The Bad / The Good

THE BAD

DOGS: Why is it that every dog I have seen over here are oh-so-ugly? I've always thought they were cute to look at (but not touch) but over here it's a different story! Their bottom side is so big and saggy and almost all of them look like thin ill sausage dogs (yuk!) It makes me think, are all the cute and healthy dogs butchered and this is what remains?! Hmmmz... Ugh I get the shivers from looking at them long but you can't help but look because they're everywhere.. they're around your table when you eat out (breafast, lunch and dinner!), they're on the streets as you walk or ride by, they're everywhere! Even my grandparents has two as pets! Ugh!

MOSQUITOES: They are everywhere. "Aeroguard Tropical Strength" is a MUST!!!

TOILETS (double yuk!): How can I forget. Luckily my grandparents has got the western style toilet but even with it, you still have to throw away the used toilet paper in the waste bin provided. Of course I often forget and throw it down the toilet by mistake and some time last week I managed to clog up my aunty's toilet :[

DIRT: You can't hide from it

*just yesterday*
PERMANENTLY STRAIGHTENING HAIR: It kills! I never knew they would pull your hair with the straightener that badly! I think they managed to stretch my hair an extra 1cm or so!! I'm serious! I don't know if that's the standard way of straightening someone's hair or they sinply have bad quality hair straighteners but either way, it was 4hrs of pain. And now, i have to leave my hair unwashed for 3days!! In asia ahh!! :{

THE GOOD

MOSQUITO ZAPPERS: It was once shown on Rove and it's such a kool device! It looks like a tennis racquet (only the wires are charged up) and by pressing the button on its side, you zap every mozzie you whack! I bring it into the toilet with me hehehe coz it's crazy how many mozzies you see in the toilets and bathrooms here.

FOOD: The portion over here is just perfect for me and I can finish the whole bowl! Every soup I've tasted is yum-yum-yum! From Bo Kho to Pho to Hu Tieu, yummy! I also love the Bo La Lop (beef wrapped in leaves). Somehow the food over here just doesn't compare to AUS (except for my mum's cooking of course)-it's so much better here!. David- I'll do my best to eat all the yummy food over here on your behalf!!! -anything BUT dog meat ok!

PENNYWORT DRINK: yummy! I love it! As cheap as it is, I try not to drink too much of it because then i'll need to go to the toilet and as mentioned, I HATE using the toilets!! =/
