I’m back from Bangkok. Thailand has always being known as the land of smiles. It is indeed.

They have sunny weather throughout the year that keep most angmoh very happy and most of them are from Russia because I notice they have menu in Russian, signboard in Russian, hotel bellboy who speaks russian… whoaaa! Impressive. So knowing Russian language was not bad at all.

What makes me smile is this dish of mango sticky rice. Super yummy sweet mango and fragrant glutinous rice. Thai restaurant in Malaysia hor… give u one big chunk of sticky rice but a slice of tiny mango… so kiamsap.

Waaaahhhh Tom Yam kung with big fresh prawns! I’m addicted to tomyam now.

Hotel in Pattaya is very understanding and is ready to serve every customer’s need. This is the first thing I notice when I open the room door. Lol. I’m sure it makes a lot of people smile.

When I stepped out of the airport, I was amazed by the colourful taxis at the entrance of the arrival hall. Wahseh. Pink taxi ler! Even got pink buses, pink motorbike, pink… everything in pink.

And also a lot of pink hello kitty merchandise. I started to understand why so many guys there ended up becoming transvestites. Please take note that early education and upbringing of a child is very important. I shall feed my son with pornography next time… but eh then my son willl turn into sex maniac lor like dat? Aiyak, kenot kenot.

Best toilet.JPG

Thais are very clean. The city is very clean, until there isn’t a rubbish bin anywhere (dat’s bcos they are afraid of people planting bomb in the public rubbish bin). They also got the cleanest public toilet of the year! This beat our country a lot. I wonder why is our public toilet so smelly and dirty?
Of course I went, I peed and flushed the best public toilet there! Uh… and I know why they win the best toilet because there were many fans inside the toilet. Where else you wanna be when it’s 30+ degree celsius outside the safari?

Patin.JPG

Those Patin fishes in the Chao Praya river very scary. My goodness… if only this river is located in Malaysia… I don’t think those patin fish can grow so big because we’ll eat them all. ^^. Steamed patin fish very nice lor. Thai people doesn’t know how to cook patin fish so they don’t eat them that’s why the river is full of these fishes.

ah kua.JPG

Waaaah~ I tell you, Thailand got the most beautiful women on earth. Long slim legs, super big boobs, beautiful smile and pretty face. Suddenly I feel so timid standing next to her him.

You know there was this plump indian man, he took photos with all the ah kua there and he groped their arses =_=. I wonder does he knows tranverstite = man?

Regardless, the ah kua show is really cool. They all can dance better than Rihannah!

What’s that? I think it’s a fly…urrrghh no, no.. I think it’s a star…. errrhhhh I think I’m too headache to think. I’m so tired that I can faint anytime. 8am - 5pm in the hospital. 5.30pm till 7.30 learn driving. Aaahh this wednesday gonna sit for driving test liao. Woooootttt!!!

Since I’m too lazy tired to think. I gonna post some photos of the night view from Eiffel Tower, Paris. Everyone has a photo of eiffel tower and arch de’ triomphe and the glass pyramid of the Lourve but not many has the photos of night view from the top of Eiffel Tower. The highest floor need a lot of luck to access bcos it will close at anytime when someone farted overcrowded, bad windy day and closed for maintenance work.

The first night we missed it. The 2nd night we went at 9.30pm but as we walk towards the queue, the board says highest floor is closed. =_=. Feel annoyed. But then after that we decided to give a try, come all the way to Paris of course must go to the top floor la. Taa-daa… after 30 mins of queueing, when we were few steps away from the cashier, suddenly the highest floor is open back for entrance. =D So lucky.

Can I leave the photos like that without description? Too tired to think. Enjoy the photos! Tomolo will complete all my unfinished halfway written posts. ^^.

Bone ossuary in Kutna Hora

Every European country we go, we will take a short excursion out of the main city. Like in Amsterdam, we went to Koog-Zandjik to see the windmill, in Italy, we went to Lake Garda. Around Prague, there are many other small tourist attraction town. My neighbour went to a spa town and took a bath there. I went to Kutna Hora to visit the Bone Ossuary.

Kutna Hora.JPG
*From the train station look… it looks like a dead city…. i know i know -_-

Kutna Hora is the 2nd most important city after Prague in the Bohemian empire during the 13th century and it has the largest silver mine in Europe at that time and serve its purpose as the main city that produce silver coins for the whole Europe.

skull on the ground.JPG

Watch out! This skull is so cute ^^. It’s on the path leading to the church.

Sedlec Kostnice_1.JPG

This is the Sedlec Kostnice / Bone ossuary / Church of Bones / Bone museum / etc.

The ossuary contains approximately 40,000-70,000 human skeletons which have been used to decorate the chapel. The Black Death in the mid of 14th century took away more than 30 000 lives in Kutna Hora and then followed by the Hussite War in the early 15th century which claimed more lives. Cemetery had to be enlarged and they need more burial space. But later one a church was build in the middle of the cemetery and many graves unearthed during the construction. The lower part of the church were made into an ossuary to keep the unearthed skeletons.

They said the job of stacking and piling up the bones was given to a half-blind monk. But his kerja must be very teruk that’s why later in 1870, FrantiĊĦek Rint a woodcarver was given the task to rearrange the bones and put it in order and the result is what we see today.

kostnice_3.JPG

A lot of people think this place is creepy but my feeling is just like Sunako Nakahara (go watch Perfect girl evolution
aka yamato nadeshiko sichenge
). Hey there’s the femur bone and that’s the tibia. The corner of this chapel is occupied by 4 enormous bell-shaped pile of bones which mainly consist of the skull, the femur and tibia. =D. They used the humerus bone as decorations hanging on the wall, like the previous photo above.

kostnice_4.JPG

This is the middle part of the chapel.

kostnice_6.JPG

The word IN’RI above Jesus means Iesvs Nazarenvs, Rex Ivdaeorvm - Jesus from Nazareth, King of the jews.

kostnice_7.JPG

The Schwarzenberg coat-of-arms. I think this is a beautiful piece of art made from skeletons. I’m impressed by the way the bones were arranged. There you see the jaw bone, rib, vertebrae… ekekeke.

kostnice_8.JPG

The chandelier of bones. It contains at least one of every bone in the human body. This chandelier is very beautiful lor… how i wish I can keep one at home…. but then probably at night I will have a lot of visitors as well.
