Elin packing for Chang Mai the northern parts of Thailand. This is where we have begun our journey and where we currently are. Elin is so lovely when she was packing going through everything again and again making sure that everything necessary was included and packed. Well I'm not the one to speak since I had to do the same but a couple of days before her. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

Here is Elin eating her last favourite meal; Hokkien Mee. A very emotional moment for her... definitely a dish I recommend if you are traveling to Singapore. They tend to differ a bit in the taste from place to place but overall really good !  

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Here Elin took me to Arab Street in Singapore that was small corridors of charming shops and buildings along the road. Here we looked around and tried on some clothes but we didn't buy anything. 
Traveling from Sri Lanka to Singapore is a chock in prices! It is so much more expensive in Singapore which is  obvious if you think about it but nevertheless a chock!  I will do all of my last shopping in Sri Lanka, because I can't afford shopping in Singapore. 
 
 
Chang Mai
 
 
 
 

 

A happy Elin on our first day in Chang Mai, we arrived in the afternoon so we occupied ourselves with walking and trying to locate the features of the city. Here Elin bought a fruit for me to try but it did not fall into my taste so Elin got to finish it. 

 
 
 
 
 

The map of Chang Mai, we live within the old town which is surrounded by ancient walls and moats. A charming place that has a lot of tourist friendly activities and what I love most of all is that the town is adapted and structured so that people can walk around! Everywhere there are cosy restaurants and shops, a bit different from Sri Lanka!

 
 
 
 
Here is my officially first Pad Thai which was delicious!
 
 
 
A bit after the late lunch and a lot of walking we found a small café that specialise in Asian coffee. The man that had started this café is so nice and friendly! He has helped us with tips on what to do in Chang Mai, where to eat, where to print etc. and his coffee! There are no words ! I have never tasted soo good coffee in my life, and I drink a lot of coffee at home in Sweden, tried different coffees in Sri Lanka , Singapore, but this coffee is outstanding. RECOMMEND!!! 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Walking on the food market in the evening.
 
 
 
 
 
My fist sticky rice , amazing ! 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The evening ended with a passion fruit Mojito at the "party" street, that we didn't know existed.
