Let Me Start Off :-

1) You should start having threads about the POTENTIAL vacation spot in malaysia.

eg
i) Pulau Redang + Lang Tengah + Pulau Perhentian
ii) Pulau Langkawi
iii) Pulau Pinang
iv) Tioman
v) Mount Kinabalu

2) In the threads members and mods can post about the various things about the place. and you can also prepare some packages for the members to choose and thus they dont have to post irrelevant things.

3) Threads that should be pinned

i) how to get to KLIA cheapest ? (done)
ii) Currency Exchange
iii) travelling tips (done)
iv) Cybercafes

thats my 2 cts worth

Lang Tengah.. look at the rubbish..

er.. little suggestion here.. y dont u separate the vacation into some catagory..for me.. this treat is rea messy.. i cant find wat i realy wan here.. like.. maybe start from separate .. place in malaysia.. and place in others country would be nice .. ^.^

I'm having hard time finding the area I want. Once I posted a thread about Gold Coast Australia, and it was merge into Australia thread, end up no response or should I say less responsoe. Even if there are, it will be messy, as I need to read through entire thread to get the responses meant for my question etc

I would suggest we could have a subforum divided into continents/countries. The in this forum, we could have specific thread for specific state/places for that particular continents/countries.

E.g.

Lowyat.NET -> Lifestyle -> Travel & Living -> Australia -> Gold Coast
Lowyat.NET -> Lifestyle -> Travel & Living -> Australia -> Melbourne
Lowyat.NET -> Lifestyle -> Travel & Living -> Australia -> Great Ocean Road
Lowyat.NET -> Lifestyle -> Travel & Living -> Australia -> Sydney

try using the search key function to search for your desired thread. I've tried suggesting to the staff of this forum to create sub forums but the feedback i got was, creating a subforum will slow down the traffic here due to multiple clicking to get to the desired topics. Instead they've introduced tagging system so u can tag ur topic and filtering topics as u desired to see them (events, travel, food)

As stated above ^^ i did the merging, perhaps i should stop doing so much of it. next time u can stress in the first post that u do not wish ur topic to be merged so i won't merge them in any way The world is very big so it is tough to create so many sub forums for all the areas, As lowyat.net is not mainly a travel forum. But anyhow I will keep this things in mind, perhaps in near future we can do something about. thanks for the suggestions.

Hi, Perhaps categorize as Countries is pretty tedious, how bout by Continents? E.g.
Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. Then those general living & travel one will be at the main forum.

Just a suggestion though...

I'm surprised that nobody mentioned about the attitude of our taxi drivers in Malaysia.

They can just simply refuse to take you to the destination if it's not profitable for them - for example, traffic too congested/too far away, or charge you a very high rate for that (instead of using the meter).

And worse, the way they reject also seems rude, some of them just shake their head without even looking at your face, some of them don't bother you at all.

It leaves a very very bad impression to tourists actually.

I've tried suggesting it to the staff. Creating a sub sub forum for different continents will deter readers from browsing through so many different pages. I guess the tagging system will help for now

that's correct. i have myself experienced a lot of time. the driver normally refuses to take you to the place that unconvenient for him just by shaking head , or asking for stupid price ( 12rm from bkt bingtang to klcc, normally around 4rm ).
but the worst thing is there are lots of cheaters. i dont know what they heve done with the meter, but it runs like a horse and sometimes "jumps" directly .
however, after 4years living here, now i get used to it already , but definitely,its bring a very, very bad impression to foreigners.

Do never used motorcycle service in Pulau Pangkor from the 'ulat' in Lumut Jetty, you pay for Rm 25 for a day and the motorcycle is really bad and old, no oil when you get it, it's break also loose, "too many gegaran pada motor, helmet tiada tali, can see inside the helmet, hitam macam ader kulat", the best thing, even you used gear 1 in the "jalan berbukit", the motorcycle always die happily, and even someone that jogging in that area will past you, or maybe a monkey also? .. this apply to every motorcycle that park in front of Jetty Pangkor except from the resort one ..

Really upset when using it ...


You can have the good motorcycle from the resort or chalet you lived. Cheap and worth .. trust me ..

