Patong Beach

Patong Beach (Thai หาดป่าตอง) is on Phuket's west coast, is the main tourist resort in Phuket. It also contains an important centre of Phuket's nightlife and is the centre of cheap shopping on the island. The beach became popular with western tourists, especially Europeans, in the late 1980s. Unfortunately, the beach was wiped out in Tsunami 2004. I wonder what it's like now.

Let's take a break and have a Cuppa!


How about a cuppa? Picture taken at Park Road, Milton, Queensland. Visited La Dolce Vita Cafe for a cuppa. Used to frequent this cafe in the mid 90s. The owner of this cafe used to own a red ferrari (that was in the mid 90s) and most of the time, it's parked right infront of the cafe. Not sure about now.....And of course...note this little Eiffel Tower (Brisbane, Queensland)

Flowers....to enjoy!


Just enjoy the flowers....nothing to really talk about except that when they bloom....gosh, it's just lovely! (Vienna)

Belvedere Palace

Austria - Vienna...picture of Belvedere Palace. I must confess that after seeing quite a number of palaces, I can't really recall what is it that I saw here. So, just enjoy the magnificent building and the view of the Palace. :)

Buda + Pest = Budapest

Here's the city of Budapest. Budapest as "one" city has only existed since 1873 - when the twin cities of Buda and Pest were united into a single city, together with the smaller Óbuda (old Buda) which became part of Buda. Buda is more hilly...on the left of the river and Pest is more flat, on the right of the river, from this picture. (Budapest, Hungary)

Fans of Winter Sonata

Ettamogah Pub

Most photographed Pub in the world!! Built in 1989, a replica of the Ken Maynard cartoon series made famous in the Australian and New Zealand Post Magazines. The pubs quirky shape and caricature appearance makes it a must to visit. The Pubs internal features are an eclectic display of everything Australian. A visit to the Ettamogah Pub is a visit to an Australian icon.
