Hong Kong 3D Museum (Hong Kong)

I really love the HK 3D Museum!

Address: 96 Granville Rd, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hongkong
Admission Fee: 149HKD (Adults) But during my visit, I had an e-coupon from the HK tourism website and got a 10% discount. So do check out the tourism website prior to your visit! :)

So I went to the museum (actl i went to HK) SOLELY for the One Piece exhibition and it was amazing!!! Although two of the backdrops were closed, there were still many exhibitions to take photos with!

There was also a Fish-Man Island themed mirror maze with its entrance at the figurines store.

Besides One Piece, there were also exhibitions that were HK-themed. There were also information boards to explain what the pictures are about. :)

There were many more HK-themed backgrounds but well, my focus was obviously not there. Haha.

It felt awkward at first as I was there alone but there was exactly a staff there who offers photo taking services! She is really nice and offered to take photo for me with EVERY piece of exhibition, but I was really shyyyyyy so I only chose some special ones to take with.

Oh yes! Not forgetting the Kachapon machinese at the ticketing counter. They were so cute!!! BUT they can only be purchased with the HK Octopus card! Cash was not accepted :(

Jilsiru Ddeok Cafe (Seoul, Korea)

This is my favorite cafe! It was my third visit over the past few years and the ddeoks are just as nice! It is a Korean Ddeok Cafe which serves ddeok and coffee! It is a ten-minute walk from Jongno 3-ga station exit 5. It is easy to find, on the left side of the road as you head towards Changdeokgung.

You can find more information on the visitkorea website and the map at the official website. 

There is a wide variety of rice cakes!

There are english descriptions and clear price tags, most are within the range of 800-1500 won.

Nice exterior design of the cafe. You'd definitely want to stop by for a photo or two!

There is also ddeok museum above the cafe (the cafe is actually part of the Traditional Korean Dessert School), it used to free for consumers at the cafe, however, at my latest time of visit, the admission to the museum costs 3000 won :( 

People Improvement Organisation (Phnom Penh, Cambodia)

The People Improvement Organisation is an organisation which had provided help to thousands of children in distress. It is somewhere where I think tourists should pay a visit. You can visit their website or facebook page to learn more about them.

The place I went to used to be a dumping site where children hunt for items to salvage. The founder of PIO, Phymean Noun, was determined to bring these children out of poverty by seeking to provide them education.

The organisation welcomes volunteers to plan their own programmes for the students. The programmes could include English lessons, Art and Craft, and many more, as long as they are beneficial to the children. They need volunteers to plan their own activities and provide their own materials for lessons prior to the start of their progammes. From what I learnt most volunteers at the organisation stay their for at least two weeks, at most 6 months.

It will also help the centre if volunteers would like to adopt a child to go through education, with a monthy standard fee of 50 USD. Part of this money would go to the running of the shelter and the maintenance of the schools.

There's still trances of it being a dumping site beside the PIO school.

Entrance to the vocational training schools where students learn skills like tailoring, computer skills etc.

These are the paintings in the common area of the shelter.

This lady, Ms Aurelia Gimenez, used to be a volunteer for six months at the organisation but had become the communications manager at the organisation. She can be contacted at aureliadaniels@hotmail.com, if you wish to volunteer at the organisation or adopt a child.

This student was making a bag out of recyclable materials. The items they made are sold at the souvenir/gift shop at the entrance of the vocational training school. They are really nicely made and are really good and meaningful souvenirs for tourists.

You can have a view of the once-dumping site from the classroom block.

Sambor Prei Kuk - Prasat Sambor (Kampong Thom, Cambodia)

Kampong Thom is a place with quite a few precious ancient relics. The Prasat Sambor is an area which contains relics dated back to the 5th, 6th centuries. The place is really impressive, it is a pity that this ancient site had been destroyed by the war.

This temple had a long history, currently, its relics are covered by an old, strong tree.

It is not obvious in the picture, but it's actually a crater created by a bomb during a war.

It will be good to engage a local guide to learn more about the history of the place because there wasn't any explanatory boards.

P.S: The guide above is Mr. Cheng Chenda, he provides tour to many historical sites. He can be contacted by (855) 17 282 749

Hmm... This is not an autumn scene, the leaves turned brown because of the dirt from the road.

This is the only information board I saw at the entrance.

This is the 'Holy Pond' where people used the water to wash off their sins.
