23 years, two months, 5 days ago ( 1503nineteeneightynine ), a cute baby girl was born in Hospital Besar Kota Bharu, Kelantan, at 4.15pm on Wednesday.

The baby was born in healthy condition and a few days later both baby and mother was taken home safely by a father who is still young and strong.

This is the fourth children for En. Hj. Yunus binYusuf and Pn. Hjh. Mek Nga binti Mamat.

Then, the baby girl was given a lovely name. Norliawana Yunus. That is me.

I grew up in moderate and happy life with my parents and three siblings. My parents provided me a better education since i was a young girl in order to be a good person in future. When we was a children, 'what is your ambition' is a normal questions that will come to our ear. In school, when teachers ask me 'what is your ambition' , my answer is 'my ambition is...' i stuck. Because my ambition keep changing, i don't know which ambition i want to choose and i don't know why. For now, since i already grew up and able to think, my ambition is, i want to be a teacher. Reason is, my student will remember me for the rest of life as their teacher.

After my primary and secondary school, now, i'm studying in Universiti Malaysia Kelantan majoring in Health Entrepreneurship (A09A125), Faculty of Entreprenuership and Business. This blog is my individual assignment under subject Travel and Tours Management ( ATS 3053 ), semester 6 year 3.

Thank you very much to my lecturer, Miss Raja Norliana for giving this such of assignment and guidances. This blog is for you. Before this, i never involve in this such social thing and this is my first blog. Now, after doing and finishing my assignment, i made my learning even a little about this blog. Besides that, towards this assignment i made to know about the destination and beautiful places in the world that i never know that it exist before.

It is quite simple and easy to manage the blog but not all of the functions are my expertise yet. Maybe after this i will try to proceed my another blog to make me better understanding.

This blog is my outcome but it is not perfectly from my idea and i hope the deficiency and mistake can be consider.

Thank you.

01. Koh Rong, Cambodia

Koh Rong Island is the biggest Cambodian resort island off the coast of SihanoukVille. The Island is a great place to relax or to explore because the island is still almost deserted, undeveloped and natural treat. The trip to Koh Rong takes two or more hours from the mainland, in Silhanoukville, Cambodia.

The island is certainly the most beautiful island of the Sihanouk Ville region. A snowdrift bay, covered by a crystal clear and turquoise water, stretches on several kilometers. At the center, a jungle with thousands of coconut palms and waterfalls invade the island. Paradise found on Koh Rong.

There are several smaller islands surrounding Koh Rong, and tourist can visit them in a quick boat trip. Scuba diving, snorkeling, swimming, exploring, and fishing covers most of the activities available on the island.

02. Niah Great Caves, Malaysia

Gua Niah National Park, Sarawak is the lrgest limestone caves in the world. although it is one of the sarawak's smallest national park, it is certainly one of the most important and unusual atrractions to visitors. what is most interesting about Niah is that one of the main claims to fame is the birthplace of civilization in the region. the oldest modern human remains in Southeast Asia along with many others relics of prehistoric man were discovered about 40 000 years ago. it making the park one of the most important archeological sites in the world.

the park has a size of 3 140 hectares of forest and limestone karts area. it was first gazetted as a National Historic Monument in 1958 and on 23 November 1974 was gazetted as National Park and open to public on 1 January 1975.
like other caves in Sarawak, it has extremely bug chambers and passages. the cave systems has eight entrances. the west entrance also called west mouth, is one of the world's most spectacular cave entrance with over 60m high and 250m wide, leading to an even larger chamber within. proceeding into the cave, the sound of disembodied voices mingled with the squeaking of millions of bats and swiftlets to create an eerie atmosphere. the voices belong to the guano (bird and bat excrement) covering the cave floor. the guano is then carried in sacks to the sungai niah, where it is graded and sold as fertilizer.

03. Salar of Uyuni, Bolivia

Salar de Uyuni is the world's largest salt flat at 10,582 square kilometers (4,086 sq mi). It is located in the Potosi and Oruro departments in southwest Bolivia near the crest of the Andes.
In Bolivia, the must visited place is the Salar de Uyuni. It will be unlike anything that have ever seen.
It is covered by a few meters of salt crust, which has an extraordinary flatness with the average altitude variations within one meter over the entire area of the Salar.
The salt is over 10 meters thick in the center. In the dry season, the salt planes are a completely flat expanse of dry salt, but in the wet season, it is covered with a thin sheet of water that is still drivable. The Salar of Uyuni is estimated to contain 10 billion tons of salt of which less than 25.000 tons is extracted annually.
Every November, the Salar of Uyuni is the breeding grounds for three species of pink South American flamingos like the chilean, andean and rare james's flamingo. Their color their color presumably originating from feeding on pink algae. There are about 80 of other bird species present, including the hoorned coot, the andean goose and the andean hilstar.

