We're on a short 2D1N spontaneous holiday with my 2 little rascals. As usual, recording footsteps on the breastfeeding rooms we found. This time around is Central Festival at Hatyai.

Langkawi-Koh Lipe family trip 2014
Off we went for a short holiday again. This round we have 6 people, including my 82-year-old grandma and my little 21-month-old cheeky koala. It's another challenging trip having to travel with my grandma (Imagine boarding ferry and long-tail boat a few rounds with an 80+ senior citizen!! And yea we brought her out for the island hopping trip too~) but we've so used to running around everywhere with our oldest and youngest in the family, so it was considered a smooth one.
Most people would go through Pak Bara, but we prefer Langkawi. To save time and effort on booking separately, we threw the task to our regular use agent to settle it, in fact the price is almost the same but we just have to pack and go. And I only booked Langkawi hotels on my own.
*If you want to have the contact you may just PM me through my email.

Breakfast: Can easily find 7-Eleven/Lawson/Family Mart/Fresco everywhere, very convenient to get food. Hotels normally do not include breakfast. Per meal is about ¥700 (food + drinks)
Lunch and dinner: Noodles and rice from ¥500, drinks from ¥100 (may buy from vending machines)
Kyoto MUST-EAT: Soba and cold noodle are nice
Osaka MUST-EAT: Crabs, sashimi, takoyaki, ramen, all kinds of finger food (different choices depending on area you visit, can refer to http://www.osaka-info.jp/en/plan/images/Guidebook_English.pdf）
Japan family trip MUST-BRING items：
1. Camera + smart phone + charger
2. International adapter
3. Disposable rain coats/umbrella (can get from 7-Eleven or Family Mart), you need it especially in spring or summer where it rains more frequently
4. A light-weight baby stroller + baby carrier, experiences tell us MUST BRING BOTH!! You can carry the baby inside the baby carrier (totally go hands-free), and use the stroller as temporary shopping cart. Else your arms are going to suffer for the rest of the day...
5. Diaper and baby wipes (always spare extra 4 pieces by hand carry, just in case there is flight delay/luggage delay)
6. Additional clothes as spare (for both mom and baby, in case need to change due to unforeseen incidents)
7. Pacifier 2x (still have a spare if one gets dirty/lost) - your baby may need it during take off and landing - the air pressure is different, baby may feel uncomfortable and cry, the use of pacifier is to help the baby on adjusting to this change, it's the same concept like swallowing saliva, or you may breastfeed/bottle feed
8. Garbage bags (for dirty clothes/dirty diapers, or may use as a mat for baby during diaper changing in public toilets)
9. A few of baby's favorite toys, and one or two new items (you can distract them when they started to feel bored or crying)
11. Baby's bathing necessities: towel, bath foam (suggest to bring Lactacid, it is very mild and will not cause allergy), baby powder, nappy rash cream, baby oil, diaper change mat... The packing list is getting longer and longer right?
10. Thermos (you can refill hot water at the convenience stores)
12. Nursing ponco (a wise choice, can be used as jacket for mother, and to cover up baby in case of sudden weather change)
13. Don't forget about the baby bottles and milk/milk powder! I miss the days when I breastfeed, now that my girl is already on milk powder, I need to bring extra bottles and spare hot water
14. Money and credit card
15. Smart phone, to keep in touch with family and find information, you may rent a portable Wi-fi in Japan, and many big cities also provide Free Wi-fi
16. Baby backpack, just dump whatever necessary items into it (it's a skill how to pack light for a whole day long)
17. Baby snacks/finger food (sometimes you just couldn't get the right food for your baby outside, so it's good to spare their favorite food)
18. Medicine (basic spare for fever, flu, and diarrhea) just in case
Our suggestions are based on personal experience, for feeding it depends on the parents' acceptance, some parents will say NO totally to outside food, so you may bring along your own portable mini cooker. I've used that before in some trips, but my girl is the super adventurous type of baby, and definitely she'll give you the "Papa & Mama, I want exactly what you eat!" face when we go travel.
*My baby has been travelling with us since 4 months old, we've had 5 overseas trip and many domestic trips, and we've had all sorts of ride (plane, bus, boat, train), so everything I share here is solely base on our experience.

