Feel Good Khao San

The whole idea was indeed to reach Khao San..

Like “Journey to the West”, we had walked through all the ups and downs, with sweats and pain..

Can really walk.. Can really stand starvation and dehydration.. Foong is the man!

Slurp slurp got to eat now!!!

Nice make on order Phat Thai!!

Only tourists do this!! And once we sat there,

all ‘ang mao’ followed us and made good business for this stall!! Haha..

This should be the way of tourist!

Nice food..

 

Don’t make it stop!!

   

New experience!! Acquired a fake tattoo from Khao San’s artist!

Nice one?

This little girl was so curious about my SLR..

 

Are you ready to feel good? Be prepared! @.<

Kuching's Pottery

A short trip to this pottery in Kuching.. not for souvenirs, actually for some nice photography subjects.. :P

Prior to that, we treat ourselves some nice spinach mee at a store next to Dong Guan,

with Jess’s nephews and niece..

First we witnessed the master skill of carving the pottery by this uncle.. concentrating on his work!

Which soon I began looking around for my subjects..

Personally like these two pictures very much.. Don’t you??

And this uncle was telling us lots of story.. :P

What else?? Lengcai and lengnui..

Some other hasil..

Actually there are also some nice clay kitties pictures taken from here..

will be in my other blog post later :P

Then we rushed to Kuching Airport for shi shi.. and some might be for ng ng.. =.="

And Kui Mei got to leave us early.. she missed the Cat Museum and Semenggoh trip!! What a regret!!

Woke up by Mom’s call from yesterday night’s drunk. Am grateful for the kind hospitality of Yuen and Kan, and this is my gift in return!

 

Ro Ro fascinated by her favourite toy!

 

Splash of water can be so much fun!

 

Huh, what you saying??



Evidence! Curious with the content of my bag!

Khmer Children 高棉的孩童

Before I went to Siem Reap, friends described how eager children are to sell things to tourists. I specially spent some time in Jusco to get them some candies before I go. Thinking it may be a good idea to make them happy as well as to distract them from selling.

The first child I saw was a cute bottomless boy in one lorong in Siem Reap town. The granny spoke a few words of Mandarin whose I believed was a Chinese descendant (may be I was wrong cause apparently there are many Chinese volunteers giving free Mandarin course for locals).

Here is a boy riding on the motorcycle.

 

Children are many in historical sites where tourists are abundant.

Children help their family selling souvenirs to tourists to earn a living.

Some might think children here have lost their innocence in face of harsh living condition. Here at Sras Srang, one kid was so thankful that I gave him some candies. He gave me a small bracelet in return of my kindness!

A Vietnamese school boy riding boat to school.

I miss the children there! I saw dream and belief in their eyes! They must have dream in chasing a better life, and they must have believed that they are capable of changing their destiny.

Ganbarimasu for these children!

高棉的孩童，加油！

I’ll bring them some stationery on my next visit.
