HRC Singapore


I came back to Singapore after having good days in Kuala Lumpur. A funny thin is that I hardly took photos in Singapore. I just took some photos of HRC, and that's all. The reason is that I didn't find anything that I wanted to take photo. It didn't mean that I didn't enjoy Singapore. I enjoyed shopping at some of huge shopping mall, and saw some movies there. I enjoyed myself in Singapore.

About HRC, I could get some pins that I liked. Some staff of the merchandise were so friendly, and I enjoyed talking with them.

Now I am thinking why I didn't take photo of Marlion that is the symbol of Singapore. I loved that.

HRC Kuala Lumpur


After Bangkok, the plane took me for Singapore, and then I got on the night bus for Kuala Lumpur from the bus terminal of Singapore. The bus came over the border, and took me to Kuala Lumpur next day. Only thing I know about KL was that there was a huge tower call as Twin Tower that I saw the movie"Entrapment". In fact, the tower really looked cool.

After I enjoyed shopping around there, I visited HRC Kuala Lumpur.

Even though they didn't have many pins for sale, I was satisfied with what they had then.

Kuala Lumpur was bigger than I imagined, and walking around the downtown was so interesting. There were many store outside, and I could enjoyed their local foods everyday.

HRC Bangkok


1st visit
In April 2000, I went to Thailand that was my first trip for Far East. Everything around me attracted me. I enjoyed the difference from those countries where I had visited before Thai. My main target in Thai were some of world heritage & to enjoy Muy Thai(Kickboxing).



I also visited Ayutaya heritage that was located in the suburb of Bangkok. That was a great short trip.

About HRC Bangkok, it was located in the area where many shopping stores & restaurant were located. I could get many pins, and took many photos of HRC then.

Unfortunately, their staff at the merchandise store was one of the worst in my Hard Rock Life. But I understand there are many kinds of people on our earth.

2nd visit
In 2003, another HRC was opened in Thai. That was HRC Pattaya, so I decided to visit Thailand again. Before going to Bangkok, I visited two great heritage that were Angkor Wat and Sukhotai.



And then I stayed in Bangkok for 2 days. I met a local collector whom I have traded for a long time. We had lunch at HRC Bangkok, and we did some sightseeing together. I had great time again in Bangkok.