大阪必吃：大螃蟹、刺身、章鱼烧、拉面、各种小食（每个地方都有不同的选择，可以参考http://www.osaka-info.jp/en/plan/images/Guidebook_English.pdf）
去日本亲子游必备：
1. 相机 + 手机 + 相机充电器
2. International adapter
3. Disposable雨衣或雨伞（可以在7-11或Family Mart购买），特别是在春夏时期雨量较多
4. 轻便的baby stroller + baby carrier，个人经验觉得一定要带齐两样！！逛街购物用baby carrier的确比较方便，stroller车可以暂时放置逛街战利品，不然手都会断。。
5. 家里带来的纸尿片和baby wipes（extra4片hand carry，以应不时之需 - flight delay/luggage delay）
6. 每天出门spare多一套衣物（妈妈和bb也需要喔，若被屎尿弄脏可随时更换）
7. 奶嘴两个（肮脏了至少还有嘴spare）- 飞机起飞降落时由于气压不同，bb通常会耳痛而哭，吸奶嘴的用意其实就像大人吞口水，可以缓和气压对bb造成的不适；你也可以哺乳／瓶喂
8. 垃圾袋（装脏尿片和脏衣服，或在公共🚽换尿片时给bb铺着比较卫生）
9. 一两样bb平时最喜欢的玩具，和一样新的玩具（可以在飞机上bb哭闹时分散她的注意力）
11. bb的冲凉必备：毛巾、沐浴乳（建议带瓶Lactacid就可以了，决不会过敏）、爽身粉、nappy rash cream、如意油、diaper change mat。。。是不是越看越多东西需要pack呢？
10. 随身携带的热水壶（便利店可以refill）
12. Nursing ponco（很好用的，可以当妈妈的外套，天气转劣可以给宝宝暂时挡风遮雨）
13. 别忘了奶瓶和奶/奶粉！所以说哺乳可以省麻烦，现在宝贝喝奶粉了，出街还要准备热水
14. 钱和信用卡
15. Smart phone，以便随时可以上网查资料，日本可以租借Wi-fi，大城市很多地方有Free Wi-fi
16. Baby背包，把所有出门必须品统统丢进去（如何轻便pack背包是一门学问哦）
17. Baby snacks/finger food（有时候出门没有适当食物或宝宝不喜欢吃的时候，可暂时当一餐）
18. 药物（预备发烧、感冒和腹泻等等）
我们的practice是纯属个人经验之谈，喂食方面有可能某些父母不能接受，就可以自备食物或者自己携带迷你随身电煲。我也有用过，只是我家小姐现在一出门旅行就是一副“爸妈你在吃什么我也要!”的啦。。
*我家小姐4个月大已经跟着我们趴趴走，总共出国5次，本地游也无数次了；旅行时飞机、巴士、船、火车，我们都试过了，所以一切分享都纯粹是我的经验之谈哦。

*我家小姐4个月大已经跟着我们趴趴走，总共出国5次，本地游也无数次了；旅行时飞机、巴士、船、火车，我们都试过了，所以一切分享都纯粹是我的经验之谈哦。
Hopefully I will have more time to post on the places in details. Stay tune!

Bali weekend getaway with family (April 2014)
Since mom has left us to heaven weeks ago, I decided to pull my dad along for a short trip. And we're now in Bali.
Back to Bali after 4 years. Welcomed by flower garland.
My girl is in her toddlerhood now. A 15mo cheeky pie~
What is better than a bottle of chilled black tea + fried pork skin at Ubud?
Babi guling Ibu Oka! The juicy suckling pig.
Avocado shake is always my first choice in Bali.
Super trio at Jimbaran Bay for seafood.
**More updates in future hopefully... Motherhood and working life has taken all of my time and it's a super bonus that I still manage to update a bit in my blog.

