Bangkok, Macau and Hong Kong

It's always good to have vacation. I've been longing for this holiday for many many months. I visited 3 countries in 2 weeks.

I was in Bangkok from 18 Dec till 23 Dec for cardiology seminar with Joyce (my buddy from Hong Kong), Foong Yan and my boss. It was 3 days event. Spend 2 days shopping with Joyce :)

Joyce and me flew to Macau on 23rd Dec with Air Asia. We spend a night in a five star hotel in Macau. Apart from the casinos and Ruins of the church of St Paul, the accomodation was the best in the whole Macau trip :)
