Batau Caves, Malaysia

This was my first trip to Malayisa.  Around 20 kms from Capital Kualalumpur, Bata Caves is located.  It is very interesting place and there are lot of tourists visiting Batau.  There is a small temple located inside the caves for Hindu God Subramania.  On the side of the temple cave, there is another long cave called Dark Caves and here there are bats and others birds which are very rare species.  At the bottom of the caves there are many good Indian restaurants. Along with caves, tourists are attracted by lot of mokeys on the way to caves.  It just takes 5 to 10 minutes to go inside the caves climbing all the steps on the way.  Both bus and train service is available from KL to Batau.

Ching Park in July,2010

Last weekend (July,2010) we went to Chinguaosy park. They have made two new play areas for kids. It is just five minute walk from our house in Brampton. They have excellent garden place in the park. This is one of the place we visit regularly. Kids love to go and play in this park.

New York Trip

Last August we went to Connecticut to our cousin Manickam's house. From there New York is 1.5 hour drive. We went to Empire State Building, Twin tower site, Pillayar temple and Times Square. Since it was raining a lot, even after getting the tickets we could'nt go to Statue of Liberty. We were amazed by the New York fastness despite thunderstorm. But overall it was one of the most interesting trip.

Montreal Trip

Last summer (2009) we went to Montreal. First day we went to Old Montreal and the next day we went to St'Joseph's Oratory. Old Montreal was very beautiful and it was very good in night time. It made us to remember our Swiss trip in 2001. We all enjoyed the trip very much.

Hershey, Pennysylvania Trip

This trip was with our Washington trip. We stayed at my cousin Kannan's friend Mr.Salai's house at Centreville,Virginia. It took almost 2 hours to go Hershey from their house via Harrisburg. We went to the Choclate world and enjoyed our stay there. We tasted the choclates and also bought choclate cakes with different taste and choclate milk.

Boston trip

During our New York and Connecticut trip we also went to Boston. Boston is 1.5 half hour drive from Hartford, CT. It is one of the biggest cities in East Coast of US.

Chicago trip

During Winter break in 2009, we planned to go Chicago. It was actually 9 hour trip from Toronto, but took us more than 11 hours due to freezing rain and bad snow. Upto two hours from Chicago the weather was excellent. We went to Lord Balaji temple at Aurora,IL in the night and after getting the blessing of God Venkateswara had a good dinner at the temple. Then we went to Holiday Inn near the temple and stayed there for the night. The next day we visited the Chicago city.

Washington trip

We went to Washington this May,2010 for three days. We asked our cousin Manickam to come to Washington from Connecticut. He came with his 6 friends and met us. It was one of our memorable trips.

Pittsburg Museum

The children's museum is in the heart of the Pittsburgh city. Kids had great time playing in different sections. They had science, water, history and other areas of play.

Pittsburgh Trip

This is our first US trip. It was in Dec 2008, we suddently thought that we would go to US. We had many places in mind, but we want to go to a place very holy since this is our first visit to US. It was snowing a bit in Toronto, but we pulled our courage and started our two days trip to Pittsburgh Venkateswara temple. We started on Saturday noon and reached the temple around 6.30 pm going though Buffalo. We stayed in the temple the whole evening and later went to our hotel nearby. In the morning, Kalyani wanted to go to temple again as our hotel was very near to the temple. After praying Lord Venkateswara one more time we packed ourself with temple food which was really tasty. We went to see the Pittsburgh downtown and the children museum. On the way we were caught in bad traffic jam as there was some baseball game near the children's museum. After long wait we went to the museum and the kids had a great time. After staying for 3 to 4 hours we started back from Pittsburgh to Toronto. It was really a memorable trip as the weather was exceptionally good than we thought.
