Next year, don't bother coming back to Singapore for CNY lah. It was hot as hell this year, and everything is so expensive during CNY, and nothing is open. Plus must give out angpow until green faced. Fucking little snots I have never met before must give minimum $10. Relatives kids not happy if u give only $20. WTF. Next year, I am going to a Muslim country like Bali to spend my CNY. At least everything is open and business as usual.

All over Thailand one can find many delicious and clean street food. One of my favourite but rare item is bitter gourd chicken noodle or in Thai will be "kway teow gai mara"

It is basically noodles (of your choice) in soya sauce chicken soup with pieces of chicken boiled in soya sauce. At a side table are raw vegetables (including thin slices of bitter gourd of course) and sauces for customers to add themselves into the bowl of their noodle. Let me show you.

The stall

The said table with raw vegetables and sauces here you can find from left to right - Thai basil, bitter gourd, bean sprouts. From top to bottom - sour chili sauce, sugar, roasted chili flakes, un-roasted chili flakes, crushed peanuts.

Here you see customers topping up the their noodle at the "free flow" table

FINALLY! Today I got a chance to use the new terminal in the Suvarnabhimbi Airport.

If you are familiar with this airport this is a video showing getting to the new terminal after immigration at the old terminal. Hope it helps.

I would like to ask those of you living in Thailand. How many free channels does Thailand have ?

Can I buy a digital antenna like I do in Singapore, and just plug in to a TV and watch free channels ?

1. I don't watch TV so I don't know how many free channels

2. Yes just get a box and plug it in the TV you're good to go

Did a 60 hours trip recently to Wuhan

Flew in the morning Bangkok to Beijing. Beijing traffic at 5pm is terrible worst than Bangkok.

Anyway walked tolook for dinner and chanced upon crowds having street food

Drink and drive is very serious crime in China and often have roadblocks, so you could use your WeChat app to call for a driver who arrives in less than 5mins with an electric foldable bike

So this is how it works
