Essential Introduction to Family Trip Charles In today's episode saga will know the new characters, "The Two, who decided to explore the unknown." I say more, you will know three key person for me so that I could be here and experience these beautiful moments in Asia, my dear family and my heartfelt przyjaciela.Tyle Title of introduction, let's get to the point ...
From the first moment when I learned of his departure I thought it might also be a good reason for my Rodzinki to pick up in the pages of the world. Since we all like to travel and have long since we had no opportunity to go somewhere together, parents have accepted this idea in the blink of an eye. Probably more out of curiosity than out of nostalgia for me) but nothing. After long thoughts about the timing of their arrival in the end I put on 15 March. As it turned out very happily chose the term because to meet the travel plan had to leave school for a week, and it was a very crucial week throughout the semester, when all the final presentations are prepared and seasoned with enormous responsibilities of local students about the pain hair, but my wonderful group to understand my problem and how to say it, made a very big contribution to the duties assigned to me, for which he heartily thank them.
My friend Luke decided to join the team composed of my parents, brother Patrick and me. Together we move on to conquer Asia during their stay. Unfortunately they could not be too long and places to visit so many had no real problem in the configuration of the optimal routing. Finally, during the 10-day stay we visited 3 countries: Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. Planning took me a good few days and the same books of all flights and hotels in almost 12 hours, but eventually the week before their arrival, everything was buttoned up to the last button. But let's start from the beginning.
guests had arrived at 7:05, on Thursday 16 March. As we all know, Wednesday is not part of the boring days in Singapore and one of the responsibilities of exchange students is to appear at Wednesday's event. As a good student, I could not ignore such a serious responsibility, so I decided to try a repeat of the Boracay adventure or divest themselves of sleep Wednesday night and arrive the morning straight to the airport to pick up my distinguished guests.
Everything went according to plan: beforek among the exchange students, and afterek imprezka into the living room, a classic. This evening was not the best in the LR around 5 o'clock so we left the playground to go to breakfast at Uncle Ronald, however, "something" we stood in his way. Suddenly, loosely thrown into the air the phrase "Let's go to the pool on the 5th floor" sparked confusion among the crowd. Actually, why not, died after a moment's thought, and so quietly that the protection is not stood in the way we went to the Marriot hotel and the elevator button 5 wcisnęliśmy We saw the beautiful pool on the roof of a building who belongs to the hotel, starry skies, flashes of light from Orchard Rd, lack of protection and fresh towels. Without waiting for a long time Andrea decided to check out Greg's skin or in the pool water is too cold, and pushed him without a moment's hesitation. This is way beyond the patience of Greg and his sense of humor, we tested also his mobile phone from Panasonic, which has not withstood the tests and joined the crowds are not acting on the objects he Tree Hill. That's why I use a Nokia:) Personally, I checked the water in the pool moments later and I have concluded that the optimum temperature was like 5:30 in the morning ...
but did not want to meet the protection of the hotel, dressed in boxer shorts wet so after a brief dip, however, we went to a nearby breakfast ', a friend and admired uncle R city awakening to life at 6 am (not idle here.) Around 6:30, we realized that it's time for me as soon as possible so I headed towards the subway in August with the intention of reaching the airport. After the first przesiadce to the next station is about 8 so why not cut a little nap, which unfortunately extended I woke up and practically on the same subway station but no longer have time to go back. I looked at my watch: 7:40 and the plane was about 7:05 wylądowć. Zadzowniłem hastened to my guests and where they are instructed to take a taxi, alone in the meantime, I went to walk home. We met a while after 8 on One Tree Hill. For such a long flight looked radially and quickly male part of the tour went to the pool and my mom loved me, he treated Jurek and Polish specialties, which at the special request brought to us from the Polish. You should see our faces when landed in our kitchen 20 kg of Polish food industry and among them such rarities as dried pork sausage, Russian dumplings, potato cake, ham, real bread, marshmallow and many others. At the moment I write these words refrigerator is still full to half, yum.
