Sunrise?? Hurricane terror...

Cancun night, originally uploaded by Adrian Tan.

I took this picture on my second night in Cancun. I was taking a walk by myself in front of my hotel and decided to capture the moon. Well...it didn't turn out as anticipated...it was not a sunrise...but looks more like it, huh? Bare in mind, I took this at night time. I over exposed the camera too long...=( ... I'm still learning...Anyway, it turned out pretty cool....so I decided to post this picture.

Many of you might know, three countries are or will be hit by hurricane Wilma...Cuba, Mexico and USA. The only place in Mexico that will be hit by this category 4 Wilma is Yucatán area...where Cancun, Cozumel and Xcaret are situated at. I just read the news this morning, that Wilma just landed on the beaches of Cancun this morning. Many locals and tourists in Cancun should be now hiding in the tornado shelter or using hotel ballrooms shelters. Can you imagine, that someone that is expecting to have a good holiday and be treated like a King/Queen in a luxurious hotel...now have to hide in a shelter with hundreds of others, with possibility of not having enough food and water supply? SUCKS!

Anyway, let's hope for the best for the people there and pray for them...

Bad ass warrior huh? Mayan costume...this guy was just posing there and was preparing for a cultural show next.

More of Xcaret...

Hmmm...I'm trying to upload these pictures using blogger instead of my usual flickr. I just wanna put a few pictures in one post, instead of one picture for every post using flickr. Hope this will turn out good.

Anyway, a few more pictures of Xcaret when I was in Cancun. Hope you guys are not bored of it yet. You know...it's been more than a month since I left Cancun. Everday, I'll be dreaming of going back there again someday...warm weather, sandy beaches and crystal clear water.

To all my friends, Kerry, Lin Zhuang, Sachin and Chin Hooi, thanks for your comments about my pictures. I'm just learning to take better and better pictures everyday...

When I was in Cancun, I went to Xcaret. Like I mentioned in my previous post...it was an awesome place. I caught this guy sun bathing somewhere in the bush....hmmm...he's not doing something 'productive' in the bush, huh? Anyway, I decided to take a snap shot of him posing.

Guys...I know it's been soooo long but more photos of Cancun will come. Bare with me please...been really busy and lazy lately!

Carina...here's your request. I'm sure this is the little church on top of the hill that you were referring to in Metepec. I found out the name of the church is "El Calvario"...The Calvary. Here's a photo that I took when I went there.

Yes ladies and gentleman..this is Cancun. That was my last location in Mexico the weekend before I left.

I sorry that I posted this so late. After I get back into US...I got all lazy...busy with work...etc etc. So, might as well just get it done with it.

NO! I didn't go with other people...NO! I didn't hook up with some chicks...I was all by myself in Cancun...just in case you guys are wondering.

Anyway, I've never been to such beautiful place in my life. Unlike Pulau Redang, where you can only go scuba diving/snorkling, relax by the beach and sleep...Cancun is a lot more than that. With tons of world class hotels...countless restaurants...amazing nightlife...and of course expensive. You'll see many tourists from all around the world. Chicks? Don't even need to ask about that...they were excellent!

On the first day, I arrived there in the evening. I couldn't do anything else except for bar hopping...yes...ALONE. I jsut wanted to see Cancun's nightlife. Believe me, if you have a bunch of crazy asses with you...you'll get tons of fun.

Second day, I took an hour bus ride to Playa del Carmen. From there, I took a 40 mins ferry ride across to Cozumel Island. There, they have the second longest reef in the world after Australia. I wanted to go snorkle...but I did it many times before. So, I thought maybe I should go a little further. Took a crash course in scuba diving and I went right in. My first scuba diving was fun...really.

On the third day, I took another bus ride to a nearby park, it's called Xcaret. Not exactly near, it was about 1.5 hour away. Anyway, that place was beautiful. I just spent the whole day there. I swam the natural underwater river, visited Mayan ruins and watched performances.

On my last day, I didn't do much. My first three days there, I did not actually sit by the beach and chill. So, I decided to do that a few hours before I went to the airport. The picture you see, I took it as I was walking along the beach. Just beeeeeeeeeeeeautiful!!