I have complain about the Swiss Garden Vacation Club. Since joint the SGVC at an platinuim member last year, we though we will have a privileage and will be easy get the hotel rooms when we want to have a holiday but it is not what we think. We unable to get any room at their own resort although we book it a month early. We submit booking for three rooms at their Kuantan Swiss Garden resort for the date 26 of May and check out on 27 of May, through their SGVC online booking on April 26. The SGVC replied that the allocated room are fully booked and when we called their customer services, they mention we may need to book the room six month in advance. I thought shit, what is point of joining their SVG club if I need to make a booking six month in advance. And when my sister (not a SGVC member) make a booking for a room at the same resort on 14 of May for the same day, 26 of May, she get the room. The SVGC only reserved a few room for SVGC member and although there are still room available, it is for public. We wrote a complain letter to them and there is no replied at all. Here I like to highligh to you that you don't have to become SGVC member (cost you around RM20K to RM30K) and you can still get the rooms at their resort.
Regret now.

Usually for timeshare / membership, you really do have to book way in advance. However, your 1 month leadtime is very reasonable already. From various complaints I read on SGIVC mostly are due to short leadtime bookings/ surchage issues, but I guess this case its really too much, considering you are staying at their hotel (not affiliate).

My advise to forummers also is be mindful when you want to engage in timeshare/memberships because most hotels will always have limited quota for "special price" rooms. The benefits are attractive but usually difficult to enjoy all, if not most of the benefits also.

Maybe cwwong can complain at their sales office instead of write-in, and request for some form of compensation.

Or sell the membership *ahem*

Thanks for you advice.
We contact the Sales guys (Manager) that sell us the SGVC and promise to look into ours complaint but until now he also have not call us yet. I think he also can't do anything and dare not call us back. We intend to send another nasty letter to their CEO directly.

---

Added on May 22, 2007, 6:21 pmUntil now there is still no respond from SGVC sale departement after send few email to them.
A letter together with all the complaint's email have been printed out send to their CEO by hand yesterday. Still waiting for their CEO respond.

I've tagged some of the threads in this forum.

Please make full use of the tag function so that food and travel threads can be easily distinguished, thanks

Hi everyone, I have also became a member of the SGIVC timeshare scheme in July.

Just wanna ask a question. I understand that we can sell our membership after 1 year joining, but is it just that simple?

P/S: I know that the rules and regulations are all in the agreement booklet, but I just find it too hard to understand.

This post has been edited by metsatsu: Sep 19 2007, 03:45 PM

not sure about selling... my mum joint the club. many had called her up to ask her if she wants to sell her entitlement, which is weird why is there so many request/demand for her to sell..

anyway i heard they are closing some of the operation office. just received and sms (from a 013 number) not yet call up and ask if it is a scam or what....

my experience in staying in swiss garden kuantan, they give you rooms that are not of the best quality.. garden view.. standard room.. so i feel there is nothing really great about that.. unless u travel extensively, no point joining a vacation club

Yah I have received the same sms on the 15/9/07. But if it's true, why are they closing some of the branches? does that mean that they are not profitting and have to close some branches in order to keep themselves alive?

Btw, how long has your mother joined the membership?

I will be paying for my 1st 2 instalments soon. After doing so, I may consider cancelling my membership if selling the membership is not viable. I would rather lose that deposit payment and the 2 months instalments than to lose out more in the future.

my mum joined the membership for almost 4 yrs i think...

@juichuan - when was that pic taken wor ?

Lolz.. 2006?? look at the time of the post

oi aunty, its 2008 la, Lang tengah damn clean liao since July 2007..... mebbe u were the early pioneers who went, but now is really clean .

great to hear that. i took that picture while trekking to the cliffs area. Its good that the island is clean now but perhaps my picture can serve a purpose of reminding people how it was back in 2006 and not to throw rubbish into the sea again

Just wanted to share my bad experience with a particular "popular" Tour Agency in Klang Valley - M*yf*ow*r

During the recent MAS Cheap Tickets fare held in KL Convention Center, I went and enquired on a US East Coast Trip for end-March. The person in charge told me in front of his boss and another co-worker the followings :

I) Tour Fare is RM 6288 (no taxes, tips... etc) - They allow me one week to make up my mind and maintain fare for me.
II) If I wanna extend my stay, no extra charge for the ticket changes
III) The tour is a confirmed and good to go tour.

I went a week later to book and suddenly learnt that only 8 people book the tour at that time and the tour is not a confirmed tour. my kakilang already 4 ppl. Need to wait till 2 weeks before departure to confirm that the tour can jalan.

Suddenly got a call from them saying that the fare they quoted me was wrong... was April's fare and not end-March.. They have to revise price to RM 6688 instead. I argued that the fare increment is unacceptable since they had already agreed in front of the boss to give me that fare. They promise to see what they can do.... then they submarine and no reply.

