The visitors from 2 continents.....

We have two visitors come to Malaysia and stay in house 61. They are Nav guys. Todd is from US and Dave is from UK. They will be here for 6 weeks. Their primary purpose is to help out in student ministry work.

Yesterday we had home cooked dinner in SY house. Since they are from the west, most of the dishes are eye opener for them. They hardly have Chinese food in their own country. We had a great time though. Dave has his online blog to update his life (link). It's interesting to see how will the young chap adapt to hot and humid environment. Speaking about weather, these few days we have hazy days. Somewhere out there are having open burning.

reading his blog... I find that things that are so common as-a-matter-of-fact to Malaysians can be found so interesting to him. When are you guys showing him bak-kut-teh.

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.

Japan trip 2024

Just returned from a solo trip to Japan end of last month. The trip coincided with a conference in Sendai. It was an 8-day trip, including 2 days of travel. Took a direct flight from KL to Tokyo on the afternoon of October 23rd (Wednesday), arriving that night. By the time I cleared immigration, it was almost midnight. Then took a train to downtown Shimbashi. Without detailed research on the location of my booked capsule hotel, I ended up walking in the wrong direction and almost being harassed by roadside pimps (lol). After getting free Wi-Fi at a convenience store, finally able to find the hotel. Once checked in, took a hot bath (it was an open bath). That was the end of the day.  In-flight meal of ANA airline Male-only capsule hotel with open hot spring You can browse manga for free after soaking
