Friday, December 4 - We stopped into the big Mall in Ipoh today for a few errands:
- We hooked ourselves up with a pay-as-you-go data plan so that we can use the internet without having to find free WIFI at cafes like Starbucks. (More about the headaches surrounding this later)
We stopped at a cafe to use the internet (since we weren’t hooked up to the data plan yet) and to have a beverage (I had milk tea – which is a frothy, milky, sweet tea drink. Yummy!)- We each bought a pair of shorts, and we bought some cookbooks that look really promising, including a cookbook for Dim Sum foods!
- But most importantly, we got a map of Ipoh so Rocker can finally figure out how Junkii’s hometown is laid out.
Being able to navigate is critical to my sanity, so while the map wasn’t cheap, it’s priceless in terms of my staying balanced.
Nice entries so far. However, you weren't kidding when you said the emphasis would be on food. :)
ReplyDeleteFood is part of the main reason we like travelling. These postings hopefully make people drool (wink, Lex & Gerry).
ReplyDeletewink right back atcha!
ReplyDeleteRocker - didn't realize the underpinnings of your sanity was a map. But I get what you mean. Traveling can be extra stressful when you can't get your bearings and other people are zipping you hither and yon.
Bet you've spent some quality time with that map now you finally have it.
I'm impressed by how much you are blogging if you are having WIFI issues though. I popped into today thinking you *might* have gotten one or two posts up.
We only post once every few days, but it's easy enough to do the writing offline and just post when we can.
ReplyDeleteEeee! Homemade dim sum! Awesome cookbook find!
ReplyDeleteYes, we can have a dim sum party like we did with the sushi party!
