Destination: International Institute for Rural Reconstruction-IIRR, Silang, Cavite, Philippines




It was a brand new experience for me cause, I have never been visited to a foreign country before, It was scary, nice and wonderful experience. I noticed, I have flied with two types of planes. Airbus and a Boeing type plane. Airbus was a really huge aircraft but Boeing was bit smaller compared to former. Even though I noticed its really really fast in speed! :)

Pics taken at SriLankan Airport: Bandaranaike International Airport




Note: Most Pics taken courtesy of my Galaxy-S2, <3 its 8MP camera, its really clear! atleast for me :)

FYI my Journey:

>> SriLanka, CMB   > Malaysia, Kuala Lampur > Philippines, Manila
<< Philippines, Manila > Malaysia, Kuala Lampur > SriLanka, CMB

Malaysia I was only limited to Duty Free Area, So actually I wasn't able to watch and expierence the country but I met people! :) They are Oriental type of people,Look like Chinese yeh! Most Girls looks really cute! haha!

@Kuala Lampur, Malaysia, KLIA Airport.
It was a really massive Airport, I predict its 10X times bigger than Bandaranayake Aiport!
