KL - This is a cool place to eat everything babi (pork).     The restaurant posters and wall graffiti is humorous and will surely bring a wink on your face. funny sign Lime with Lemongrass freeze slices of pork on french loaf sinfully french fries topped with cheese and pork Charcoal bread with pull pork nice posters  Their pork menu are expensive but very creative.   It was a good dining experience.

KL - I heard many good reviews of this MUD the Story of Kuala Lumpur and went with Donny and Edward to watch this musical performance about Kuala Lumpur.   It was located at KL old court house a row of historical buildings preserving Malaysia's rich cultural heritage. The actors was very engaging and involved the audience in their performance.   The audience had to dance, cook and act in some of the part but it was really good.   The actors voices was so good that it crosses my mind many times that it might be a pre-recording but it was their real voices singing.   The dance, singing and acting was very good and exceed my expectation. The cast of MUD musical That's us on stage with the cast At the encore we were all asked to come on stage to dance with them and then a photo session with the cast.  An hour of time well spend.

Seoul - It was really good to meet up with an old friend - Chae who now lives in Seoul.   He took me along Yoido across the bridge to view the beautiful Cherry Blossom.   There were many people both locals and tourist along the long stretch of Cherry blossom boulevard.   It was a beautiful sight.   The city created an atmosphere by blocking a small artery road with street performances and hawkers selling Korean snacks.   As weather was a cool 15 degrees celcius but sunny and I did not bring my jacket along.   crowds of local and tourist gazing at the flowers Chae and me Bibimbap My lunch was cold beef Bibimbap and it was delicious and good....and stroll back to the hotel was all the exercise I needed to close the 10,000 steps a day.

Seoul - I booked a Korean popular performance 'The Painters: HERO" and went with my channel partners and Youngjin.   The Painters Hero is an innovative non-verbal performance that stages the entire process of painting combined with incredible visual effects and a witty blend of mime, dance and comedy.  The performance was located at a historic location in downtown Seoul Cinema. The performance starts at 5pm and I was surprised that the theatre was packed with mostly tourist from China.     The 4 performers was talented and can dance, paint and entertained at the same time.  It was an enjoyable and laughable show. All the paintings were drew by the performers with rare talent.
