Tech. Trek. Talk.

I know that most us wished to travel abroad at the lowest possible budget. Well, good news to those who have stretched budget like us! Cebu Pacific is offering the lowest fare for international flights almost every month. Okay, suppose you already had your plane ticket and your only concern is your pocket money and your accommodation. There are lots of things that you can do to get everything you want for a travel. You can find ways to lower down your transportation expenses to get a good accommodation, you can also try to lower down your accommodation expenses to buy everything you need within the travel period and you can also lower down the cost of your food to buy souvenir items. It all depends on how you manage your expenses.

In our case, if you have read my previous blog I was able to visit several places in Singapore with a very tight budget but I was able to get what I want to have and experience while I’m in the Lion City. You might get some idea from what we did just to… you know… “have it all” J First, we were very patient in waiting for Cebu Pacific promos, luckily we were able to booked our flight for only 4,100PHP. Amazing? Certainly! We don’t take a cab for our daily transport instead; we walk or ride a public bus as it would only cost us 1-1.80SGD. Also, don’t forget to bring your Map because if you will get lost you’ll surely double your expenses. It is also important to always bring your passport anywhere you go.

Second, we searched for hotels that would suit our budget. We found Cameron Hotel and we only spent 189SGD for 2 rooms per night. But if you would like to lower down your accommodation cost a bit more, you can look for Backpackers Inn as you can really save a lot!

Third, you can plan for your great and not so great mealJ In our case, we would plan as to where are we going to eat and how much are we going to spend for a single meal. You can eat at a fast food chain for breakfast, Lunch at an average restaurant and Dinner at some known hotels for experience sake J

Lastly, if you’re planning to buy some souvenir items, don’t forget to visit Bugis Junction (It’s like Aldevinco in Davao) because that is the place where you can buy things that are much cheaper compared to those that are displayed in shopping malls. Prices would range from 10 SGD to 150SGD and above.

Who would have thought that somebody would dare create one entire city on top of the mountains? I’m not just talking about an average city. I’m talking about a very sophisticated, organized, luxurious and an incredibly entertaining city. Whew! I’m talking about Genting Highlands. It is the most amazing city I’ve ever seen in my entire life as I’ve never been out of our beloved country since birth J

Genting Highlands was positioned on top of the mountains in Malaysia, however going there is not difficult but in fact convenient. You can book your trip at KL Sentral as they have their booking office at the right side corner just after you enter on their huge main gateway. They will let you choose several packages that would suit your budget and purpose. In our case, we avail the package that comprises entrance fee, bus transfers and of course the long been desired cable car! From KL Sentral, you will be transported to Genting Bus station and for you to be able to reach Genting Highlands far way up into the mountains; you need to ride on cable cars for a span of 15 minutes.

I never researched about the place, so when I get there! Shoot! I was so amazed about how they were able to plant tall and huge commercial buildings and hotels, bars and entertainment showground on top of the mountains. Yes, you got it right… you can have all you need within that one unique city. Genting Highlands is perfect for couples, families and even group outings as they have nice hotels, movie houses, rides, casino, theme parks, boutiques and restaurants. Inside the showground you would find several landmarks all over the world like Eiffel Tower, Reply’s believe it or not Studio, Statue of Liberty and a whole lot more! They also have magicians and other theatrical artist performing almost every hour. And here’s more! Genting Higlands has a unique temperature; it has a cold breeze while the sun is up and simmering J

If you’re planning to visit Malaysia, don’t just ignore Genting Highlands because you can really expect of total fun and excitement at a very affordable rates. Good value for your money is guaranteed!
