If you ever watch the TV series Survivor, will know where Palau is located. It’s not known for Palau compared to other island nations like the Maldives, Tahiti or Fiji. But, Palau remains a tourist destination is very beautiful and worth a visit. Most tourist who visited Palau are divers because this place is the Paradise for Diving Freaks!

New York city, for me its has own magnet. The long history of the early occupation of the Indian tribes in the valley of the Hudson River, the flow of immigrant from all over the world, Ireland, Italy, Germany. Then the imperialists occupied the Netherlands, followed by England until 1776 to free themselves without the assistance of France. New York is also a symbol modernity, the capital of capitalism in this world. City that experienced the tragedy of financial and human tragedy, which left a deep scratch wounds in the historical record.
Maybe movies like ‘Gang of New York’ or ‘Sex and the City’ is the inspiration for exploring the Big Apple. But for me it comes from the character of Batman.

Newer collections of international brands to appear first in Hong Kong Fashion Week, and then extended to other areas in Asia. What is hot in Indonesia this week, may have enjoyed the people in Hong Kong three weeks ago.
I did not diligently follow fashion trends. For business spending, the only Hong Kong’s attraction for me was the H & M, the department store is selling shirts with a good quality men relatively affordable price. This store has not opened branches in Singapore and Indonesia, although some of the goods labeled “made in Indonesia”. This is the consequence of the free market sucks, I have to cross the ocean as far as 3200 miles to buy a shirt that may be made of mothers neighbor’s house. Read the rest of this entry »
