Places I want to visit before I kick the bucket

Looking at many fascinating places people visit knocks my head clearly on what I want to put in my 2012 Resolution list, one of it will be to visit different countries every year..Insyaallah. Definitely I would like to visit Europe up to South Africa. The safaris are damn cool over there. I've been to Thailand, New South Wales (Australia), Colombo(Sri Lanka) and India. My favourite will definitely Sri Lanka. The people are friendly and food are simply delicious. Their fine dining cuisine are absolute finger licking good. They have many old buildings. Similarly to Penang Heritage Sites. They don't really have big shopping malls. The biggest that they have will beas big as...let me see....eermmm..Balai Polis in Penang Road maybe?. They're famous with hotels and cotton products. And their poverty level are not as bad as India.

We visited Colombo Independence Hall in conjunction with the 1st year anniversary of tsunami tragedy. We lit candles around the hall with the rest and sat there for about an hour. It was a sad moment. Some of them brought their family members who were the victim of the tsunami. It was devastating. We even visited tsunami affected area along the coast line of Bentota, Hikkaduwa, Galle, Matara and Hambantota, . It was about 2 1/2 hours journey from Colombo. We went there for just a day trip. You can view the map here. After the incident, houses are to build 1KM away from the coastline. The place are not fully recovered up till today. It will definitely take some time.

It was 1 day before my birthday, so daddy bought 26 baby turtles from a guy whose turtle sanctuary was swept away by the tsunami including his 2 albino turtle (he found only 1 of them). Coincidently, he'll be releasing the baby turtles into the sea once it is hatch, so 26 among hundreds of the turtles that he'll be releasing will be mine. We could not witness the amazing journey of these babies as we did not spend a night in that area (I can't remember what was the name). It was a good experience to actually be grateful what we have here in Malaysia.
