A mission to Siem Reap

Last weekend I joined a missionary trip to Siem Reap, Cambodia. It was an initiative by a pastor from SIB. We visited three villages. Each day we took like an hour more road trip to the village. There the team members shared the gospel, and the villagers responded. Most of the villagers were women and children. I guessed the men must have gone out for work. Or perhaps work overseas. After the sharing, we provided medical consultation. We had two doctors on board with us. In the afternoon, some team members had fun time with the children. The children received some goodies too. The trip was overall enlightening. God is still at work.

Why did I join such trip? I guess it was a calling. Plus He did answer my prayer by providing an affordable air fare (I asked for less than RM300 round trip, and I did get it). Probably I will come back in future.

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.

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.
