RE: Random Monday's: Happy Chinese New Year from Bangkok
Two weeks for New Year? In Europe everybody would be knocked out for the rest of the month...
The sweets look awesome.. I'm just a vegetarian, not vegan, but I think I would love it, too =)
It seems as you had a very great day... sometimes its a good choise to let the laptop closed for a day!
It is long, but its the main holiday of the year.
What would you prefer two weeks for New Year and very limited holidays after that or like in most European countries (on average) having the 20 days personal holiday and 8 public holidays?
There is very much a working mentality in Asia. For example, in Thailand working for the public sector you would only get 8-12 personal holidays per year (depending on your level), but there are around 14 public holidays scattered around the year. It's quite shocking and we wouldn't put ourselves through that.
The sweets and the shakes are delicious. It is amazing that they are vegan. We are not vegan nor is Sam vegetarian, however we are implementing/trying to have more vegan meals. It's a slow adjustment with one meal a week so far :)
We got caught up in the excitement of Steemit and we still are, but we know there needs to be a balance to ensure we are not consumed by it all. Still finding that balance. In time and hopefully you can too!
last year I had the first time 30 days holiday plus the public holiday (before this I worked in a restaurant, just 20 days holiday and working every public holiday double)... I was shocked about all this freetime 🤪 but I used it in a wise way: traveling
I think if you try vegan food you discover so much new things, thats amazing!
Lucky you for last year with the 30+ holidays. We bet you did travel and traveled a lot!
In a way, Sam is dreading working again after his masters as he wants to stick out here in Asia as he wants to give it a go. He is dreading it because of the 'work only' mentality. However, if we stick it out for a full year or two, we believe the experience would be invaluable for when we do decide to move on. We'll see when it comes around.
You do discover a whole variety of new discoveries. Nutritional Yeast?! It's used to make vegan cheese (with blended cashews and a few other things)...who knew that...but it's freakin' expensive here! That's the challenge we face if we want to make our own.
do make it by your own its always the best solution... then you also exactly know what is in =)
Exactly! No hidden surprises ;)
EXCEPT YOUR OWN 😂😂😂
