What is it about travelling that gets you going?

From my end, it is the new adventure and the "thud" in your heart especially when you face the immigration officers who look "mean" and go around the new environment with complete dependence on your tour guide. Then just when you decide to let go of the newness of it all, the scenery before you makes you wish all of it can be replicated back home.
Take a look at some of these awesome sites . . . and we do acknowledge the "developed" country that Singapore is and Kuala Lumpur too.
Yet for us who have lived for more than half a century, we get to give more importance to realities that truly matter: love of family with the children as the people dearest to your heart and one's home where everything natural is - the feeling that in it is the genuine belongingness and being who you truly are.
So to get back to the question: what is it about travelling that gets you going? It is basically to get away but only for a short time and travel back home to come home to stay.
With Teacher's teacher senior citizen status, it is a wonder to be able to wander around Cebu to Singapore to Malaysia back to Singapore to Cebu and finally home. For Teacher's teacher it is another opportunity to share to her students the bigger world out there and inspire them to see it for themselves!
Let some photos speak for itself . . .
Singapore is famous for its Universal Studio where Resorts World is or is it RW where Universal Studio is. Also a Singapore trademark is Marina Tower: 56 stories! So up there, we see the grand city.
Our trip to Malaysia was the "icing on the cake" what with the generosity of Datu and Datin and Zaiful. We went around Kuala Lumpur inside a "Hummer" and a tour guide who is the son of an Ambassador - how's that for a treat?
Succeeding blogs will feature more sites which we can only remember with much candor for now we have come home and of course it has to be said: With all the feasts one's eyes can only behold and leave us tongue-tied and awed, our hearts still prefer our home.
