Wonder why no one start the travel discussion, thought Malaysian like to travel, that include you and me...Cuti Cuti Malaysia
If travel need to link to Watch, then I share my experience back in 5-6 yrs ago, where I lost my Oris watch in the train travel from Beijing to Harbin, it is an overnight train, mean you sleep over night in the train, somehow the next day I woke up, my watch was missing together with my wedding ring :Scolding:...you know hard to explain to wife about the ring missing... luckily missing with my Oris, so she was kind of holding back her anger :Laughing_on_floor:..
After that experience, now when I travel, I wear normal watch, at least if stolen or missing, not so "heart pain"
Now that I am writing this story, :Scolding: my beloved Oris TT1 :Mad:
-
sad to hear this....
wearing what watch depends on journey...
i never hv bad experience wearing gd watches so far... touch wood!!!!
-
Especially for countries like China, Indo-China..I am now more caution of what to wear, even the mobile phone, I change to MPK...just dont feel safe. The only things I keep real safe to me whenever I go are my passport and wallet :laugh:...
The sad part is my wedding ring...that is priceless :Mad:...
-
Maybe just have to avoid bad spots.
I've been to Jakarta, Manila, Clark (men's heaven!!) Bangkok, Pattaya, Hong Kong, Macau and I feel mostly safe.
-
They took your watch and ring while u are sleeping and you don't feel anything? hmmmm...
-
Yup, didn't notice at all until I woke up, notify the train attendant and nothing much can be done since the train stop at few cities along the journey, so I reported the case to police, and I wasn't the only one, it happens very often. So, lesson learn, need to put all the valuable items in the lock luggage, and don't wear anything while sleeping.
Actually if you travel to these countries with bunch of people, it is quite safe, the only problem is when you take the public transport alone or go to public area alone, then chances are high.

Bro, just wonder how you can access this forum in China?? cause I can't access at all, can only see the header, let me know any tricks???
-
Hi... I have no problem accessing MWF from China. The site that is blocked in China are Facebook, network54 (Peneristi forum), youtube, twitter, etc. Maybe you got yourself a slow connection?
Anyway, where are u now?
-
There is one trick to access those blocked sites but it will be very slow.... :)

i lost camera, watch, and money in China,
every trip to china sure lost something one.
i think actually there are many many nice places in China and i love it but,
i really affraid of the ppl there,
i understand that a lot of them are really poor, goverment should do something to help the poor ppl...? no idea how to improve it, im not that wise to give comment.
just that, i cant really enjoy hanging in china,
always worried to meet bad ppls who looks decent but actually trying to cheat for something =.='''
and btw, i LOVE traveling!!! just came back from Italy and got my new Bvlgari watches.
a lot of my friends keep telling me that im stupid to spend so much on bvlgari watches but,
i dont know, forget about the value, resell value, i just love the design. it looks much better then Rolex (no offenc okay)
feel so good by just looking at it, its so beautiful.... ~.~
-
How did you loose your stuff in China? Stolen or?
watches....how many did you buy from Italy? hehe....
Well all that matters is you like the design and brand, no one can tell you how to spend your hard earned mullah.

Sorry, my mistake, I thought you are a guy, BTW, Welcome Sis
That is why I wear the cheap watch, MTK phone for my china trip, learn from the lesson, but still need to carry the real cash and passport, and still need to be caution :Laughing_on_floor:

I just came back from Paris, Italy and Switzerland... Italy is notorious for the pickpockets. When travelling, no place is safe cause we sure look like tourist. Just be 100% alert and careful.
I'm disappointed with Italy.... never expected it! It's much worse than China, really!
Switzerland? True paradise, friendly people everywhere, beautiful scenery and unbelievable clean!
-
yeap... i agreed switzerland still the best place to visit....
ppl is so friendly.... and the view is killing me....
i can access to facebook from pudong, shang hai during my trip there around april2011.... (maybe the shangri la hotel host it in hk?)
but not other places....

One advice on travelling....
One of the worst thing to be invented is the waist pouch! You wear it for holiday, guarantee 99% your valuables in it will be stolen. Met someone during my trip back from Italy and she relate her story how all the 3 people (Taiwanese) she met wearing a waist pouch had their passports and valuables stolen.

Hmmm.... maybe, but I normally use Advanced Onion Router (Tor) to bypass the filtering.
