Today's Straits Times carries an interview with Mr Anthony Chan, Managing Director of Chan Brother Travel. In the article, it is mentioned that Chan Brother will be growing its exotic and unique tourism package industry via its subsidary called Chan's World Holidays. I always enjoy travelling with Chan Brothers. In fact, the Europe tours I blogged about in this blog have been tours with Chan Brothers. Chan Brothers offer a very good experience for my wife and I as well as the rest of the tour group during our 2 weeks tour in Europe.
Finally, after the cable rides up the breathtaking scenery, my Dear and I, together with the rest of the tour group reached the top of Mount Titlis! When we stepped out of the cable car, we proceeded directly into a storey in Mount Titlis building. My Dear and I felt giddy. This was understandable as we were 3,000 m above sea level. We took the lift down to have our lunch at a restaurant. We gobbled up the large hot dogs (the largest we had ever eaten) and the spaghetti. After lunch, we felt giddy still but we proceeded to the top of the building to do what we were here in Switzerland for: that is right, to play with snow!
Shopping around in Hokkaido, Japan, you will find many memorabilia related to bears and foxes. Bears and foxes are the indigenous animals in Hokkaido and they still exist in the jungles of Hokkaido. The two animals have become the emblems of Hokkaido! The great brown bear of Hokkaido has spawned a number of memorabilia, with cups, T-shirts, keychains and more products ‘fronted’ by the animal itself. I believe Japanese and tourists alike have grown enamored of these two animals as they are always portrayed as cute in the many illustrations you see in the souvenir shops.
