Planning a trip...
I've been delaying a trip to see my brother in Ohio. The last few times it was cold... I'm a Florida guy and dislike cold. Growing up in New York and some band tours into Canada during winter has nightmares of body parts freezing and breaking off!
Like the time I was driving in Nova Scotia Canada in an old Ford van with a broken heater and rotted out weather stripping on the doors. I had a blanket wrapped around my left leg and couldn't feel my toes.
I don't want to travel on a holiday weekend so my window is before Thanksgiving.
The weather has already kicked with nights into the 40's (Fahrenheit) and the leaves on the trees changing color. So, I need to book flights and pack some heavy clothing!

The Land of a Thousand Smiles
A month after my flights back to Malaysia was booked, I lamented to Art how nice it would be if my best friends ( 2 sisters ) could come along with me and my daughter to Bangkok when I pay homage to Lord Brahma or Phra Phrom as known in Thailand, he replied, “Why don’t you bring them with you? I’ll pay for their expenses as well. All expenses, except shopping!”
I quickly informed my friends before he changed his mind! Lol! There were so many arrangements to be made and thankfully my daughter was on hand to help me out.
Less than 5 days after arriving in Malaysia from the US, still not recovered from the jet-lag, I traveled to Bangkok. I have always liked Thailand and her people.
My all-time favorite Thai dish, Pad Krapow Gai ( Minced Chicken with Thai Basil ) and my daughter ‘s favorite, Pad Thai, accompanied by the must-have Thai milk tea!
Wat Pho- The Temple of the Reclining Buddha.
We went to the Huamum Night Market, a 40-min drive on the outskirts of Bangkok.
Nearly bought this rubber monitor lizard for Art coz he has this fixation on this reptile after he first laid eyes on one of them ( a real one! ) when he traveled to Bangkok with me in 2017.
This was the real reason we were there that night. Scantily-clad men servers! Every hourly, for about 10 mins, they would go around and performed lewd acts on the patrons/diners
These are screenshots I took from my video reel. Our table was a hotspot because it was right in the middle!
We were still laughing very hard when we our food came. They were surprisingly good and reasonably priced too.
The following day, we checked this place out. Shing A Ring A Ring Cafe
I have been friends with these two sisters for almost 23 years now.
After our lunch, we headed to Big C where you shop for Thai snacks, souvenirs and other quirky stuff like phalllc-shaped soap bar
I can get these at our local Asian Market here in Omaha but I got a few packets for Art’s great-grandnephew anyhow.

Making plans for the USA! (part 7!)
It is that time again! It's time for your favourite blog ever - my planning for the USA.
The last blog was about the food. This blog is about something else.. It can't always be about food, right?
My friend, who I am visiting, told me that she would be working Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Saturday, she's off at 3 pm, so I need to keep myself busy and/or entertained until she's back home. Fortunately, I love exploring. All I really need is some water, a good pair of shoes and my camera. With those three things, I can be busy for hours. I can look at the local area, for example. I could also help her with grocery shopping. The possibilities are endless!
I COULD also be a total recluse and spend the entire day watching TV, but that's not fun. Not fun at all. Besides, I am in a new country, so I need to experience shtuff.. Flying 4173 miles just to watch TV is just.. Not it..
I need to ask my friend if I can get a spare key so I can go exploring while she's at work! She's off work Sunday and Monday, so those days can be spent driving to DC. I'm thinking we're going to hit a shopping mall on the Saturday, but nothing's set in stone just yet.
My trip is 51 days and 11 hours away! I should start packing soon..

Thank you, Beibee!
Thank you for meeting Art and MiMi under such a short notice. Thank you for belanja-ing me the yummy dry Bak Kut Teh. Thank you for the kopi that Art can’t wait to try it out once we are back in Omaha ( meanwhile, just minum kopi kat kedai mamak aje ) Last but not least, thank you for your time and introducing your long time friend to us.
Hope to meet you again when I make another trip to Malaysia!
It’s always nice to be able to meet a fellow CSer in person. I hope to meet more in the future.

The Voice Of Nature..
Having a moment to greet Nature again, after being trapped in the hustle and bustle of the city of Jakarta for so long, was something I really missed.
Ground camping Mawar,.in the slope of hill part of Mountain Ungaran. One of my fav place to meet up and enjoy the voice of nature.
The place quite peace, reachable ...and of course there are many natural settings that we can still greet and enjoy ..

Changing my holiday destinations
Well.. One of them. I am still going to Italy this year and the US next year. It's the year after that, I am changing.
You may recall, a few blogs back, that I was going to the Philippines. I had a bit of a think earlier today, and I have decided to swap the Philippines for Japan. More specifically - Tokyo. I have always wanted to go to Japan on holiday, and now I have the opportunity to go there.
It's still a ways away, so lots of time to save up and plan what to see and do. I know someone in Japan, so I might ask that person to be my tour guide, unless that person suggests it by themselves.
But why do I want to go to one of the biggest cities in the World as a person who does not like big crowds? Well.. It's pretty simple: I want to learn how to be comfortable in big crowds. My trip to Italy and the US will definitely help towards making me more comfortable with a lot of people.
I have been in places with a lot of people before, but that was in a large open area. The biggest crowd I have been in was 120.000 people at a festival in the UK. The population of Tokyo, if you count the entire metro area? About 41 million..The city of Tokyo alone is 13.9 million.
So now it's pretty much settled: Italy later this year, the US next year and then it's off to Tokyo for a two week holiday. I just need to know how much the flight and hotel is, and how much spending money I need to bring with me. Lots of time to figure that one out, though..

Never Say Never
Damnoen Saduak floating market. I went there for the first time back in 2003 with my then husband, now my ex. My kids were probably 5 and 4 back then. My mom and stepdad volunteered to look after them while my ex and I ventured out for a day on our own.
The floating market was nothing at all what you saw in the advertisement pictures. Such a big letdown and disappointment that I vowed NEVER to ever pay money to go there again….
Until yesterday…
The kids and I had been to Thailand countless of times and this is Art’s 4th trip. There’s only so much you can shop and eat while in Bangkok ( unless you shop at ‘Big C’ ) and I decided to do something different with Art and my kids. Damnoen Saduak floating market and Mae Klong railway market sounded like a good idea initially but I quickly realized my mistake
Hot, humid and very crowded. People jostled and pushed and I nearly punched ( yes I chose violent ) a Korean b*tch for trying to overtake me and in the process caused me to lose my balance and footing.
Everyone vying to get pictures/videos of the approaching train.
Damnoen Saduak. Go only if you had all your shopping done and had nothing else better to do
Have a great weekend ahead everyone!
It’d be a hectic one for me, that’s for sure
