Series of unfortunate events in Vietnam
Our trip to Vietnam didn’t start well. We were so excited to go there we couldn’t sleep the night before. We arrived very sleep deprived and extremely tired. When we got to our Airbnb location, we couldn’t find the place because the building was brand new and there were no numbers or whatsoever there.

Dadar Gulung – Indonesian Pancakes
Dadar was our favourite dish for a quick lunch on Bali. It's a green pancake with coconut filling often served with ice cream on the side. Apparently the recipe is an Indonesian take on European pancakes. The green colour comes from juices of pandan leaves. I don't think it adds to the taste, it's just a colour.

Bali, paradise with ants
Our adventure in Bali didn't start too well. Our host was supposed to pick us up from the airport. The problem was we didn't know how he looks like, he didn't know how we look like. He did have a card with my name on it, but we later found out it was written with a really thin red pen…

Is Kuala Lumpur worth visiting?
While Thailand looked like nothing we’ve ever seen before, Kuala Lumpur felt a bit more familiar in some ways and completely different in others. It’s undeniably a huge city with skyscrapers and fancy shopping malls and cars, but you can also find a lot of shacks made of corrugated steel plates and corroded and manually patched cars.

Scott’s Gardens KL airbnb
We stayed in Scott's Gardens apartment for a month. It is in a very good location between Twin Towers and Sunway Pyramid. Getting around the town was not a problem using Grab. Everywhere was relatively nearby. Location is one of the biggest positives of this place. Another huge one was the view! Amazing huge window with a view!

Kuala Lumpur – Arte+ Airbnb
After the adventures in Bangkok we were a little bit better prepared when we arrived to Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. We bought our sim card at the airport, took some cash from ATM there and ordered Grab taxi instead of those waiting already at the airport. This part was surprisingly easy. Getting to our Airbnb not so much... again.

Thailand in the eyes of a grumpy couple
We were there only a month so it's definitely not a complete list of weird and/or annoying things there. We'll surely come back there and update our thoughts about it. For now, though I have a full list of weird, annoying and funny things we found in Thailand in a month we spent there.

Thai Coconut Pancakes – Kanom Krok
Kanom Krok is a super sweet, but very nice little snack. It's so sweet it's impossible to eat a lot of it. Those coconut pancakes are crispy on top and creamy inside. Tried it on the floating market in Bangkok and loved it.

Green Papaya Salad (Som Tum)
It's a spicy but also refreshing salad that I absolutely love. When in Thailand make sure you tell your waiter you don't want it spicy. It will still be spicy for most people, but Thai serves it even more spicy for locals. When making at home obviously you can choose how much spicy ingredients you add to it.
