Perth - A visit to the farms

During our visit to Perth, cousin Jen brought us to farms (located at somewhere near to Kalamunda).

Thanks Jen for being our tour guide while we were in Perth ;)

1st Stop: The Apple Farm

Yes it is an apple farm with lotsa apple trees, and appless!!

Aw, the apples look so tempting. Just by looking at the pic I feel like eating all em' adi.

We were (or rather I was) excited seeing the apple trees!

2nd Stop: The Persimmon Farm

Jen also brought us to one of the persimmon farms. Seriously, it was our very 1st time seeing persimmon trees ( we have seen apple trees before).

To be honest, persimmons do not look as tempting as apples, but they are very crunchy, fresh and juicy. Hence, we decided to bring 2 boxes of persimmons back to Malaysia ;)

Bangkok - The Colourful Cabs

Ever wonder what cars do other countries use as cabs? In Malaysia, the commonly used model is Proton Iswara, and I believe everyone of us are well aware of this.

Do you know Toyota Altis are widely used as taxi to carry passengers in the heart of our neighbor country Bangkok? Hmm... It always sounds to me that Altis is a type of expensive and luxury car in Malaysia. However, that is really not the case in Bangkok. What the heck! Guess Altis is selling at a rather cheap or affordable in Bangkok, sigh -.-"


Nah nevermind.

Then, we saw this in one of the cabs we took in Bangkok. Yes, it is a "No farting" sign in the car? Are you telling me that when I need to fart, I need to get out of the car? Shall I tell the driver "Excuse me sir, can you stop for a while cos' I need to get out of the car to fart for a bit?" whenever I wanna fart? Hmrpf!!

Anyways, that's to share with you and it's just for a laugh (",)

Another fact about cabs in Bangkok is, they are very colorful! Seriously.
As shown above, they have blue ones..,

and orange ones..,

and yellow + green ones..,

and red ones..,

and yellow ones..,

and pink ones..,

and there are lots more!! See it for yourself, they are really colorful.

Bangkok - The Chinatown

Another must-visit place in Bangkok is definitely the China town. The Chinatown in Bangkok is a rather happening place, and they are open at night too.

Hence, it is no doubt one of the best places for food hunting!

China town is accessible by the underground MRT.

What makes Bangkok's Chinatown different from others?

Bingo! They sell bird nest and shark fin soup everywhere in china town at rather reasonable prices.

Basically there are a lot of hawker stalls selling bird nest and shark fin soup in china town. Yeah, they do sell bird nest and shark fin at hawker stalls, and there are lotsa em'! No kidding -.-"

Oh well, do we look du-lan? Alright, the weather was rather hot that night okay, and we were all hungry and very eager to try the bird nest soup ordered.

Here comes the bird nest soup. Does it look tempting? Hmm...

Information Sharing Corner:
1) How to get there?
It is accessible by the underground (MRT) - Hua lamphong station, then either you get a taxi or walk (15-20 mins) from the station to Chinatown.