So thank you very much especially my mother but also her aunt Anna and Eli for our palate pleasures:)
That day I showed my dear our wonderful school, and Singapore at night. They had a chance to see an amazing panorama from the windows 71 floors of the New Asia Bar, but Patrick, Lucas and me was not enough So we visited Gmax altitudes in search of extra emotion. For non zorienotowanych, commonly called a reverse bungee. In practice, this is a steel structure in the shape of a sphere with 3 seats, suspended for two elastic ropes, which are placed opposite ends at the end of 30 meter towers. Links to stretch and not even known, at which time heroes in the middle are fired up like a shot to a height of 55 meters przyśpieczeniem 0-100km/hw s. Quite a nice experience. Luke commented on how it hung in the air when "how we get home I drink a bottle of w. .." Recommended:)
next two days was devoted to sightseeing and shopping Singapore. All the sightseeing places have been previously described, so will not waste your precious time. Let me just say that Singapore has done on my guests were very positive impression.
Another highlight of the trip was the Formula 1 Grand Prix at Sepang in Malaysia. We left on Saturday at 3 am from Singapore gay bus which took us straight to the track. Along the way, my guests had the opportunity to see how the clearance in the implementation of Singaporean and Malaysian customs officers, lol. In addition to these amazing sights we had the opportunity to sample local delicacies at a roadside foodcourcie, Yuma, 6 am, time for breakfast and a choice between many specialties lekkostrawnymi typically be breakfast: fried rice with seafood, chicken curry and something that did not even know what it was:) Though I tried to persuade the family to the tasting, only Luke he was brave enough (or the most hungry) to join my breakfast. The others looked at our plates with horror;), well, toast and jam it is not:) I finally arrived safely on the track at 9 am, provided they liters of water, we have been deprived of it at the entrance, so as to screw the local economic situation, posilając on the track, where everything was, incidentally, five times more expensive than the average shop in Malaysia and a small can of beer cost 20 PLN:) We took a comfortable place on the grass and watched the preparations for the races. Like sun was hidden behind clouds, so we all porozbierali to use this opportunity to catch a tan in the sun because this will give us nothing, but it turned out that we gave up because I fooled all of the equatorial sun spiekło so that by the end of the day looked like cooked lobstery:) not to mention how much lotion all wtarli in radiant skin. Well, but back to the attractions of the day. The first point of the former Formula BMW. Some funny-looking left and buzzing formulas, pursuing a second, and after 30 minutes it was after the race. Frankly no major revelations. Moments later on the track there are several beautiful SLK 55 AMG, which played up and did the show for viewers in the Mercedes ad, which is one of the sponsors of the event. Cute little toy cars quite smoothly moved around the track and did a much better impression than predecessors. We all waited with impatience for the start of GP 3 pm for high temperature wilogtność and gave each its toll and the time seemed to stand in place. The next cars on the track were the Porsche Carrera, who that day played out the second race in the Carrera Cup. This time it was something to look, beautiful sound of engines and a large speed awakened us from the torpor. At the end of the Carrera Cup was the presentation of F1 drivers, they all went to the track with beautiful classic roadsterami. But just when viewers zoabczyli Michael Schumahera we could see how great crowd came to Ferrari supporters tor. Checkerboard flag with a red background were ubiquitous. At the end of the parade of drivers, only half an hour of preparation between us since the beginning of GP. One lap to warm up engine and check the cars, one to warm up the tires and ruszyliii. But before we saw the first car, we heard a terrible roar all the cars, a symphony for the ears of any fan of motorsport, orgasm for the senses. At the first corner, of course, appeared as the first Renault car and immediately behind him, all the rest, then a long straight, and only after we understand what it is F1, and why have so many fans around the world. What you can see in TV is nothing like experience that is being experienced on the track, only a few dozen meters from the tracks and cars, which almost fly over the asphalt, led by drivers who either need to take strong drugs or have no fear because they reach a velocity are amazing. Wow, nothing more nothing less, and although the day was tiring everybody happy as a little child, what is more, even my mom liked the race and even do not drive:) Circle 17 was all over and we went straight to the coach, then all usnęli in the blink of an eye. For Singapore, we arrived around midnight, zdarzyliśmy repack and what some sleep for two hours to about 7 am, our plane was leaving for Phuket. Imagine the face of my brother, who loves to sleep, when I woke him mercilessly about 4:45 but I have not spoken to anyone that can still be nice and pleasant. Well it is Monday, 8 am and begin a new chapter of my guests at the same time put your feet on the territory of a third country within 5 days of your stay, hello, welcome to Phuket.