2 weeks before departure when time to make final payment they got some new clerk to phone me and say that the tour is cancelled. They offer alternate 2-to-go tour but when I ask specific questions regarding that package, they promise to come back to me but submarine again.

I finally got fedup and requested for refund. Yesterday when I drove all the way to collect the cheque, they got my name written wrongly... and now need another week to re-issue another cheque. Now I wonder how in the world can big companies get the cheque name wrong when they specifically took down my name in passport, booking receipt name was correct, and their payment voucher had like 4 - 5 people "check-approve" payment.

I can only conclude that :

I) They can promise you the sun, sky and moon and lowest fees AND guaranteed departure when all is actually BS
II) Staff nowadays don't know enough of the products that they are selling, and never get back to you even after promising to do so.
III) It's too common to drag payments using all the dirty little tricks in the book.
IV) If the service is already so BAD even without me following their tour... imagine the horror of horrors if I were to have actually gone through with the tour package.
V) They've managed to waste all my time with empty promises and dirty tricks.


Hope you guys will be more careful in the selection of tour agencies. We might pay a little more, but at least with no headaches.

usually travel agencies employ part timers (tour guides, freelancers, College students) to work in these fairs and it is possible that they give wrong information. But ethically if they are not sure they should consult the superior first. Like when i was working in Matta Fair, about 50 of us are part timers and 10 are full time staffs in the office.

This kinda situation shows that Malaysian travel agencies are not mature enough. plus government restriction for foreign own travel franchisers to enter malaysia, its hard to improve...

Yeah I forgot to add on point 2 that they also wanted me to pay RM 150 to change my departure dates from the original No-cost.

And the staff that served me were all perma-staff.

Which makes it unexcusable.

General Suggestion
Can someone create a thread on "Trip Schedule" and have this pinned?

I am not creating it since I am not active in traveling.

Actually I'm in midst of organizing a small trip to Langkawi (and more in future) and it would great if there are some trip schedules around for reference.

huyooooo

COMPLAIN against S*m*rai, Tr*vel and T*ur, dep*narikbeach@gmail.com from LOWYAT.NET/forum


I was looking for travel agency with the cheepest price and best offer to redang, after screening thru numerous offer online, i found other alternative that suits my need more. This S*m pmed me asking if his quote suits me and i replied that it is too expensive. Then he replied me that with RM340 + accomodation + transport. Which is a very good deal. He asked me to get back to him asap, i replied that i need to discuss with committee member first.



I asked a few question regarding the trip

then i immediately informed my committeee member and opened a meeting with them, at the same time declining other offer as well.

after talking to my committee, he told me this



I called him up immediately

he said that unless i am able to confirm how many are going, the price may vary, i agree. So i then confirm the amount of people tat is going (within 5 minutes), he they answered me somethign like this "i dunno la, the fuel price going up so, i dunno what to do la, can u tell me what to so?"

first i was very fed up, ur the travel agent and u do not know how to fix a problem u made. U offer me a price then he wanted to change it. He said that "maybe on the day u go u might have to add rm20 more for each"

i asked "even if i confirm now i have to add rm20 each? U have a problem with bus company u can always sign agreement on the quotation. U go and get a black and white then sign agreeing to the price since we book early"

then he said the same thing "i dunno la cyn, i dunno what to do now, how ar u say? cuz they say thery are going to increase the price"

actually i was very very unhappy, at that point either he dun understand me or he was not listening, i repeated what i said in MALAY (since he is a malay)

and he said the same thing "i dunno la cyn, i very confuse now"

i asked him to confirm with the bus company. I told him i will ONLY agree on the price you offer me. You should have confirmed and checked the price before offering people

this was his reply

he chased me, ask me to confirm, then change price, wanting to force me to use the package he is giving out, waste my time and money, then have the guts to ask me to ask him questions in the future if i have any

honestly....i hate him


i dunno my post if overrated or over reacted, but i wud like to inform others who deal with him to be careful...

my trip of 120 people until now because of him have to redo. Waste so much time and money!!!!!!!!

i concluded that
1) he is very irresponsible and unclear what he wanted to do, all he want is to nab the customer first, talk later
2) one moment he call, then reply LYN then gmail, halfway answering LYN reply gmail then lyn....

