URBAN SPOTLIGHT

Posted by An Asian Traveler On Aug - 17 - 2009

We suffered the heaving trains many times while we were in China, so to see a subway in Kaohsiung with few commuters and to always get an instant seat even during rush hours is truly a seventh heaven. READ THE ENTRY AND SEE MORE PHOTOS >>>

Boy! This is the most fetid food I've ever come across. We happened to pass by a small eatery along the street of Shilin Night Market that sells this exotic fare - the Stinky Tofu. Stinky Tofu (also known by its Chinese name, Chou Dofu), is a marinated and fermented tofu dish. see more photos ...

A BIZARRELY KNOWN TOILET THEMED RESTAURANT

Posted by An Asian Traveler - Notable Travel Experience

To some it may seem outrageous and bizarre but honestly my main reason why I wanted to visit Taipei, Taiwan was to dine at Modern Toilet. I read a couple of articles about this place, and decided we had to go check it out for ourselves. see more photos ...

THE CU CHI TUNNEL EXPERIENCE

SHOP 'TIL YOU DROP

Posted by An Asian Traveler On Friday, July 03, 2009
I was pretty worn out after spending a day at Ancol Dreamland. But the following day was the start of an unexpected shopping spree at FX mall. To our delightful surprise, these colored huge sale banners on the shop front door caught our eye, which prodded us to find out more about The Sports Warehouse.

You could just imagine our faces when we saw an assortment of discounted designer labeled sneakers that comes in different models and styles. They also carry apparels, bags and some sports equipment. Whoa! All of the products were reduced up to 50-70% off which made them difficult to resist.

Who won't be thrilled if you can buy goods for a fraction of the original prices? Strangely enough, even hb the most frugal man I've ever met (^o^) and being known for being half-hearted shopper was fascinated and excited over their sports shoes. We had a frantic happy shopping for more than an hour. The courteous staffs were very helpful as we perused the store, which made us feel welcome and comfortable. We got high top Converse, Puma, Reebok, Diadora and Mizuno. I had some favorite designs but I was a bit sad to discover they didn't come in my size.

here's what we purchased

Soon we came out of the store with big smile on our faces and multiple plastic bags hanging from our hands. I must say, that was one hell of a shopping spree. Without a doubt, The Sports Warehouse is a "shop 'til you drop" spot in Jakarta, Indonesia.
