It's rainy season here; raining almost everyday. They are usually not long, probably about 15 - 20 minutes. Thunder and lightning usually tag along, either before or after the rain.
For some reasons, there are a lot of bakeries around here. One of the common bakeries is Bread Talk. So far, I've seen them at all the malls that I have been to and the International airport. Maybe bread has become the second most consumed food here, after rice.
Bamboo shoots are part of edible ingredients here. Here's the unprocessed look of a bamboo shoot.