I wanna make a complain on the Hwajing Travel & Tour SDN BHD

I purchase 2 travel ticket from them that going to Bali,Bangkok and Shanghai for RM599 each(excluding air ticket)

When i get a call to the company and give them a date that when im going for the trip,the ladies told me that i need to add another RM110 for each person if going to Shanghai for the tour agent tips.Is that really have to pay?Somemore go to Bali and Bangkok is free and easy trip but need to pay another RM65 for each person and trip?Free and easy also need pay for it??Pls give some opinion,thanks.

This is Dtakenny promotion tour right? From earlier, I smell something fishy.

hahaha...that is true....

Solution is report to the staff about this company and the user. Maybe you can save another LYN from this incident.

hi all,

Anyone got ideas how to check reliability of a travel agency...

or anyone heard about this travel agency Priority Guest(M) Sdn Bhd.

recently i join their membership and get a Priority priviledge card at Giant Kelana Jaya
they said i can get 50% discount of all the hotel in malaysia.
and also can get promotion prices of air ticket.

it let me feel wired......
i just worry i get into travel scam because last time there are a lot of scam and very popular in malaysia....

these are timeshare/vacation club. not considered travel agency... unless u travel a lot, then it is worth it

You can check through MATTA membership or Malaysia Tourism Ministry ,then you get more information about this company.

anyone try golden holiday tour by MAS? i think its a lot better than taking tour from normal agencies since its their airlines and it's easy if got changes to be made.

me & family used to go holiday by golden holiday.

suggest to seperate out the travel or food to sub-forum, easily to people to search food thread or travel thread....tq

Hi all,

Ive joined this club couple of months ago. Recently I tried to book a vacation package by droping by to their office at Ampang(near Ampang POint area) but to my surprised, the office has no longer existed. Now it place was taken over by other travel agency company!!

I tried to call their hotline and also their sales rep agent but with no vail until now

If anyone has an information about the company's wherabout, please do post it here. As much as I hate to say this, I think this is another scam that I've been fooled with..and so with thousands other subscribers!!

Bump & title changed....For those kena scam by this company

their website here http://www.ituneclub2u.webs.com/

HOT-LINE:03 4253 1905/4253 1906/4253 1923

i try call few times also no answer.

i dam sked of timeshare stuffs man.

Timeshare@vacation club is not worth it, they may and will change the rules and regulations to their whims and fancies, so in the end we consumer will be at the losing end..

u join their membership but u sked kena con .... then join for wat ? your own fault u deal with it la.

ok they were in penang, tesco greenlane area an hour ago.
i suspected it is a scam so i decided against paying the full $399 but paid $60 booking fees so i can investigate it out 1st.

apparently my suspicions are true. i took a pic of the guy by the name of johan and took down his mobile number as well.

anyone know how to go about reporting this to the authority? $60 ain much but these guys arent getting away either

Maybe you can file your complaint here : http://e-aduan.kpdnhep.gov.my/intro.jsp?co...d=MASTER&lang=1

can share the details of the person

thin malay guy with short spiky hair.
he has no facial hair mustache/beard.
he wears a silver bracelet or bangle on his right hand and a watch on his left hand. he has a few other malay guys with him and 1 malay girl which wears a tudung. which i vaguely remember their appearances.

they can barely speak in english and only converse in malay language though.

Same goes with me and i've joined this membership last year. Lucky, i still have the sales rep number and i try to get her. FYI, Prority Guest has closed down their business and the business has been handover to ITune Management Sdn Bhd. I took their new contact number and maybe you can try to contact them. But i advise you to investigate first before you make any booking or transaction with them.

Hi all,

I went through a nightmare with this company last year in July 2008. Basically, I was fooled into signing up at Giant Ampang Point for the membership cost of RM399. As I thought that the offers were too good to be true, I did a quick check on the internet and found that Priority Guest Sdn Bhd had previously been known as My Ezy Vacation Sdn Bhd, a company which had been blacklisted by Kementerian Pelancongan Malaysia.

What I did next was to ask for refund, which wasnt given by the company on the basis that they hadnt done anything wrong. I disagreed, because I felt that I was the latest person to be scammed by the company, therefore I lodged a complaint to the NCCC(National Consumer Complaints Centre) - http://nccc.org.my/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1 and made a small court claim from the Tribunal for Consumer Claims Malaysia at the Legend Hotel, The Mall.

I then sent a letter to the company to inform them of a court date because they did not want to return my money. The reason I stated was that I felt I was scammed and there were many other complaints to the company on the internet.

