Indochina Day 16: Massage and Muay Thai Live!

By -
I was feeling a little better this morning despite getting a call on my phone after midnight and my alarm going off at 0330. We found a laundromat that would clean our clothes by the kilo (rather than by the article at our hotel) and went to drop off our laundry before getting a shoulder and neck massage at Health Land. We will probably go back there later. Afterward, we had lunch at Madam Saranair. The food was a mix of Thai and Italian, and our dishes were spaghetti dishes using Thai ingredients in a crock covered by a pita and baked. The flavors were tasty and the fusion of the styles came up with and interesting dish.

We then spent some time setting up the events for the rest of the week and decided on watching Muay Thai Live tonight. I was going to book online, but had to delay - and when I went back to the website, the tickets were no longer available for the day despite having plenty of seats available! So we sent in e-mail and they were able to accommodate us. On top of that, when we arrived, they upgraded our seats to front row! Score!

Sitting at the fountain at Asianic.

We took the BRT to Asianic - which is like a harbor front cum distillery type of tourist trap down by the riverside. Has a lot of small shops and restaurants and a couple of entertainment venues. This includes the Muay Thai show, which was fairly well done, much like a live action action movie or pro wrestling show. To top it off, they have two live Muay Thai matches after the show itself. Cool beans!

We were planning on going to the beach this morning but our plans got derailed when Serena stomped on Elsy's face and we had to wait for the bleeding to stop. It took so long that there was a chance we needed to go to the hospital. In the end, we thought it too risky to leave the house this morning lest the gusher started again, and so we set up the water table at home instead.

So I am used to the soft chimes that you hear in the neighborhood when the ice cream truck comes by. This year we already had three visits, mostly on cold or rainy moments of the day. This was in contrast to the infrequent visits to our old neighborhood when I was a child. In addition, we were too poor to really enjoy a cone of soft ice cream when it did show up so I never built up that sense of tradition that others would share with their children. As suck, when the truck does drive by, I don't rush out to grab a cone for my kids. Also, the pandemic does not help either. Still, maybe one day this summer we will indulge our kids. Maybe. Oh, but that was beside the point. Today I heard the ringing of a bell. This was not the sound I'm used to for an ice cream truck so I decided to investigate with Serena. As the truck drive by, I wondered to myself how such a small truck could be used to sell ice cream much less any kind of food. But then it dawned on me: this was not a food tru

So most of the family is vaccinated now. Serena is the lone outlier, and that is due to her age. Because of that, we have decided to keep her with my parents and not send her to daycare anymore until she gets both of her shots. We had pulled her out when Omicron hit this winter and was pretty hard when we tried keeping her at home, but now that Maggie is back at work we had to go back to sending her to my parents. This situation may be the norm for a while as the under five trials for the Pfizer vaccine have not gone very well. She does not really know much about what she is missing, but she really needs to build up those social skills and daycare is a great place for learning to communicate with her peers, whether physically, or virally. But with cases at the daycare every couple of weeks or so, we figure that it is best to wait just a little bit longer..