all happy we got off the plane in the hope that we will have an hour to rest the hotel's pool and a nice make up for arrears in a dream we went straight to the clearance. And I ask you, about face, we need a little more to show you our local biurkoracji and destroy a little cash, yes, yes, we do not know that you are in the EU do not care about it, buy a visa. My irritation reached its zenith and could not believe it, I called to ask if Jurek met him and confirmed the same story, pity they did not told me about it before;) But for the visa you need is a picture, we do not, no problem, copy of passport , no problem. So after half an hour gives you a visa, then I take out the local currency to pay for a delectable Pan in the window has already come up with another charge, the most expensive photocopier in my life, 10 zl per page black and white of our photos. You have to admit that they do not speak English but are quite creative, Thai customs officers do not:)? But my dear mother was so tired and irritated the situation that the Lord looked at with an air that he did not say anything about extra charge just said it, so it went. It was fortunately the only hostile natives which met in Phuket. Before the airport was already waiting for us, the driver of the hotel, the hotel delightful ladies with cool towels and cocktails, which zawiozły us to a nice house, where dp upgradeowano us for free, check in the room 4 hours before oficalnym, fresh fruit, a beautiful house in the garden. It is true that nice compared to the border? Immediately we all feel better and checked the comfort of mattresses and cuts off a step nap. Overall, Monday was a day for recovery but not for long because, as already mentioned, the schedule was very tight and already on Tuesday morning we went to Phi Phi Islands. Phi phi
already know from previous relationships Jurek speaking so briefly, beautiful bays, turquoise water, white beaches ... Gdbybym was a writer of romances, just such a place would visit in search of inspiration.
Another point was the Bangkok trip, which flew on Wednesday night. On the way from the airport to the hotel I cut off the Culture chat with a taxi driver. Apart from the obvious facts about the largest city and miejcach that we visit we learned a very important thing. Well, the King of Thailand has extraterrestrial powers, may summon and dissolve the rain on demand. Now I do not know who is better - Chuck Norris and The King of Thailand, but it looks like they are the least equal. What's more, the wise men from all over the world visit him to collect the meteorological sciences. Besides being a good king, we all love him, he loves all religions but is old and probably will die soon and his son does not enjoy the great confidence of the people. Okkkkkkeeejjjj;)
Yet that same night the boys decided to try the local tuk tuki and one of them went in search of an open fast food, a little tired of Thai cuisine. As soon as the driver left the hotel driveway stopped and wound us broken English: where do u guys wana go? Nice girls, good girls, fucking show, ping pong show, good, good. No thank you, to please Macdonald. Why not, good show, Thai girls, pussy, pussy i. .. tuk tuk driver went out and could not restart the engine:) she said, some mniejszeg, małoleteniego fellow, put him behind the wheel and he started to push the tuk tuk and then returned to live in fear of re-issues remained alive with a new driver, crazy NB: ) so the journey through the streets of Bangkok, tuk tuk night off against the sports, which have been practiced, improved than a bungee, well, almost;) This new too fond of the word pussy, pussy and showed us a beautiful flyer, similar to those we find the wipers of cars in Warsaw, only women were more exotic ...:) Unfortunately, all junk food restaurants have proven to be closed after 22 but in at least the way we saw amazing taxis on the streets in the form of elephants. So yes, elephants on the streets with bicycle reflections on the tail, I know it's hard to believe I had a camera to get proof, but on the other hand, look, if the king can control the weather, why elephants would not dorabiać the as a taxi on the streets;) Thailand baby ...