When the date of the court case arrived, no one from the company attended. Therefore, the small claims court gave a mandate to the company to pay back the RM399 or to face further legal action. I sent this letter to them in person at Jalan Mamanda, Ampang and they duely sent out a cheque to refund the RM399 membership fee.

It was a very tidious process, but in the end I got my money back. The bigger issue is that the authorities are aware of them now, and therefore they have closed their office and have changed their name again.

I hope that more people will be aware of such scams in the future. If you have been unlucky enough to have been scammed, and would like to get your money back, then I suggest you to try the things I did, it may take some time and effort, but at least in the end you get the satisfaction of getting your money back as well and knowing that the company has been warned by the authorities.

Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera.

Aku pun ahli kad priority jugak.tapi xde apa masalah pun.Kalau korang nak tau skang ni priorty dah tutup dan kepada ahli ahli yang nak buat tempahan hotel ke aper.Korang boleh contact DHIA TRAVEL & TOURS compeny ni yang ambil alih perkhidmatan travel..Aku ada dapat surat dari priorty yang bagitau diorang dah tutup atas sebab sebab yang tak dinyatakan.Jadi kepada korang yang jadi ahli janganlah dok kondem travel agent orang melayu.banyak lagi compeni travel yang lain tipu sampai puluh ribu ringgit.macam time sharing hotel.tapi tak plak kuar dalam forum ni.yang dok call guna telefon pas2 cas kredit kad pun banyak jugak..jadi kepada ahli priority x kira melayu ka atau cina atau india..cuba lah pikir kalau dirang ni tipu xkan diaorang boleh ada terminal kad kredit.ko ingat senang ke nak aply terminal/mesin kad kredit kalau kompeni ko xdisahkan pendaftaran dan akaun..lagi satu nak bagitau kat korang..kalau ada apa apa nak tanya korang call DHIA TRAVEL & TOURS.dia boleh bagi ko penjelasan.Tel: +60342806389/4280 7389

Super Duper detected..wei Priority guest members dan Itune Management nak buat akaun palsu pun tunggula 2-3 hari..adoi bodohnya

Betul betul, kalau nak backing company tu pun, pakai la username nama orang sebenar ke, tak yah la nak pakai username Itune Management atau Priority Guest members. Kantoi sangat macam tu. haha.

Apapun, ini adalah syarikat yang sama. Nama je tukar kepada Itune Management. Sebelum ni Priority Guest Sdn Bhd. Sebelum tu My Ezy Vacation Sdn Bhd.

Kepada orang ramai, elaklah dari menyertai skim tidak berbaloi ini. Kalau nak bercuti, terus je telefon egen pelancongan, tak perlu ada skim berkad seperti yang ditawarkan oleh syarikat ni. Bukan diorang pun yang buat pakej, diorang ni macam orang tengah antara orang awan dengan egen pelancongan.

Lagipun, kalau sesebuah syarikat itu jujur dan memberi khidmat yang baik, kenapa perlu tukar nama setiap tahun? Ada ke syarikat seperti Petronas, Celcom. Maxis tukar nama tiap2 tahun?

My Ezy Vacation = Priority Guest = Itune Management. Orang sama, Nama lain. Jangan terpedaya.

Yeap LYN dupe detector confirmed 100% both are the same person...You are so on dupe detection

Korang pernah dengar ke nama compeny diats ni lebih kurang sama ker

ha ni ada lagi company yang macam tu,Slyways vacation,Platinum Discovery,ZoomMalysia card,Pintasan Travel.Kl City Card,SVC card.Pentium Discovery,Prestige Platinum,Leasure vacation.

haha bro the fellas dupe tactics are so lame,even my dead dog can detect it a mile away..

juz the other day,i was waiting at KLIA and this man coughed into the air continuously WITHOUT COVERING HIS MOUTH!!on closer inspection he was an airport staff.as i was sitting at the benches,he coughed then berulang-alik 1-2 meters in front of me while coughing and then plopped his ass on one of the seats behind the bench i was sitting at.and funny thing was that juz b4 arriving at this area,my family and i were asked to fill health declaration forms (H1N1 death toll increasing in Malaysia mah).
Wad is this?!!the gov should impose stricter controls on their staff b4 showing ''cuci tangan' adverts!

my RM399 just gone like that

memang banyak tipu pon.. lebih2 lagi bebudak marketingnya yang cite indah khabar dari rupe...

