Memory of Lao　-　Vientian

Today I was watching the photos taken in Laos in this January. After Sri Lanka I visited there just for

a few days. I was just stunned..for what?...I felt I wondered into Northern country of somewhere.... ( though I never been there)

Don't get me wrong ... I am talking about its flatness of the atmosphere, no smiles on people's face,

and what amazed me most was that the pedestrians had a human right here! In Asia, India or Sri Lanka

people behind the wheels never concerned about the pedestrians, they just drive as if they don't have a speed meter.

But in Vientian, things are different, Here, Car is coming ~ from far~ and still far way ..15 seconds past....still ... like that, the speed limit for vehicle is 50km, can you believe it!?!

Anyway, the statue of Buddha and the statue in the temples look bit scary, some looked like alien.

Sorry...Buddha I am not insulting you... just little bit different from what I know...

Finally I knew that Lao people were very shy, once I get to know the person they smile back to you from the second time.

Autumn in Sydney but feel Summer really!

Summer is still hanging around Sydney, there were so many variety of people on the beach side.
Couples, family, retires but not many surfers...

The swell hit 6 ft plus and because of the rough ocean, Bronte pool was even closed.

Not only a beach activity today,there was a wedding ceremony at Franciscan church near by.

Tamarama wow

Ice cream, ice cream , wanna try yours!

Happy days!!

Durian Durian♪♡◎

One of my friend, Ms Marui in KL told me that she was going to have Durin cheese cake at Secret Recipe.

At the same time I was thinking to have Durian ice cream in Sydney.

But it was double indulgence at the end...

Who can resist not buying Durian Pancake when you are at China Town?? I can't....

Deadly attack by blue bottles

One of those days..when the north warm current brings in heaps of blueys ......
They cannot swim but cruise with the high tide current, I know they don't mean to harm swimmwers
and surfers...

One swimmer called " Help ", and I realized several blue bottles were around. He was wrapped around with a long tentacle and surfers including me raised an arm to gave a signal to lifeguards.

It took for awhile when the lifeguards finally saw what was happening.

I kept surfing afterwards, but.... bastard blueys caught my both legs, arms.....

The best thing you can do is " Do not rub just pinch the tentacle away with your fingernails "
" Wash but not rubbing "
Then , here it is, TEA TREE OIL ...This is a natural antiseptic .. every Australians have this at home.

this is a dead one that is why you cannot see long long tentacle

I always carry when travelling,too

What I saw today

Walking to the jungle side is closer than going to the beach. Step by step my eyes catch things on the streets. Valentine flowers...lady sitting at Kid's cancer donation desk.....confy innocent baby on a pram.....Paintings ( not graffiti ) on the wall of houses........

Walking in the jungle...then the moist fresh air brushed gently against my cheek...

Walking out of the jungle, I was attracted to this house..oh to the fox...knock knock knock!?!

Good food

I rarely eat eggs. But sometimes I really feel having eggs. That is fine! Let's eat them..
My fav. is poached egg, and look at this eggs..perfect? yes...I cooked very well of course...

When you cook poached egg, you can prove the quality and freshness.
Package of the egg says " winners Sydney Royal Easter Show", not mentioning organic grown but
It doesn't matter. They say,

No added hormones or Antibiotics, running and walking in a fields..

I enjoyed this rich sweet taste eggs very much. Good food!

* parsley from the garden, freshly picked, high quality peppers from sri lanka*

Sri Lanka / Hikkaduwa for a new happy year

Sisi is the best local surfer and not only that, he is humble, funny and respectable , so cool.
He charges when the surf is bigger.

Despite of the dry season, they had so much rain. Everyday we had some kind of rain.
It was very rare to see the sunset like this during 4weeks of my staying in Hikkaduwa.
