Google Maps Saver

Ever experience that you are lost in town and people giving so many directions to your destinations??? I just found a tool that you might be interested.. Google Maps Saver.. You cannot find local map at the airport.. Not everybody have a GPS with them.. some people might have a phone with a GPS function.. but due to bad reception.. still no clue.. make it worst the local cannot speak english.. Lonely Planet might help.. but might attract the attention which I dont like..

Believe me.. I've lost once in Paris.. after getting out from the train station.. keep walking for one hour looking for the hotel.. asking people for the location.. at the end found the hotel .. just 5 minutes walk to the station.. we walk to the opposite direction!!!..


Thank God I found this utility to download the Google Maps and save it in JPEG format for offline viewing.. FYI Google Maps needs internet connection to function.. but with this utility.. no worry.. you can bring the digital format and view it later using your phone.. works best if you are using a phone with big display.. you can define the zoom level.. the file size is also reasonable..

Apple Muslim Holiday..

Since this entry is purely for Malaysian.. I think I will talk in malay.. if you need to ask something.. please do so..

Everytime MATTA Fair @ pwtc saya tak penah miss.. at lease a few hours le.. kat situ memang ada beratus2 travel agents.. pricing yg diorang offer kadang2 memang tempting.. but then from my past experiences.. jangan terlampau berkira dengan duit sangat.. yang paling murah tak tentu bagi service yg baik.. tapi yang mahal pun tak tentu bagi service terbaik.. but then normally you get what you pay.. dont expect bayar ciput tapi nak service lima bintang.. segalanya berbalik dengan keadaan poket kita.. kalau ada duit extra.. why not bayar extra untuk service..

but then this time saya nak promote Apple Muslim Holiday.. salah satu division @ Apple Vacations and Conventions Sdn Bhd. this company mmg ada satu division khas utk cater for muslim tourists. saya bukan promote sebab ada commission ke apa.. tapi sebagai happy customer..

tak dapat dinafikan yg harga yg ditawarkan memang agak mahal.. bukan mahal sikit.. boleh beza 3-4 digit jugak le dengan travel agent yg lain.. tapi perbezaan harga ada sebabnya.. package yg diorang offer normally akan menginap di hotel bertaraf 4* atau 5*.. dan lagi satu selagi boleh dia akan menggunakan Malaysia Airlines (MH). sendiri boleh calculate kenapa ada beza harga.. normally akan ada satu orang staff drpd apple yg akan join the trip as the tour leader utk make sure everything is OK.. so kalau anything wrong during the trip.. boleh hentam tour leader..

Tour leader will represent the company dan tour guide akan guide the tour group semasa trip.. 2 orang yg berbeza.. tour guide normally local people le.. Makanan so far memang tak penah ada masalah.. saya penah pegi Japan & Korea with Apple.. dia akan provide halal food @ Halal restaurant whenever possible.. kalau tidak.. vegetarian le.. cuba try dengan company lain.. diorang akan cuba jual halal package.. but then bila kita tanya betul2.. last rupanya dia bagi pork free..

One thing saya respect pasal tour dengan Apple dia akan observe waktu sembahyang.. masa trip ke jepun.. kitorang ada berenti tepi highway.. cam area R&R le.. semayang kat pavement je.. jangan expect ada surau plak..

Whenever possible saya akan try pegi dengan Apple tapi provided dengan harga yg reasonable..

Halal Restaurants

If you are a Muslim, definitely this website a must visit. Zabihah compiles a list of halal restaurant throughout the world. Maybe the place you are going is not listed, but you can update the list for the benefit of others. The list of restaurant together with the address PLUS the Google Map location and some review (if any) by other traveler.

Booking Paris Tour Online

At first I wonder how to book my tour online, after further clarification it seems that they are just tour reseller. We will buy the tour package from them but their business partner will conduct the tour.

Book my Paris tour through paris.conciergerie.com, I think their service is good compared to the time given. I booked a week before my arrival and when I arrived at the hotel.. walla.. the voucher already there waiting for me. As some tour e.g. Disneyland trip includes the entrance ticket and rail transportation, they need to send you the physical ticket and you have the option of picking the vouchers at predetermined place or just ask them to mail it to your hotel with additional fee.

Booking Eiffel Tower Ticket Online

It is highly recommended that you book your ticket to Eiffel Tower online before you arrive, otherwise you will regret when you see the queue.. a very LONG queue..

Don't forget to book the first available session as the later the time the longer queue.. this is not the queue to buy the ticket.. but the queue to the elevator going to the top of the tower.. otherwise you will be wasting your time queuing..

Payment is via credit card and don't forget to print the ticket.. looks something like this..