Guys,

I suspect Thread starter is another competing fraudster of this company:

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=904662&hl=

Try to avoid dealing wth this conmen...TS having others dupes as well i.e:

itune managament & priority guest members.

just to share with u guyz...this company is not a travel agent...they dont even have KKKP license...u can check with MATTA...they are selling discount card or privileged card...most of company like this will only give their promise but cant deliver...the no such thing u must be charge when doing the booking...

compare to timeshare company their package is more expensive...minimum also RMxxxx ...it will involve thousand of ringgit ...u pay for the membership to travel for next may be like 10 - 20yrs...which is really not work in Malaysia...then most of their sales person also cons their client...Tanco Vacation Club is most popular con-timeshare company last time:grumble: ...but not all timeshare company r bad...example like Berjaya Vacation Club

so...if u guys want to travel...my advise...u can book through reliable travel agent ...there is a lot in market like Asia Experience, Holiday Tours, Sime Darby Travel etc...but pls check the itinerary first if u take the package...or else plan ur own holiday by doing the research...more better ...at least can gain more knowledge...or else u can book direct with hotel via hotel web...

good luck...

Tnx for the input. But here in LYN, we teach ppl to 100% DIY..just buy the air ticket & DIY/ Backpacking urself ....More time & no need to be limited wth travel guide timing & notorious wasting of time at those gems store, silk factories & etc..

I also got kena last month at Tesco ampang by this company...how come a registered company do communications through public mails like gmail, hotmail etc??

Please advise how to get back my RM400

Yea agree...i will do research & study about the place that i'm going to visit...find the best price possible... especially overseas...then buy flight ticket...then fly baby fly...

Travelers to Europe

Do visit this website and be well aware of the precautions u must take to avoid of being rob, scam, etc

Really ridiculous price..

I'm fine with the chicken, vege and rice price but the

The whole plate costs me RM9.30 !!!

It's at ALamanda Putrajaya Food Court!!!!

Is this company for real or just another travel scam company?

I've checked their website and it is currently down for maintenance.

http://www.pantiumdiscovery.com/

Anybody have experience with this company?

i only know reliance and chan brothers

what with that? a scam also?

Another similar case here:

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/904662/+20?hl=pentium

But i thought this is a different company?

From what I've seen from the thread that you've posted, there are other companies that are using the name that is almost similar to the one that I've posted here.

Then another thing that I've found is these companies do not have to register with Matta or they did not apply?

Do you have any idea about this company?

No idea but those operating from malls, hypermarket using Tourism Malaysia but fronm diff co..same modus operandi...lotsa ppl kena b4

How can they be spreading like mushrooms after the rain and scamming ppl in the day light just like this

The Tourism Ministry take no action on them?

Well, susah mahu cakap...u check kopitiam & even LYN garages sales also daily got ppl kena tipu...Me too was a victime b4...water vending machine scam!!....Once authority wanna take action too late dy..the boss already run away...even those register under Tourism also scam ppl b4..remember the last yr matta fair, one co, suddenly gulung tikar & the bosss run away after the fair!!

Wow, water vending machine..The losses are even more. Lessons nowadays are too expensive to be learned. Sigh.

Business is hard to do also now because of this people.

Last time when i was in Rome....in front of the train station, a bunch of women carrying babies....look a bit like beggar...
few of them suddenly pulling my friends's hands and beg for money, and one of them reached her hand to his pouch
luckily a local man helped us, he yelled at them and scared them away

when i was in barcelona...climbing the stairs of the subway station, the old man in front of me suddenly stopped. I made an "emergency stop" too....then just within seconds, the little girl behind me took my purse.
Dunno how she did it...my sling bag was so full and messy , yet she can grab the purse in one try...

my father n his business partner went to rome also... those small gypsie kids try 2 steal his friend's wallet... d friend go and kick d kid so hard he fell on d ground rolling... lol

very common thing in Italy... rome is still ok... so southern part of Italy and its worst!
France isn't all that better, I had friends who got that laptop stolen on different trips in Paris.

dude...the no. that u sent to us is not from dhia travel and tours. infact, dhia travel and tours is not recognized by the ministry and matta. only "DHIA HOLIDAYS AND TOURS" exist. and even that, the phone no. hat u posted, is the same no. that itune management uses.

if u wanna con, then pandai2 la. dont post ur messages directly after that guys posted the itune management thinghy.

I am not surprised... my nasi campur cost me RM 10 for 2 vege and 1 meat or something like that.. once bitten twice shy.. i never go there again. if i do i will know what to expect..
