Dental implant operation

I survived the 2.5 hrs dental surgery to extract 4 molars 臼齒and put in implant screws. Now using an ice pack and waiting for the gum to heal. My friend who lives near the dental clinic kindly took me to lunch before the surgery, and let me slept over for the next day check. The implants cost 1/3 of US, i.e., the same procedure would have costed me $30,000USD in USA. After all is done, I will have  a brand new car worth of dental work in my mouth. I also want to thank Dr. Lin who connected me with dentist Dr. Ho of 33-yr experience who effectively perform the 1st stage of my 4 implants to support 2 bridges.

Classmate taxi-toured me Yangon highlights

Image
I was so happy to see my classmate since 1992 who lives in Yangon over two years. Yangon, formerly known as Rangoon, is a bustling cosmopolitan city in Myanmar (Burma). He taxi-toured me around town today to sites out of walking distances, fed me lavish meals, and helped me to get overnight bus tickets to other cities. We walked along the Kandawgyi Lake and took photos in front of the reconstructed Karaweik Palace (now a restaurant), with the gleaming Shwedagon Pagoda as background (which is a 98m gilded stupa but under repair, so we skipped it). We visited St Mary’s Cathedral, with its exterior of striking red bricks and colossal spires, is Myanmar’s largest Catholic cathedral. Beautifully maintained from 1909, the interior is resplendent with intricate patterns, enough to make it akin to the venerated cathedrals in European. We discovered a little bit of Yangon’s up and coming art scene introduced by returned overseas students. We walked...

Rangoon Tea House for Burmese foodie adventure

Image
My classmate took me to the trendy Rangoon Tea House for a Burmese foodie adventure. Tea is the way of life in Yangon, and pretty much everyone has a cup of tea, everyday. Teahouses are a place where locals gather and socialize over some snacks and a cup of tea. The Tea House has an elegant blend of classic and modern Burmese culture. Besides, the cafe has notable facilities of projector playing classic Burmese movies and music. While it borrows elements from neighbouring India, Thailand, and China, Myanmar’s cuisine is easily recognisable with its unique flavours served piping hot and fresh. We ordered Mohinga (a noodle dish smothered with a hearty fish broth and toppings available to you, such as chilli flakes and cilantro), Onnokauswe ( of thicker noodles in a thick soup of coconut milk added with chicken), Laphet thote (a salad of fermented tea leaves and a variety of nuts and sliced vege), spicy pork curry, and Burmese milk tea.