The next day we set out to explore the city ... The standard boat trip on the river and canals, Wat Arun (beautiful) and after 3 hours we focused interest on the land before the Royal Palace, as you now know the relationship Jurek, the largest and most beautiful tourist attraction of Bangkok. So I went hungry for culture, and we were able to go maybe 50 meters away when someone grabs my arm and I hear my friend (Andrea?), Hey, where are u from (no, it was not Andrea). A brief conversation, of course I told him that we see the Royal Palace and the was my mistake ... Royal Palace closed, buddha day, people pray inside, it can not, 3:30 pm They open. But my friend already had a solution to our problem, offer fast, 2 tuk tuk to three hours before they opened the Royal Palace, we see two of the Buddha and other such small purchases, and all this for only 60 THB more or less 5 €. So we went, we saw the Buddha, we met the Lord, who was in Poland on skis a few years ago;) and he really liked it because I did not so expensive as in Switzerland, where he was a year ago, threw coins into the cans was generous to us in the Buddha care;) and we had to go see another temple but along the way only a small jewelry shop. OK, and so we did not have what to do so let them be. Shop exclusive but, like a terrible and shoddy products at very "low prices" so we went on but before that, guess what, the protection from this store to our driver said that the temple, to which we had to go is closed because it is the day the Buddha and the last prayer . Gee, what a pity, so maybe the next shop. And such stores zaliczyliśmy have 3 or 4, said the driver finally bored, which clearly began to be annoyed that we did not buy anything, to take us to eat and no 2:30 this guy took us back to the Royal Palace and 500 THB indignantly says he's bought. I do not even know which of us politely told him to s. .. and I gave him 100 THB, as it turned out the 100 too much because the Royal Palace was open all day and the victim of assholes, not us, moreover, the only ones. Fortunately, as it said an official guard at the palace, we had luck that brought us so early because you can buy the last tickets at 3:30 and we could not get at all that day to the center. Royal is a beautiful palace, was founded over 200 years ago when a king there, He argues that the new capital of Bangkok (Thailand before Bangokiem had two other capital) is not representative of the complex palace and no prayer so ordered the construction of this. I do not remember the exact numbers, but gold is not spared;) does an amazing impression, moreover, have seen the pictures that they posted Jurek. On that day, even a short shopping on Khao San Road and tired we returned to the hotel and then went to the evening youth standard for Bedsupper Club and the Q Bar, a very nice entertainment locations on the map of Bangkok. Overall, cool place, but unfortunately Thai is not;), the owners are surprisingly in Singapore ... In addition to being mentioned BSC Jurek I'll just add that they have the strangest kokatjli card I've ever seen. Since that night, no one will tell me that certain alcoholic beverages do not mix;)
Friday we spent the entire municipal called Pratunam, a huge marketplace, wholesale and retail, clothing, and manufacture, that's all you can see the Pratunam and besides buy original otherwise products from all brands and I must admit that the talent for copying our Thai friends have;) I wanted to write the Thai people, but I did not know whether the correct term people of this country so disgusted with our ignorance, we did a quick research Jurek, whose effects can be found here;)

Equipped with funny t-shirt after 10 zł art and other products all manner of ointments and tired of street fairs with great joy have finished our day in the pool ...
Saturday, was the last day of my visit to respectable reviews in Asia. Full relax, quiet breakfast, the last shop, the flight to Singapore, which was delayed an hour and finally at One Tree Hill rd, here where it all begins and ends near 20 we got a plane that had taken away my heroes back to Europe, set off at 23:50 so fast packing and my dear departed back to the airport to spend another 16 hours the aircraft; (Despite the limited time was the time for tears, hugs and goodbye, but there is no need to cry now See for all of you for two months in Poland. And I end with this optimistic my relationship thank you for your patience and perseverance congratulated, dobrnęliście it up here ..
