The weekend that was unexpected....

Last weekend was quite an eventful weekend. Had planned to go to KL Convention Center for Popular Book Feast. It was crowded. Lots of Parents taking their children to visit the book fair since it was school holiday. Eventhough it was packed, we (SY and I) spent nearly 4 hours but end up bought no book. My housemates did buy some.

The next day we received a message stated that SH's father has passed away. It was a surprise. We had a last minute plan - drove down to Batu Pahat to pay a visit. Batu Pahat is quite a big town (to my surprise). It has one shopping mall and 2 or 3 "The Store" outlets. We arrived around 3pm and had a little chit-chat with the family. We left an hour and half later. After about 2 hours drive, we stucked in the famous jam along the KL-Seremban highway. It took us 1 hour to get thru it. Finally we arrived home at 9pm. We had a good journey but it was a bummer to encounter traffic jam along the highway.

Lived in BP for 5 years. It was a nice and peaceful little town. Perhaps much changed now.

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.
