Christmas Trip in Prague - Hotel Rott

This is my first time I stay in Western country's hotel --RottHotel, located at the center of the city, quite convenient indeed.

Rott Hotel is one of the 4stars luxury hotel in Prague, with lovely external and interior design, especially its special elevator in the middle of the hotel lobby.

Hotel room is very tidy, simple but clean. One thing to mention there is no kettle in the room, and no preparation of mineral water. It was kind of strange, because usually hotels do have a kettle, plus some tea bags, coffee, and mineral water to the guests.As we had arrived at the hotel, but since my friends feel tired, would like to get some rest before going around, so I thought wanted to make myself a cup of noodles (cup noodle, which I brought from home). No kettle, what should we do? Then I went to the hotel's restaurant, and request some hot water from the waiter.  The waiter looks a bit puzzled, took a coffee cup fill in some hot water from the coffee machine.

Buffet breakfast was nice and various choices provided. The restaurant's decoration was nice and feel warm and happy to dining inside.

Great experience in staying in this hotel, and will stay in this hotel if going to Prague again.

Christmas Trip in Prague (1)

During the time in the UK, besides studying, occasionally I do like to travel and eating around with friends.   One year in December, I with three of my friends departing from the Newcastle, United Kingdom fly all the way to Prague. I feel very excited. My only impression to Prague was one of the Jolin's song: 布拉格廣場(Prague Square), and I was much looking forward to experience the "Prague square". 

Prague is the capital and largest city of Czech Republic, located at the center of Europe. It has about 10,28 million of population.

We wake up at 7am to prepare ourselves, and the plane took off at 9.45am. We reached there about 1 pm.

After some rest, we started walk around at nearby. Local residents are not fluent in English, so there will be a little difficult in communication. Fortunately we found many Asian tourists. However, in order to draw customers' attentions, some of the hotels, restaurants and specially those stalls and shops' staff speak some simple English and Chinese, I even heard someone greet me in Japanese! We had our dinner in the U Stare Pani Hotel restaurant.

As we had walk whole day, we feel a little thirsty, so we thought to order glasses of water. When the waiter heard it, he looked puzzled, and had double confirmed our orders. After a while, the waiter serve us glasses of water with a small plate under the it, one the plate there is two small bag of sugar. I was wondering, and smile.

Actually, I guess because of the cold weather, the local people drink wine to keep themselves warm, so they seldom drink plain water as us do.

Marudi – a beautiful town

Marudi is a riverine town located at the north of Sarawak and nearby the border of the country of Brunei. It took about 2 hour’s journey from Miri city to Marudi and about 21km from Miri city before the estate road way to Marudi city. Is kind of exploration and experience to have ride on estate road because of its uneven and narrow road, some may even not enough for 2 cars to pass by. It will be suffering as it took more than 1 hour to drive on this estate road to reach to the ferry point.

Estate road way to Marudi

There would be two ferry points where we need to across 2 rivers before reach the Marudi town.

Marudi has its own port where people taking speedboat as their transport. It also has its own airport where it just located very near to the residence.  Seems Marudi has all three kind of transportation in its town: Air, Water, and Land.
The first impression to me is that this little town, a place that is far from the city, giving me a warm feeling. There are lots of shops although all not opening during chinese new year and the road is clean and seems everything tidy and just furnished. It’s a kind of small but a wondeful place to live.
