Yangon trip - the food that I had

The free breakfast provided by the The Willow Inn during my stay was good. When Michael and I ventured out for the local delicacy, we found that was not much varieties. Fortunately, there were some decent places for dining. One of the places was the Indian restaurant (forgot the name, I think it's Nilar Biryani). They served the best Faluda (as claimed by the foodies in the internet). It is actually a sweet dessert drink, kinda like our Malaysian's ABC. But I think their briyani was the best. We ended up patronizing that place twice. We also tried the #1 restaurant in Yangon, 999 Shan Noodle House, as claimed by Tripadvisor. Well, just say their noodles were not as best as my favourite wantan mee in SS2.

A friend of Michael brought us to Shan Yoe Yar. A decent restaurant that serves food from the Shan State. This was really awesome. How to describe it - a mixture of Chinese and Thai flavor. The most unforgettable meal was the local mixed rice. They like to have their dish super oily - to keep away the flies from stopping by the food. By the way, the best Faluda was in Shwe Pu Zun Coffee House, as recommended by Michael's friend. Couldn't agree more.

The wedding of ....

This wedding has some similarity with ours but, by comparison in every detail, each is still distinctly unique.

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.

Life, Travel, GRACE
