Trip 01-06: Let's start the trip.....

In a few hours, I will go to airport to catch my flight to Bangkok. Dr Mic and I will have the whole afternoon to kill in Bangkok. Still figuring out what to do and where to go while in Bangkok. Anyway, it's a leisure trip. So no rules to comply.

Cheers!

Emm took bus to downtown, got caught in a crazy traffic jam, left baggages in the train station, walked a long way to the pier, waited a long time for a boat, made the river cruise to the starting point, took the Skytrain to shopping malls in Silom, ate at a cute shop called Noodi, took the MRT back to train station, hopped on the train and bye bye Bangkok.

Day 2: A visit to some of The Tokyo Toilet project

On the second day of my trip, I decided to visit some of the public toilets under The Tokyo Toilet project. The idea was inspired by the film  Perfect Days . Since the public toilets under this project are scattered around western side of Tokyo, I visited a few in Shibuya area, which are quite close to each other. One notable location is Yoyogi Park.  One of the highlights of these designer toilets is the transparent toilet. Its transparent glass walls will turn opaque when the door is locked. This feature is based on the electrochromic effect. However, this feature is unavailable during late autumn and winter, which coincided my visit. The key takeaway from this visit: an eye opening experience about toilet culture and social inclusivity.

Trip 01-06: Day 8-9 (The end)

Day 8-9 (13-14 May) We proceed to Thailand in the morning. The immigration process was the easiest. We crossed the river by boat and reached Chiang Khong (the border town of Thailand). Then a mini van to Chiang Mai. Arrived in Chiang Mai about 4pm. Looked for a cheap room and then had an excursion around the town. The next day we will depart and back to M'sia. It has been a pleasant trip for the whole week. Laos is a beautiful and peaceful country with abundant of unspoiled forest and mountains. Now we have to get back to our real life. End of the trip.
