Travelling Heals Your Soul

The Tarot cafe, Jalan Keretapi, Kuching

-->

The first TAROT Cafe in Kuching is located at Jalan Keretapi, just opposite The Bing. The Tarot Cafe is one of the favourite chill out place by not only youngsters, but also middle aged and senior citizens as well.

It serves rather unique drinks, with their special name of course. Below are some photos taken during my lunch time few days ago.

Iced blended Green Tea, with Kiwi fruit and cream, I think this is called 'The World'.

Iced Lemon Tea.

Salmon K.Rice, cost me RM12.90.

Surimi Balls, RM4.00

I think this is Chukka Idako, couldn't really remember the name.

Undoubtedly, The Tarot cafe serves one of the best drinks in Kuching, and I will continue to support them. However, I don't really like their food, properly due to my selective tongue.

Having said that, the Tarot cafe is a great place to chill out for a drink or two with your friends or your loved one. :)

Alcoholic Beverages from Korea

One thing I can tell, Korean beer is superb! Not only it is cheap, the taste and the feel is so smooth that you can easily drink few cans without knowing it. I tried various beer every night while I was in Korea, yes, I mean EVERY NIGHT! It is easily accessible via any 24 hour convenient store. On top of that, it was winter time during my trip, so imagine hiding yourself in the blanket with your television on, and you lie down, enjoying sips of a cold Korea beer.

IT IS JUST UNFORGETTABLE!

This is my favourite beer. Cass Beer with Lemon flavour.

Max Beer, can't really remember the taste, but having said that, it is a good beer.

Cass Beer, Fresh and Original taste.

This is the classic 'ShioJiu' that we commonly see in the Korean Drama series. The taste is ... quite horrible, alcohol content of about 21%.

All the beer I mentioned above cost about 1500won(couldn't recall the exact price, but its roughly there), or about RM3-5 per can. As for 'ShioJiu', it cost only 1150 won, which is about RM3.00+.

Marina Hotel, Jeju Island, Korea

Upon arrival at Incheon Airport, we were sent to Gimbo Airport by our tour bus, and then board another flight, Jeju Air to Jeju Island. After approximate 55 minutes flight, we were then in Jeju. For another 10 minutes in the bus, we reached our hotel, Marina Hotel.

Relatively a small room for 2 person.

Small room, with small television too, probably a 32 inch LED television.

Stayed here for 2 nights, though the room was small, however, it was quite comfortable and clean. Breakfast provided, however with limited choices. Two desktop with Internet connection available at lobby. High speed WiFi also available, however only at hotel lobby. It would be good if the management can upgrade the WiFi.

This hotel is in fact at a very good location, with multiple convenient store around(less than 2 minutes walk). For about 10 minutes walk, one can reach the busy street(not too sure the name), with all kinds of shops, such as restaurants, hotel, clothing shop, massage, spa etc.

Oak Valley Resort, Korea

Below are photos of a hotel in Korea, Oak Valley Hotel, which I stayed for a night for the skiing session.

One king size bed.

Excellent dining room condition, spent my cool winter night by drinking cold beer while watching Korean movie.

40 inch LED television.

This hotel comes with 2 toilets, thus allowing 2 different person to do their 'business' at the same time.

One drawback of this hotel is no WiFi service provided. even at the hotel lobby. This resort provides huge breakfast variety selection. Overall, it was a pleasant and wonderful hotel to stay in.

HANWHA Resorts, Korea

This is a great resort! Though I had only a night at HANWHA Resorts, it truly impressed us with their astonishing room, high speed WiFi, wide variety of breakfast selection etc. The hotel has a mini supermarket right at the basement, Fresco, selling stuff like fresh vegetables, drinks, instant noodles, junk food and many more.

Awaiting check in at the lobby of HANWHA Resorts.

(Empty room, this is ideal for those who likes to experience sleeping on the floor, 'tatami' style, bed, pillows are stored in the cupboard.

Instead of calling it a hotel room, it acts more like an apartment. It has 2 rooms, a dining room, a kitchen, a toilet and a bathroom. Thus, this room can in fact accommodate at least 4 adults.
