AIA Singapore SP Legacy District wants a different experience where they spent their little time to visit Bandung for holiday and also volunteering in local communities. They get to bless the underprivileged by a half-day activity in local orphanage. Although language was a barrier, with sign language and gesturing, they made all possible.

Location : Bali
Trip : March 2016
“For those who hasn’t been to Bali before, allow us to spread some love. Bali is totally an island like no other, and it has has been enchanting visitor for centuries. A combination of rich cultural traditions and spectacular panoramas, full of culture and yet so modern. The strong cultural identity of Bali is based on a combination of closely related elements such as the unique religion, the language, the castes, the community life, the land cultivation and the expression of its art. How about the food? There’s more than you can ever imagine. We guarantee you’ll have a tough time going on a diet to Bali.
And this group of young boys, they just fell under the irresistible spell of Bali the Paradise on Earth. They be sure to stay in the private Villa, stick around at the daybeds before few lazy laps on their own swimming pool or walk few metres to the beach. They also treat themselves to great food from the simply street food to sink into a sofa at the Rock Bar off the ocean to enjoy the tropical vibes and beats. And with just one day, it’s definitely not to miss to make sure pay a visit to Ubud, paddle trough its beautiful rice terraces, be more adventurous with white water rafting, shopping at the local art market and shops along Monkey Forest Road, and do a relaxing massage. – Photographed by Cedric Lim”

Trip : May 2012
“Here’s a series of photos taken in Jakarta for 16 hours before Desmond, Wee Yang and Bao Lin stash themselves away in a private island for their first ever Discovery Scuba Dive Trip. Three things that they love to experience in this Metropolitan City: The adventure, the humbling and the delicious. All they wanted were more local tours and variety of local foods.
With new friends, they had so much fun exploring the city with local bus and motorbike. They chatted all day talking about food and comparing each food they ordered. We noticed the three kept melting during their day tour to Bank Museum and Fatahillah Square. They CAN’T stand the heat, but they CAN stand the local hot food! Hey-ho! We couldn’t believe to find a fellow foodie as crazy as them. They got us amaze especially when the three happily clearing the super hot chilli for Bakso (Meat Ball Soup). Very cool!
Enjoy their series of Jakarta City Tour photos and apologise for some blurry because we struggled to hold the camera while we had so much laugh and shaking like how they shaking Jakarta. Hee! – Photographed by Desmond Cheng & Neo Wee Yang”

Rich in history and culture dates back to the eighteenth century, and its magnificent palaces, temples and shrines are testament to that.
