My Bubble: Extended Travel Plan ...

After lo kong called a shortwhile ago, I just realized that we will be flying to Penang this weekend for a short break while lo kong gets to indulge in his favorite pastime ... running a marathon. Yup this weekend is the Penang Bridge International Marathon.

We would have been flying into Bangkok had the Standard Chartered Bangkok Marathon not been flooded out by the prevailing floods there. It's a bit of a damper since it's been several years since I last visited Bangkok. Anyway, it'll still be there next year same time!  Alternatively Penang still makes a great short getaway for a foodie marathon ... asam laksa, char-koay-teow, ice-kacang, nasi kandar, sotong panggang ... oooooo yum yum!!!

While updating myself on our travel plans, it looks like Penang will be kicking off our travelling again that will continue right into the middle of 2012. Here's where I'll be heading soon after Penang:

3 December 2011 - Singapore
29 December 2011 - Taipei & Kaohsiung, Taiwan
3 February 2012 - Hong Kong
23 February 2012 - Tokyo, Japan
10 March 2012 - Singapore ... again
12 April 2012 - Paris/London/Zurich
10 June 2012 - Phuket, Thailand