台湾宝岛亲子游 - 如何选择航空航线
所谓好的开始就是成功的一半，所以如果旅行的开端已经是个烦人的开端，那么你就可能不会想要再度去亲子游了。
我们的第一次台湾游是搭亚航，原因是帮全家人买机票时我还没有怀孕（订票时大概有一年多前），所以没有法子只好add on infant。结果头痛来了。。。
头痛#1：
从槟城到台湾没有直飞，所以必须从槟城飞到吉隆坡，然后再转机到台北。要知道亚航的转机不是拍拍屁股拿个handcarry行李就行的那种，而是把所有行李都从机舱搬下，然后再check-in的那种，而且航厦里的工作人员态度又差，单单搬动行李和跑进跑出arrival/departure就要累死了，还差点给check-in counter的人气死。大热天气还没上到飞往台湾的机舱都已经满身大汗了。*累*
头痛#2：
航厦一点都不baby-friendly，虽然说在大马找不到decent的diaper changing room是很普遍的，但是起码机场也应该花点心思maintain一下，那个房间简直就像垃圾房，而且男性的外劳janitor整天进进出出（扫地倒垃圾需要这么多人这么frequent吗？？），真的很反感。虽说有隔开一个小的哺乳房，但是却不能锁的！而且他们随时会推开那扇门，而且不止一次，一点安全感都没有！Diaper changing table也很脏，感觉上好像很多很多细菌那样，所以要记得自己铺上自己带来的垃圾袋或changing mat垫底，不然bb的头不知道会不会生疮。
头痛#3：
Infant没有special priority！要bassinet吗？单程座位一趟加RM110。
Baby food？你就想啦！
Diaper on demand？发梦时再问空姐拿。
Priority check-in/seating？上机都乱七八糟没秩序，休想地勤人员会热心帮忙你。
空姐也很不专业，即将起飞了还要我提醒她们还没给我baby seat belt！
要泡奶/弄热母奶也需自备热水，向空姐讨也有脸色给你看。*气*
头痛#4：
Stroller寄机舱？是的，你可以用到上机前最后一分钟，但是请看看以下照片亚航是如何handle stroller的。。卫生指数0，而且我的stroller到达台北时已经脏兮兮了，在经过4趟来回之后，污渍都洗不起了~ 而且想想看，这么样不卫生，真的会对皮肤敏感的bb造成麻烦的。。
所以奉劝你如果带stroller搭亚航，要记得带便宜的umbrella stroller，还有自备塑胶袋把stroller套起来。*无奈*
我的stroller！！
头痛#5：
Infant什么都要$$$$!!
来个数学题。。。
Baby的亚航机票：
槟城-吉隆坡 单程RM50，来回RM100
吉隆坡-台北 单程RM125，来回RM250
吉隆坡-台北Bassinet需要拿hot seat 单程RM110，来回RM220
总数=RM570！！
而且我们还要分开坐，只有我一个人拿hot seat有什么意思，需要帮忙时旁边都没有人，所以我们决定不要bassinet了
总数=RM350
Baby的国泰航空机票：
槟城-香港（转机）-台北 单程RM218
高雄-香港（转机）-槟城 单程RM218
包括bassinet，baby meal，diaper，priority boarding（我们简直是VIP）
总数=RM436
而且是multiple city，去时台北，回时高雄，可以来个双城游。
亚航全程是这样过的（小叔偷拍的）。。。
将近5小时的手臂锻炼。。
国泰航空是这样过的。。。
看到差别了吗？登机大不同。。。
抱歉，亚航真的没几张照片可以po，登机时已经很累很匆忙，没mood也没空闲的手去抓相机了。11个人一起去也没一个真的有空也。。夸张吗？？就只有以下小叔拍的一千零一张咯。
亚航。登机于吉隆坡前往台北
这是两个月后我们夫妻俩自己带小妞再次飞台湾双城游的时候。只有我们两个大人带着bb也，但是远比之前的好至少10倍！一点也不手忙脚乱，而且还得到VIP对待。除了头等舱和商务座的客人，带着老人与小孩的乘客们都被放在第一位。
国泰航空。登机于槟城前往台北，转机于香港
香港转机中，两手空空放轻松
除了头等舱和商务舱的乘客，我们是最早登机的，还有‘礼物’送喔
高雄-香港-槟城转机中，online check-in时本来已经没有bassinet的座位了，带着bb走到柜台通知国泰航空地勤员，他们二话不说就马上把之前auto assign的座位换掉了，把可以安置bassinet的前排座位换给我俩！
你看后面有多少人在排着队呢？他们对老人与小孩（2岁以下婴儿）的对待真的超赞！
Check-in后，小妞正在享受她的机场欢乐时光 -- 看飞机起飞~
虽然在最后的45分钟转机时间突然要求换座位和bassinet，但是也可以做到喔，这就是professional！
后记：
亲子游就是应该舒舒服服开开心心的，所以必要时我们真的不介意花多些钱买好的服务，那叫物有所值。亚航那趟回程才叫噩梦，飞机延迟起飞了，结果到达吉隆坡时我们来不及再次check-in行李回槟城！抱着bb跑到上气不接下气到了柜台，他们说不受理了，因为domestic flight是AirAsia，delay的是AirAsia X！看清楚哦，是有个X字的。
地勤人员：“行李是上不了飞机的了，要登机请便，如果要投诉请到AirAsia X柜台，我们这里是AirAsia的柜台，你向我投诉没用的，谢谢。”
这么一搞不知是我们被害惨了，还有其他几个乘客要接驳回槟城的也遭殃。。。真的是@%@&#^%^!!!!!
一堆行李在地上，怎办？？如果不上飞机就损失惨重了，机票和行李都回报销，如果上机，就必须想办法把损失和麻烦减到最低。结果我们尽量把可以handcarry的都搬走上飞机，2个人留下收拾残局，搭巴士回去！！差点搬行李搬到吐白泡。。。天啊~~~~
我抱着bb跑到登机门口时向他们理论，结果还被当值的马来男性地勤人员非常大声地喊道：“If you want to board the plane you shut up, if you do not want to board you get out now!!”
这是什么态度！！？你老爸的家吗？？如果不是因为飞机要起飞了我一定port他！
TMD真的是越想越气，所以第二趟我们决定搭国泰航空了，反正真的只贵少许。不！应该说bb的价钱还更便宜，而且服务态度一流，这才配叫做服务业。
以上的一字一句都属实，是我们的真实经历，不知道其他人有没有类似的经验，但是我们搭了几次的亚航都是不好的经历，所以从此以后除非没选择（航线或时间不适合）我们都不会考虑亚航。
下一篇。。台湾的哺乳室。。哺乳的妈妈们应该很期待喔~
