The journey started in Prague

Getting to Prague city center via public transport was easy. We quickly checked in to our AirBnB place. In recent years, I've been lodging using AirBnB as I can have access to kitchen and washer with a price less than those offered by hotels. We stayed at the upper part area from Nadroni Museum. Besides the museum was an opera house. Even though these two places were near to where we stayed, we didn't drop by that places. Instead, we headed straight to the Old Town and across the Vltava river (the following day). I have to admit that for this trip, I didn't do much background check on the places nor make any proper plan of the itinerary visit. My bad. Well, further down from the museum was Wenceslas Square. After a few minutes walk along the street, we reached Old Town area. Needless to say, the must-see object in that area is the Prague Astronomical Clock. I got to know this place from my friend, not from last minute reading. Luckily he told me, otherwise I would become a dumb and uninformed traveller. Not far from there, we joined a walking tour. And that's where I had my first lesson of the city.

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.
