while reading a food magazine the other night...

i chanced upon an article about cookery schools in Chiang Mai, Thailand, where the writer reviewed 2 schools, one for the budget traveller and one for the high-end tourist. i was so intrigued that i went to the website of the cheaper one and am now really interested in going there... if i did a 5 day course, it will only cost me about S$220 and i'd get to learn so many cool things (like how to make thai curry paste from fresh ingredients - WOW!) and this school has been recommended by all the travel guides (which is impressive) PLUS they teach you about substituting ingredients when you can't get the exact stuff - VERY IMPORTANT!

so i started to do research on flights and accomodation and apparently, it won't be that expensive a trip so hey hey hey i might just do it when i get back to Singapore. :) something to look forward to... and the fact that by the time i get home, my house would have been fully renovated and i will have a swanky new bathroom! wheeee...
