Year of the tiger

Today marks the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations. We won't miss it too much. Sure the dragon dancing and the colorful decoration is exotic for us and quite interesting to see. But the loud-off-beat-my-grandma-got-more-rhythm-in-her-left-toe-nail drum music we could easily live without. We don't wanna offend 19,64% of the world population but really it's just a lot of noise. The sound of garbage men collecting the trash early on a Monday morning is more melodic and harmonizing. We still love your food though!

OK now it's cliffhanger time. Big day for us coming up tomorrow, with lots of exiting stuff happening, more on that in the next post, stay tuned.

Three reasons to celebrate

Today's Valentines day and it's also exactly one year since I went down on my knee and proposed to the love of my life Beata. It goes without saying it calls for some kind of celebration. Today's also Chinese New Year which is a pretty big thing over here. Most shops are closed and restaurant tables are booked. Luckily for us we had already reserved a table at the Phan Thai Restaurant not far from Pantai Kok on Langkawis west side (we live on the east).

We started with drinks, my memory is a little fuzzy right now I must admit, I vaguely recall a Cuba Libre, a Tequila Sunrise, and I think we ordered a Singapore Sling as well. Food was good but not great, I guess what you really pay for at a place like this is the view, and that's priceless!
