it over to the neighbouring country. Instead we went all over Thailand, beaches, Bangkok and Chiang Mai over 17 days.

This time, since I'm heading over to Asia, I wanted to visit some friends in Singapore and Hong Kong and make my trip a little longer (17 days again). I researched quite a bit, but I think it'll mostly be the major sightseeing, eating and shopping. I can't wait to eat foods like laksa, satay, hainanese chicken and rice noodle dishes. Too bad for my food allergies, it's really going to put a snag in my possible eating choices, because I love roti canai. It seems that even vegans can eat more than me, since I can't eat egg, dairy and gluten. Even for food in Hong Kong, no buns, milk teas, dumplings, etc. Ah, I really miss egg tarts, coconut buns, pineapple buns, etc, the list goes on. It's the most Chinese part of me :)

Well, red eye flight out tonight/Mon morning 0200h and arriving in HK for a 9 hr layover. Geez, I guess I'll get out for some fresh(?) air? Meet my friend for breakie in some neighbourhood and get through security again to go to Singapore. It's 25C+ over there!
