viva italia!

Off topic but can't help it since Italy managed to be in FIFA World Cup Final tomorrow. Prediction:Italy 2 - 1 France :)
But hey last April I had a chance to travel to Rome, Italy for 3 days 2 nights. It was really not enough to see all the rome. a lot of things to see in here! but at least enough to cover the main ones :)
we arrived on friday afternoon at Fiumicino Airport and took a train to Termini. first impression when arrived at Termini was its quite a dirty place with all the rubbish loitering around & hardly see a dust bin anywhere. they are crazy drivers as well even though the roads are a bit narrow. not like in nederlands where bicycle is the main transportation, here is scooter beside metro & bus, you can see them everywhere, cilok sana sini and somehow italians hardly speak english. so its quite challenging.

Turtle Watching in Terengganu

Although I've lived 31 years in Malaysia, I've never had a chance to see the turtles lay eggs in Terengganu. The place to see it is Rantau Abang.

The warm grainy sands of Rantau Abang are thought to be the ideal nesting grounds for the giant Dermocheleys coriaca (leatherback turtles). Rantau Abang is one of the few leatherback nesting sites in the world. Turtle sanctuaries have been established in an effort to reverse the decline of leatherback turtles. Collection (except by licensed turtle egg collectors) or eating of turtle eggs are forbidden. In the Rantau Abang Visitors' Centre, a documentary on the turtle and its nesting habits is screened at regular intervals.

Rantau Abang, 56 km south of the state capital, Kuala Terengganu, on a stretch of beach 32 km long, giant leatherback turtles come back year after year. The egg laying process is carefully protected by local authorities now - until 40,000 baby turtles have found their wy back to the sea per year.
