What are u waiting for???????

There was this article in the Straits Times over the weekend, about a person who took 33 years to travel 193 countries, doing it before 50 years of age.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean someone actually did that!!!

33 years.. that means an average of 5-6 countries a year. Was thinking how I can actually achieve that.. think and think, I can only think of one way..



I have to join SIA.


For your info, there are 195 countries in the world, if you include Vatican City, Kosovo, and Taiwan. And I have only been to 7 countries!! Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan, Japan and USA.

Wah lau eh.. for the amount of travelling I do, I'm still living in my world.

Was at the doc just now cos of my fever, and to was amazed at the equipment he used. To check my temperature, he took up a gun-shaped device, point it at my forehead about 15cm away, and BANG.. my temperature is recorded.

Wow.. I didnt know its so advanced liao, from the days of placing a thermometer in your mouth for a min, to scanning to your ear, and now this. Zai man..


Anyway, I decided to start a travel blog, due to the amount of trips I made overseas, almost once a month if you include Malaysia. Tentatively it will be at travelwithalric.blogspot.com till I think of a better name.
