Mount Bromo, Indonesia

April 17, 2010 (Saturday)

Woke up at 3.00 a.m., my friends and I were prepared to continue our journey to the viewpoint at Mount Penanjakan, to witnessed the most well known Mount Bromo and other volcanoes during sunrise.
By taking the jeep tour, we moved at 3.30 a.m. and took around 45 minutes to 1 hour to reached the viewpoint. On the way to the viewpoint, there was nothing much to see as the surrounding was dark and the air temperature was about 5°C with a high wind at that time.



At the viewing platform, many people were very excited waiting for the sun to rise. Everyone were looking for a secure spot in the already crowded deck. Cameras were checked to get the best shot of the view. Not only the foreigners were eagerly waited for that moment but the locals also were enjoying the scenery. 
After seeing enough of the views, we headed to the Mount Bromo. 

At 8.00 a.m., we arrived at the lower slope of the Mount Bromo. We took a walk across the slick volcanic sands to the base of the mountain's cone. But some people chose to ride a horse instead. Once at the cone, we climbed a rather steep stairway to reach the top of the Mount Bromo to view into the crater.


It was amazing.

Shanghai World Financial Center (SWFC), China

March 7, 2009 (Saturday)  At about 8.30 a.m.,  I was standing in front of the SWFC, one of the tallest building in the world. It was cold (about 7 °C ) and windy at that time. We were lucky to get the entrance ticket   fast as we were there early. Although we got the ticket, we still have to wait for our turn to get into the building.  As time reached at 9.00 a.m., the line at the ticket counter became longer, filled with people especially tourists. Once we were inside the building, we were being led to a dark room. I was wondering why we were taken to the dark room. And I believe other people were thinking the same thing too. One of the officer told us to look at the ceiling. And numbers appeared on the ceiling. The officer explained that it's the lift level indicator. I was so fascinated with the idea and design. At the observatory deck, 100th floor of the building, I got to view Shanghai, Jin Mao Tower , Oriental Pearl Tower and Huang Pu River.  Fabu...
