INSTAGRAM FEBRUARY 2014

The month of February was such a big breakthrough of blessings & travel dreams that went into reality for the year 2014. It was also a tough season wherein I went into a roller coaster of personal & emotional issues & conflicts that made me realised I'm entering the new era of my adulthood stage, needed to be strong & mature in facing challenges & reality of life.

Most often people will ask me why I often travel & go overseas mo of the time. Wanna know why? Aside from travelling as my ultimate passion in life, I'm also taking it as a chance to see the world & comeback with a renewed spirit and a new set of eyes that can see things from a different perspective.

  

Anyways here's the photo diary of my food & travel experience for February 2014. Keep on reading my blog for more details. As the saying goes, "Not all those who wander are lost!"

Just TRAVEL & REFLECT.

YAS Waterworld Abu Dhabi is the largest waterpark in the capital of United Arab Emirates. Spread over 15 hectares, the waterpark features a thrilling range of 43 rides, slides & attractions. Four rides will be one-of-a-kind rides that have never been seen in a waterpark. 

YAS Waterworld Abu Dhabi's theme is based on a legend that represents local Emirati culture & heritage. Visitors will be able to enjoy attractions that follow the adventures of the waterpark's main character Dana- a young Emirati girl in search of a legendary pearl that brought prosperity to her village. Building on the legend, the park will have  a unique pearl diving attraction that showcases the role of pearl diving played in the UAE's rich history.

This is one of the best tourist destination I will definitely recommend when you visit Abu Dhabi. YAS Waterworld is a great place to hang out & have fun with friends as they offer the some wild & out-of-this-world water rides & attractions. We rented a cabana that gives you all the needs & comfort you need from food, cooling fan, comfortable reclining chairs & even fresh fruits & refreshments at a very affordable price range. It's a ride all you can basis, so you can try all the amenities until you get tired from all the thrill & fun this theme park can offer.

EMIRATES PALACE PRESIDENTIAL HOTEL

One of the most stunning hotel I visited in UAE is this hotel named Emirates Palace Residential Hotel. It is once the home place of the Sheik of Abu Dhabi, the capital of UAE. 

It is located in the heart of Abu Dhabi. This hotel amazed me with its structural design and of course the gold (literally pure gold) covering most of the hotels interior art forms & design details from the walls, chandeliers & pillars.

It was here where I first saw the first Gold dispensing ATM machine, how cool was that. From inside & outside of the hotel vicinity, you will just fall in love with its natural beauty & I hope one day I can also check in myself in this amazing hotel.

ABU DHABI MALL & WORLD TRADE CENTER MALL

Travel will never be complete without shopping. UAE is known for their extravagant shopping malls that you shouldn't miss. We were able to visit Abu Dhabi Mall & World Trade Centre Mall for a day. What else would be better than window shopping, food tripping & having coffee after a whole day of shopping therapy.

We were also able to visit the SOUK Market which was the traditional market place of the Arabian culture. We were again amazed with all the must buy items from souvenirs, foodies & traditional handicrafts. So here's some of the awesome photos taken that I wanna share with everyone.
