My dad is better than your dad

This was a reality show in US TV some time ago (the show was only managed to be aired for 1 season though). There are 4 teams in each episode. Each team consists of pair of father and son/daughter. Of course they will need to compete with each other teams. So the kids will brag that his/her dad is better than the others. There's nothing wrong with this. Just that the kids need to be vocal enough, highly confident and at some point give a great expectation to their dads. Well, in each hurdles, they will portrait a teamwork spirit between father and kid, which is crucial in the family institution. And the mother and family members will support from the audience seats. Such a great combination of family unity. What if the team lose? They will forgive each other and continue to support each other. Maybe it's just an act. But you can see the relationship is there. Let's ask this question: how many dad-kid relationship exists in Asia family by means of rebuking and loving each other in public?

The essence of the show is to enhance family unity and not to be ashamed with each other. Just like believers not to be ashamed with their Father.

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.
