Switzerland

In August this year, I went to Switzerland to visit Steve and his parents as well as seeing some of his friends. It wasn't a long trip so far, just 10 days or so. We also visited Paris so it was even too short in Switzerland..here are some of the photos.

Rainy Saturday

Yesterday evening, my parents and I went out to our favorite restaurant in San Kampang. It's the restaurant specialize in Shrimp. I was so full as well as my parents. Sathip likes this restaurant as well, we would bring him here when he is around in the middle of October :)

Today was not really like what I expected. We planned to drive to Chomtong district about 1.5 hours away from Chiang Mai to look for the hand woven fabric for my new bag's collection ( I guess). And it just rains non-stop from morning till now (nearly noon). So this plan was not really a success. I will see if tomorrow the weather is better, we probably will go there. But tomorrow, I have an appointment to pick up all the bags made by the local artisan for my new collection. Will see...

I ate these

It's now Sunday, too fast. I wish the weekend is longer. A lot to do today, I planned to wash my car but hope I could manage sometimes for it. And started with this breakfast. I like this bread..The weather today is alright, not too hot but sunny. I like the sunny day and it will be even better in Europe because it's cool and sunny but here it's hot (like hell) and sunny :). Now I better sign off here to continue my Sunday!

Part 1 : Re-visited South India [Mamallapuram]

I posted my last photo on Flickr for my India trip since April. It took me couple of months to finish posting the photos but it was full of nice memory. The relationship of me with India is like love and hate relationship. You feel like you wanted to go there and when you go there you hate something about it too :D. I guess it's normal but one thing, I feel like home in many ways but I feel that I don't like it in many ways too. But the smell of food, the crazy street full of people and rickshaws make me feel like home. Not sure when I come to like Indian food, I have to say that particulary for the northern indian food. I love some of the South Indian food too like dosas and those many kind of things in the thali..

This time we landed in Chennai , formerly Madras, again. Also stayed in the same place in the Mylapore area. I love this street :) because it just goes straight to Chennai Citi Centre when needed to shop :D. We went to Mamallapuram on Sunday I think, not sure but somewhere on the weekend. It was nice getting away from Chennai but wherever we went, we were sweating like a pig (because it was hot like hell :D), I knew it was not a great time to visit South India in April but what could I do when I only had the only week off during that time because we also had Songkran holidays during that period.

We went to Mamallapuram by taxi. I loved seeing the scenary along side the street (also alongside the coast where the Tsunami hit couple of years back). But it was not a good idea driving at night by the way, too dangerous ..
We stayed in The Seabreeze Hotel at the end of the street, behind the hotel you could see The Shore Temple.
