Hello all friends.
Welcome to my alternate blog that focuses on my travels around the world. This blog will include my personal insights on places, tips on where to stay or where to eat. It will also pictures and mini adventures i had along the way.
one may ask...
"Why then do we need read this blog if we have lonely planet?"
the reason is obvious... because most guide books are targeted at western tourist and for 'mass tourist' (refer to Budhalis 2001 and Poon 1990 for definition on mass tourist). Personally i encounter many such incidents when guidebooks seem accurate for the Western tourist but never in the context of the Asian tourist.
therefore... this 'not so lonely planet' guide then is meant for my friends, Singaporeans and Asians to refer to. And yes, i am not leading a personal attack on the flaws of any particular tourist guide books ... their fame has already cemented their credibility.
