Vehicles in India

Daily Traffic Jam

Maruti Suzuki Swift Sedan, took picture of this because we don'y have this model in Singapore

Public bus is a common transport in Mumbai

Me in a rickshaw. We call it a "cockroach" as it looks like one.

Old Fiat Taxi which you can see it everywhere in Mumbai



Food of India

Me making faces in a posh restaurant. The restaurant looked like a cave and is patronize mainly by foreigners like me.

I had bread (prata look alike), lamb leg, masala chicken and naan.

Front: Ah-Cha, very salty unlike Singapore ah-cha

Middle: Chutney, a sauce commonly consumed in India

Far: Onion but red, soak in beet root I guess. It's sweet, I like it

Another famous restaurant in Mumbai, me having Kingfisher beer.

They serve very good food there too.

Curried Lamb served in Le Meridien Hotel. Yum!!!

Overall, I simply love the food in India

Hamburg Alster Festival

Inner Lake where the festival goes round this lake. The festival is held for 3 days and roads will be closed so that visitors can walk round it.

It is a fun fair where there are beers, food, games and concert to entertain everyone.

Swans!!!! I am an animal lover, I love them to be roasted.

Hamburg St. Nikolai Church

This is one building I simply cannot help but stop to take photos. Most beautiful and grand church I have seen even though it is burn down and half the church is ruined in WW2. St. Nikolai church was just located in front of our hotel and I can see it everyday from my room's view.


This church is so huge that my camera couldn't capture the who site so I just concentrated on this beautiful tower.

I believe this should be the front doors of the church

Read it if you like to know why it is ruined.

Trying to capture other parts of the church

Above is the link of a video on "Bombing of Hamburg" in 1943 and St. Nikolai Church is shown in video too.

Hamburg Groninger Pils

This should be one of the best German restaurant I have been in Hamburg, the Groninger Pils. Dinner time, hungry.


Oh, a Camaro!!!!! It parked just outside of the reastaurant.

You can choose to sit in a giant barrel if you like to.

This is one full German Pork Kunckle. It is so big that I can finish half only.

Yummy, enjoying my food

Bengt decided to pose for me when I said that this restaurant looks like a prison.

Hamburg Miniatur Wunderland

This is my 2nd time to Hamburg, Germany (for a week from 23rd Aug to 30th Aug). Although I was there last year in Sept and stay for 2 weeks, I didn't have much chances to sight see but I do have during this trip. Thanks for the location of the hotel we have stayed. Steinberger Hotel, more expensive than Ibis Alster I have stayed last year (in fact double of Ibis) but it's near to most of our customer, interest site and shopping. Quite a pleasant trip except for the heat.


I was walking towards Miniatur Wunderland from hotel and I saw this beautiful bridge.


There, I reach Miniatur Wunderland. Nice building too and there are other interest site and theatre at this building too.

This is not real but it looks really "REAL". If you wonder why the photo is so dark or why do I visit this "wonderland" at night. Thanks to the lighting effects in this wonderland. There will be times when it is morning, afternoon, evening and night time by control of lightings. Miniatur Wunderland consist of "exhibits" from Germany, Switzerland, Italy and etc. They are planning to expand to other countries like India, Scandinavia etc.

This is really a miniature wonderland.... everything moves here and it looks so realistic.

Stadium filled up with thousands of fans as there is a soccer match in progress. Sorry, I really don't know what stadium is this.

There's snow and winter in "Miniatur Wunderland" too

This looks grand and trains moving on the tracks so took a photo of it. In fact, all train moves and most of the trucks and bus in this city moves too.

Cars moving in and out of a tunnel in Autobahn. Believe me, all objects are placed so close to visitors that you can really pluck one or two items off the city.

A scene in "Night in the Museum"?

This is one of my favourite part of the exhibits. Thousands of fans watching a concert.

A Trip to the Past

I was with a friend (known as Pooh within our group) around Beach Road one day. We decided to pay a visit to the little museum around that area. Admission was just $2.00 but it was an eye opener for people who likes old stuff like us.


Wanna watch a movie?

Book Store in the 60s

A carriage for toodler in the 1930s

Barber Shop in the 50s/60s/70s??

Pooh selling drinks in the 60s

Prams from another era

Rides for kids 30 to 40 years ago

Toys for kids back then. Seriously it is not my era as most toys shown was not recognised by me.

This reminds me of the movie “跑吧,孩子” by Jack Neo

One of the vintage bike in the little museum. There are 2 Vespas and 2 very old Honda bikes there.

Ferrari 348




Today after my lunch, I was surprised to see a vintage Ferrari parked just in front of our loading bay. It was driven by our contractor but heard from his boss that car actually belongs to his "customer" as he is doing modification of cars as part time. The Ferrari owner lives in a 3 storey bungalow and own 30 over cars.

Flea Market Fun

This July, we will be at the China Square Flea Market every Sunday! Not to make money but rather, it's more on the fun part and hopefully can make new friends who are into diecast or toy car collecting.


Kelvin aka Wei Qiang aka Pooh Bear hard sell his "Made in Singapore" fire truck and his "Made in Italy" Bburagos. But we have lots of fun with him around.
