Heavy rain.
Slippery road.
Spinned twice.
Both time slamming the divider.

Kinokuni-Yeah!!

How long does it take for you to find and buy a book?

I know some people can spend hours in the bookstore. I like to just go straight to the point. (Coz i have the tendency to overspend!)

So, to save time, i like to do my research first. Google the book, get the ISBN number and then go to Kinokuniya's website.

Their searching method is rather comprehensive. You will be able to check the availibility of the book and location. It will also indicate how many copy is available at the specific outlet.

With few clicks, i found out the book i was looking for was available at KLCC.

You should know that the store is massive and looking for a book can be quite challenging. This self-serve machine is really useful.

Step 1: Select the type of book.

Step 2: key in the ISBN number.

Step 3: The machine will print out the exact location of your book.

Step 4: Find the aisle as per the number & map

Step 5: Go To the aisle

Step 6: Take your book and go to the counter to pay!

I was rather free, so i clock the time. In total, it took me 6 minutes to use the machine, locate the book and proceed with payment. Good huh?

Vietnam Retreat -Tuan Chau Island

Tuan Chau is an island of Ha Long city in Quang Ninh province. It is about 130 km distant from Hanoi city, which takes 2hours to go by cars.

I know the 2 hours may seem like a long trip, but honestly, it was worth it! You should spend a night there because there are just too many interesting places to visit.

Ha Long Bay is already a must-visit spot, and Tuan Chau is just another 20-mins drive.

Its an Island created for tourism, so, you can expect a non-stop entertainment there! Among things to check out are:

• Whales, seals, sea lions music performances.
• A circus
• A crocodile performance club,
• An artificial beach with over 4km length
• A Vietnamese culinary area
• A water recreation park including activities such as pulling parachutes by canoe, skating water by motors with high speed, etc.
• Services of visiting Ha Long bay by tourist ships, canoes.
• Services of visiting Ha Long bay by rotor aircrafts.
• A high tech water fountain with music playing, laser lighting, film showing on the water screen appearing the first time in Vietnam.

I spent the whole day visiting Ha Long Bay, so the only thing I could at night was to check out the fountain park. And it was magnificent!

It was a huge show equipped with the very best technology. I didn’t understand a single word said by the characters, but I understood the story line.

It was fantastic! If you are planning to visit Vietnam, make sure to include Tuan Chau Island in your trip! You will not regret.
