This is the third installment of my Northern Adventures' blog. It took a bit longer to be written because I was not too happy with it, and I had been re-writing it a few times. Though I am still not too happy with it, I decided to just let it be, and post it.
Day Three and Four
Our last day in Langkawi was a bit mess-up. After leaving our luggage at the left luggage storage in the Jetty Kuah Point, we went to Pekan Kuah to do a bit of shopping. Langkawi Island is a duty free island,
Today is the day of national mourning for Malaysia. Today we mourned for the victims of MH17. Today we received the 20 bodies of 43 Malaysians that had been repatriated from Holland. Today is a bitter sweet day for the families of the victims.

R H O D E S
After those little bit exhausting trips we decided to spend the time on the beach and to have fun there with the friends we made and who stayed in the same hotel. We met there two couples from our country and started going together on the beach or we visited the center of Rhodes City - the capital city of the Rhodes Island. In fact, it took us only about 20 minutes on foot to get there.
Once we decided to have some fun in the local WATER PARK in FALIRAKI situated only few kilometers f

Lately I read here on MY EC interesting nice blogs about places some members like Noaspls or Tree have visited and I have to admit that it inspired me to write a blog about one of the islands I fell in love with.

This is the second entry of my Northern Adventures. Writing this blog in a sense is a therapy for me. It allows me to look back at my holiday after being melancholy for a little bit.
Day Two
On day two, our day started very early. After having our breakfast, we went to Tanjung Malai to board our boat for the islands hopping adventure. I was a bit apprehensive at first to eat anything, just in case I would feel queasy on the boat. But since food and I cannot be separated, I ended up enjoying
Me and my friends are used to going out from home to work at 7 PM. I don't drive, but my friends Alex and Matt are used to driving because they took their driver's license long time ago. Just Miguel is getting used to driving because he only took his driver's license for 2 months ago. So, I am getting used to getting around in the car with Miguel. To calm myself down when Miguel is driving besides me, I used to take some medication. Miguel is a reckless new driver! Now,

This is one of the hardest blogs that I've ever written. It seemed to take forever for me to write and finish it. Due to certain circumstances, I seemed can't find my way to finish it. But when I took the time to re-write and continue with it, it seemed in a way to purge some of the sadness away. Now, I can look back to my holiday with fond memories and I don't feel so guilty for enjoying my holidays.

As long as I have been in Englishclub.com, I often asked my chat-mates “ What do you know about Viet Nam? ” and they immediately answered me: “ I only know about Viet Nam through two wars in the past ; French – Viet Nam war and America - Viet Nam war”. I’m proud of being a Vietnamese because everyone knows about my country as the land of courage, strong spirit, hardihood, etc... But in this blog, I’m not going to tell you about it because you can easily seek it on many websites about Viet Nam

As far as I can remember, I never visited my birth place. It's just a name, Batu Pahat which literally can be translated as Rock Chisel. It's a name where I put as my birth place in any document. It's written in my identification card and all official documents, but that's all. Am I curious where I was born? Of course, but I never have the inclination to visit it since I don't know anyone there, nor my close relatives are living in the area anymore.

Nothing in this world can substitute blood, blood has been circulating inside of us since we were born and till the last breath warms our body. To describe here more about blood from the medicine´s view would be work for a doctor, my task is to show you in this blog something interesting, informative and maybe you will even learn new things.
As we all know without blood nobody can survive.
So first of all I would like to appeal to you for thinking about donating blood if possible because to live w
I've recently noticed so many bloggers plagiarizing, which means they were copying and pasting things from the Internet, such as photos, text or articles, poems or song lyrics, etc. I know most of the time they were doing that accidentally - they may not have been doing that intentionally. They may not have known what is plagiarism or may have been totally unaware what they were doing was illegal.
Why is the plagiarism taken so seriously here? Big deal? You should know th
