What about Easter..

Easter is not a big celebration in Singapore. There are some candy eggs to buy in the malls, but not much more than that.

We, me and some Singaporean friends didn’t celebrate it at all. I told them about the Swedish tradition, how we eat dinner and have a lot of food on the table and usually invite family and friends. Buying a lot of candy, especially from the pick and mix counter. Even the supermarkets are competing with each other who could cut down the kilo price with another 5-10 Swedish crones.

And of course, it’s of long tradition to give away Easter Eggs, full of candy. Pick and Mix is the common thing, but you can particularly put in anything you want. It’s all up to your own imagination. Though the shops will do the outmost to find new creations to fill the eggs with.

The dinner part take place on Saturday, after Good Friday, which in Sweden, especially for Christians used to be a very veery long Friday. Believe me, I remember when I was a kid. It was a very long day and soo boring. Nowadays it’s different.

In Sweden, easter includes a lot of pottering, like painting eggs, love that! especially it’s popular between kids.  Yellow will be a colour hard to avoid during this episode. As well chickens, roosters, feathers and all that kind of stuff. I went to Ikea here to check if I could get some inspiration, but it wasn’t much going on there either and I couldn’t really find any Easter things to buy. We almost had the idea of painting some eggs, but we never got that far. Probably lazy as we were to go out and buy eggs and colour:p Maybe next time..:)

Though Easter is big in Sweden I found it hard to almost notice it at all in Singapore.

I didn’t know until now, and I never went there, or had the

opportunity to buy something:(

and Singapore you’re soo developed but soo late with that. Time to pay some attention for the environment, let’s get money for every recyclable glas or pet-bottle or can we can return.

After a long deacade of nuclear phase-out, we’re suddenly going to open it up again. If there would be any kind of nuclear power plant disaster, no money in the world could save or repay it.
With that in mind, it’s not right.

There are other soultions, it’s just about the money. Where to  investment them..

Malaysia

One way of saving some money and the consumption of water-bottles are to refill them in water-tanks that are scattered all over Malaysia.

Prices vary depending were you are, Melaka is cheap and has quite a lot of them.

10 cent (in the currency of Ringgit).

1 dollar, foreigner price,  and of course no one checked our tickets. The train is suppose to take 2-3 hours, our train weren’t in a rush, soo we came back four hours later, exhausted and thirsty of the humidity.

What you get from this train, is to meet and see the locals and the countryside outside Yangon. The train stops quite frequently and you might find yourself getting stucked in the same place for a long time. Weekends are more relaxed with not so many people jumping on board while weekdays are more busy and crowded, though in return you’ll experience more action. Somehow it’s interesting in the same time as it feels like you’re wasting your time. Above are some pictures showing some of the action going on inside and outside of the train along the journey.

so fresh and soo clean à,.. comes with spicy sauce.
