China
Yes! I’m flying off to Shanghai an hour later for my 8D7N vacation travel! I’m so excited now. Though the itinerary of the package is very tight in schedule with 6 cities and towns to cover withing 8 days, it still like a dream comes true to me since I’m going to be able to actually see and feel the beautiful scenery of Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Nanjing, Wuxi and Wuzhen, LIFE! I have been admiring all these places for so long and all these while only images and videos from TV documentary are stored in my memory.
I have made sure my camera have enough battery power (I brought 2 lithium ion battery pack and a charger with socket adapter with me) and have sufficient storage space (I brought 2 SDHC memory cards with 4GB each) in order to capture the whole but the whole footage of this trip. 
(“Is this trip a vacation or a photography expedition?“)
My biggest concern is the weather in Shanghai during these 8 days. Hopefully there would be no rain or little rain on these days as what forecast suggests. Bright sun and clear sky are also preferred. Other than that I would also hope for some nice local foods that come with the vacation package.
So, wish me good luck and I shall be back in a week time. By then, I will start off an all new series of posts on my travel experiences in…. Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Nanjing, Wuxi, and Wuzhen, China. Cheers! – Travel Feeder.

Tik..tuk…tik..tuk… The clock start counting down! Yes, I’m going to Shanghai this winter! The countdown began yesterday after we have booked a travel package to Shanghai at MATTA fair, Putra World Trade Centre, KL, Malaysia! You can feel my excitement from the number of Exclamation marks with that I’ve ended all the above sentence!!! Ha.. Ha… I have opted for a packaged travel to Shanghai because of these top 5 reasons:
- This is my first ever travel to China;
- For safety reason especially Shanghai where I’ve heard enough stories of friends being ‘conned’ by the local (sorry to those friends from Shanghai);
- We need a guided tour to cover so many travel sites in a limited time (8 Days only);
- We are altogether 5 persons in the group as I’m going with my family old folks!, and
- The promotion during the MATTA fair was really attractive! (In terms of price off course).
MATTA fair is the biggest and most popular travel fair held twice a year, in March and September in Malaysia. During this 26th edition of MATTA fair, from 5th to 7th of September, nearly thousand booths are gathered together offering attractive travel packages, inbound or outbound travel, air tickets, ground trips and more to visitors. Lucky draws and great prizes are to be given away to those lucky one.
We spent almost 6 hours there 
to do an overall research on various packages of Shanghai trip including prices, itinery and all those what’s, when’s, where’s and how’s… until we have our decision made with this travel agency, Regal Worldwide (holidays) Sdn Bhd. This is among the most well known travel agencies in KL and it was also why we opted for them: Reliability. We don’t want to sacrifice our vacation for that little price difference between agencies, if the agency go busted. Most importantly, the more popular is the travel agency, the less chance for a trip to be cancelled due to insufficient sign-up’s in the package!
After all, we got a 8D7N Shanghai/ Hang Zou/ Nanking/ Xu Zou/ Wu Zhen all-inclusive package deal for RM 2,375.00 per pax which I think is not too bad . The departure date is going to be on 15th November 2008 from the KLIA. Wow, slightly more than 2 months time from now!!! Tik..tuk…tik..tuk… start counting down again…. – Travel Feeder.
