"Ghost town"

Uncle Lim has dubbed my hometown as ghost town at night. True enough. I have raised up there for 20 years and heaven knows that people don't go to town at night. All shops are closed. You can only find night life around 3 and 4 miles. Well, my parents are staying in 3 1/2 miles.

Last year when I brought JR back to Sandakan, he seems quite enjoyed it (I think so). Maybe because of my mom's homecook food?
Or maybe he likes those orang utans in Sepilok?
Or perhaps the crocodile in 7 Mile?

True enough, I don't see any potential in this town. There will be a new corridor launching for Sabah soon. I wonder how will it help to boost the economy.

Heard that people dare not go to town at night coz it will be taken over by illegal immigrants when night fall. Not sure if true or not.

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.
