Kimchi Yes or Kimchi Damay (Japanese for 'No')?

On a friday night, guess what flew into my house?

Apparently my mother thinks of bats as bad rodents that should be exterminated like rats. It took quite a bit of convincing to quell her fears, although the bat did take a dump on her ornament hat hanging in the house.
On a lighter note, I made kimchi for the first time in my life! Thanks to Maanchi's recipe!

Saturday was spent bringing Heinz and his wife, Myrna, around Singapore. Heinz was a German friend I met while on our way from Milan to the Bergamo airport.
It can be quite amazing how people who live so far apart can be connected so easily, thanks to travelling.

So when Gun Kiat and I travelled around Europe, we made a short stopover near Heinz's place in Heidelberg and he offered us a place over our heads for one night and even drove us 300km away to the airport we were to leave from the next day. Where can you find such friends, especially when you barely know them?














And so, since Heinz made a huge leap in faith in me and Gun Kiat, we made sure his short stopover trip (he was en-route to Davao) here was enjoyable, and brought him to see the night scenes in Singapore.










The Esplanade was the last stop for the night, and I don't have the rest of the photos but you could go to Gun Kiat's blog if you wish to know where we brought him :)













Thanks a lot for the memories Heinz! I hope you had an enjoyable trip in Singapore and hopefully I'll get to visit you and Myrna in Davao when you've finally built your dream retirement home.
