Vientiane Day 8. Things I will never take for granted. ever again.
1. A good mop (and a matching bucket)
As Vientiane sits on the bank of Mekong River, and the fact that my apartment is 7 mins away from the riverside, the wind continuously blowing dirts and sands into the city. And VTE city is in a dry and windy climate this time of the year. Spaces and items accumulate dusts easily. When I first stepped into my room, it felt like Rolland Garos. I borrowed a mop and a regular round bucket from the flat's owner on the day I moved. God knows where the mop had been and what kinds of liquid the bucket had carried. The amount of dusts made me change the rinse water every 2 dips and I have to squeeze the mop with my own hands.Yukk.

So we decided to get a more 'modern' mopping tool set, the one that won't require you to put your hand in the murky water. The big traditional market near the house doesn't have it. Nor others that commonly found around VTE.We spent nearly an hour on foot to find THE mop at the one-and-only "Home Ideal", the Carrefour of Vientiane. It's pink. Yay.
2. A proper junk food.
You know how the Pope kisses the ground whenever he visits a foreign country? Well I honour the ground I walk on by visiting its local KFC chain. So far, I found KFC in the Middle East countries the best. But that's not the point.
We decided to go for a junk food dinner at "MCK - A Happy New Choice", a fried chicken chain from Guangzhou. I got the chicken burger and Sarah got the fish burger. You can't go wrong with a burger, so I thought. Well, my chicken was on steroid and Sarah's fish burger was...just wrong.
Why a Guangzhou joint? Well, it promises absolutely delicious mouthwatering experiences. Plus, there's no Coloner Sanders chicken or McD here.

3. Hairmet
Watch Scrub season 3 episode 4:My Lucky Night. John Dorian's Hairmet is a genious invention. It is a helmet that prevents his hair from being mussed.

I can't let my investment of time and energy to work on my hair wasted within 10 mins bike ride to work. Now I know why most people at work have messy hair.
