Asian Triangle Trip

My last holiday was in June-July of this year. I go on holidays whenever I can and this time I just happened to go to Singapore, Manila then Bangkok. I've been to Manila and Bangkok before, but it was my first time to be outside of Singapore Airport. Totally loved the place.

Here's the route I took on my 3 week trip using the lines feature on Google Maps:

I had a great time at all places, especially Singapore which I thought would be boring. Enjoyed the Singapore Flyer. There's so much more to be explored in Singapore. It really makes for a good stopover to other places. The Temples in Thailand are beautiful. I find them an interesting form of art. The freedom I have in the Philippines is unexplainable. I just feel so at home and at peace when I'm there.

Blogging can be fun when sharing travel stories with photos and videos! I think I'll make a travel blog for my trip at the end of this year - keeps my friends and family informed digitally because they always wonder where I am!

Playing around with Google Maps

I've actually used Google Maps a number of times before. I just love working with maps, and seeing what's out there. Geography was something I wanted to persue in Year 12, but it wasn't on offer that year :(

But anyway, I've learnt how to make my own map on Google Maps and I've embedded it here!

I decided to do a map of my suburb - Mill Park. I've spent a significant amount of time in my life living here, although I wouldn't say that this is where I've spent most of my life living. I've lived in many other areas of Melbourne too. I quite enjoyed the features it offers, such as placing landmarks. I've placed landmarks on important/significant places for me in the area. I decided to keep my map private. I didn't want my house to be shown to the public! I think that's an important feature of Google Maps, as it gives the option to make things public or private.

Now I'm off to work, I shall do another map of my own showing where I last went for a holiday....OOHH I'm excited. I loved my past holidays and can't wait to share it with you in one blog!
