Many hotels and Guesthouses in Myanmar(Burma)usually included a free breakfast in their hotel’s bill .

The Thai ‘s southern dish called Hat yai fried chicken(ไก่ทอดหาดใหญ่) is becoming a famous food in Thailand. The fried chicken is deep fried in vegetable oil until crispy and eats with sticky rice .The real difference is some fried onion that will put on the sticky rice ,when you unwrap the package again an astonishing aroma will rise up ….“ไก่” - Gai means “chicken” “ทอด” – Thod means “fry

You might see a strange machine and sight of some luggages wrapped strangely and tightly in clear plastic sheet at Hanoi's Noibai airport. The sign advertised proudly : “ For the safety of your luggage “ and the service fee is 50,000 Vietnamese Dong per piece (around 2.5 USD.) The idea is to let them wrapping your luggage with several layers of plastic sheet and any thief will stay away
