Rawai Beach : Phuket, Thailand

Rawai Beach is the place not good for swimming like other beach in Phuket but this place is wellknown from traveller for seafood and scenery. The beach is littered with refuse and many boats stop there.

The traveller come to Rawai Beach to find the food at along the length of the beach. Rawain is best visited for a day trip and take the meal with seafood beside the beach with few cold drinks making you feel relaxing and free. The price for food in Rawai beach are very reasonable, the most popular is at Pakbang Food Center at the eastern end of the beach. Crab, fish and prawns served with sticky rice including fresh vegetables cost very cheap rather than Patong Beach.

Local people speak at least a little English and provide frendly simple English menus for you. But don't worry about that Thai people try to service you even you try to speak. You may on just point out on what you want.

KoreanClass101

One of many reasons why I choose Korea as my next WWOOFing assignment is to push my comfort zone level. My friends think I'm crazy to rough it in a language barrier country. Korea to name a few. Before this, I WWOOFed in Japan, Chiba area and learned the language decently in my own level hehe. Fortunately, I survived. Besides making a klutz of myself in a middle of nowhere with a very old grandmother finding my route back to Oohara.

After I return to Malaysia, I stumbled upon a very neat learning system online for learning japanese: JapanesePod101. Why I call them a neat system is because it helps, completes, guides and the most important thing is you don't have to go to physical class. What I learn in years is shortened in merely months and KoreanClass101 is the perfect bonus since it is under the same roof.

I gauge that somewhere between the lines will happen in Korea too and body language by far helps the most in dire situation. Nevertheless, I believe it's just human nature to help others when someone else is in helpless condition. Just to prepare for rainy days, I start to learn the language. Honestly, korean is hard. If I compare it to Japanese. The pronunciation just twisted my tongue..haha. Anyway, either korean or japanese, both languages sound very cute to me.

Aja-aja Fighting!!

City Hall - I just heart Kim Sun Ah!

She's freaking funny! I love Korean comedy, I do. Punishing my eyes until 3am just to finish the City Hall series. My verdict: Forget about the soapy plot aside, the actors and actresses in the drama were completely engrossed in their act. They were awesome!! Frankly, I just hate anything to do with politics but this drama just uniquely different because Kim Sun Ah is in it! I just heart her especially in My lovely Kim Sam Soon. She was downright funny and refreshing. I totally recommend City Hall, if you love comedy.

Go to MySoju for streaming drama and Soompi has the full ramblings about this drama.