There are also a few places surrounding the salar of Uyuni that promising an excitement such as Colorful Lakes  Laguna Colorada, Tupiza, Valles de Rocas, isla Incahuasi.

in the rainy/wet season is roughly from January to April (subject to change). During this period parts of the Salar may be covered with water. It's still possible to do the trip, to visit the Salar and the beautiful lagoons, the highlights of the trip for most people. However with water on the Salar tourist cannot cross it for hours like in the dry season and generally cannot get to Isla Incahuasi/Fish Island.

A salt hotel in salar of Uyuni also the atrraction to tourist.

04. The Nabatean city of Petra, Jordan

The ancient Nabataean city of Petra was recently voted as the seventh wonder of the ancient world. Is a historical and archeological city in Jordan. Established sometime around the 6th century BC as the capital city of the Nabateans, it is a symbol of Jordan as well as its most visited tourist attraction. It lies on slope of Mount Hor in Basin  among the mountains which form the eastern flank of Arabah (Wadi Araba), the large valley running from the dead sea to the gulf of aqaba. Petra has been a UNESCO world heritage since 1985.

It was complete with several temples, a festival theater, a nymphaeum, a bathhouse, a sacred way, a monument gate, many pools, and several other public buildings. The temples and other public buildings occupied the central valley, where the royal tombs were situated.

Along with this, the people who maintained Petra had to live there. This included priests, sculptors, grave diggers, temple attendants, administrative staff for the many public buildings, merchants who sold temple and burial paraphernalia, and other support people who ran services that provided things like food and water. If there was a royal court in Petra, then this would have entailed another whole group of people. These people alone may have numbered several thousand, along with their spouses and families.

There are also over one thousand burial monuments in Petra and several hundred others in the other burial cities. Most of these were for family and tribal units. Thus the tombs could have contained tens of thousands of people. Added to this, there are extensive Nabataean graveyards located near Petra and the other cities where the more common people were buried. This adds up to a lot of graves.The Nabataeans wealthy were mostly buried in five Nabataean burial cities.
From the inscriptions, it can see that the tombs were made by Nabataean sculptors and not by imported slaves or laborers.

05. The Giants' Causeway, Northern Ireland

The Giant's Causeway lies at the foot of the basalt cliffs along the sea coast on the edge of the Antrim plateau in Northern Ireland. The volcanic activity 60 million years ago led to the formation of the 38,000 basalt columns that make up the Giant's Causeway. Lava welling up through fissures in the chalk bed formed a "lava plateau". Three periods of volcanic activity gave rise to the Lower, Middle and Upper Basalts, and it's the Middle Basalt rock which forms the famous amphitheaters of hexagonal columns in the Causeway, built the hexagonal stones in shape, the stones stretch far out into sea and some stand as tall as 36ft (12m).
The site plays a major part of Ireland’s heritage, attracting visitors from around the world each year since it was first documented in 1693 and realistic sketches were published in 1740. The Giant’s Causeway has often been described as the Eighth Wonder of the World and was declared as Ireland’s first World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1986.
The most characteristic and unique feature of the site is the exposure of a large number of regular polygonal columns of basalt in perfect horizontal sections forming a pavement.
Besides that, the sea birds can be seen off the coast around
the Causeway, with species such as fulmar, petrel, cormorant,
shag, redshank guillemot and razorbill being frequently observed by tourists. Also a rare and unusual plant species including sea spleenwort, hare's foot trefoil, vernal squill, sea fescue and frog orchid can be found on the cliffs and nearby rock formations.
Visitor facilities for The Giant's Causeway include a shop providing refreshments and souvenirs. Guided tours of the Causeway are available by arrangement for groups of more than 15 people, and there is access for visitors with disability. The area is suitable for picnics, cliff and country walks, and dogs are welcome on leads

06. The Perito Moreno glacier, Argentina

The Perito Moreno Glacier is one of the most important tourist attractions in the Argentine Patagonia.
An ice cloak, or glacial cap, covers this Protected Area of 600,000 hectares. Among the 356 glaciers, the Perito Moreno is the most outstanding one, having a front of 5 km long and a height of over 60 meters above the level of the water.

Already known worldwide because of its process of fractures, the front of the glacier closes the running of the waters of Brazo Rico when it approaches the coast. This produces a kind of pond where the water goes up 20 meters over the level, creating the filtration that ends up in the fracture.
Every year, thousands of tourists flock to Argentina's Perito Moreno glacier for majestic views of frozen H2O (water). Around 2,500 tourists watched and cheered as the 97 square miles glacier is splintered and ice crashed down. Perito Moreno is one of three glaciers in Patagonia that is growing. As the 230-foot-high body of ice moves forward, it cuts off a river feeding the lake.

Water then builds up pressure and slowly undermines the ice, forming a tunnel until eventually the ice forming the arc becomes so unstable it comes tumbling down. The latest collapse occurred on March 4 after several large chunks of ice broke away from the glacier.
Tourists who were visiting the attraction from the nearby city of El Calafate, witnessed whole sections of the glacier sink into the sea, with many onlookers cheering and whistling at the phenomenon. The glacier, which is located in Los Glaciares National Park, was recently a candidate to be named one of the seven natural wonders of the world, but lost out in the final voting stages.
