November is chill in Chiang Mai, and everyone expecting for Loy Krathong.<br />
Not the hottest spot but many people were here, around iconic Iron Bridge of Ping River celebrating Loy Krathong, river was filled with floating krathong, and sky were filled with sky lantern.<br />

After flower market, we go to underground market, didn't take much photo... another typical place for market... and is a tiring day for us, hang around so many market and experience a lot on how people from this city busy for their weekend, and is a cold day... so we look for some steamboat...<br />
Mr Lee recommended us this restaurant, located at Xi Men, 天外天自助餐, after we step in only realize that is buffet, asking the price, out of our expectation for dinner, but the supervisor say give us some discount, and we also thinking that should have a nice meal as our last dinner at Taiwan... so we stay here... hehe... is glad there we choose here, food is nice, and fresh... slice meat for shabu shabu... Haagen dazs as desert... wah.... nice... also good serve to my senior travel mate... i think they eat every meal like this during their previous trip which organized by travel agent....<br />

At Hua Lian, we stay at Manado Homestay... Luxury in Bali style... mom comment this is the best homestay, nice room, pretty deco, and landscape... A homestay which really make us feel like visiting a friend.... not a commercial hotel... We like her breakfast, soya bean... Mom also remember this place with a given recycle bag... During our departure, she drop us some bag of bun, i dono type of that bun, but it tasted different than bun that i tried... she bought this from some bakery, not self make, but this is not main point... Main point is really feel like visiting a friend... and parting.... </div>

Is a holiday with not only travel, but working and living at desire location, and experiencing real living culture that you can not gain from visiting cultural center. I categorize travel planning into two, first is <b>travel with money, but no time</b>, taking package with planned itinerary and destination, taking fastest logistic in order to go as much as location with limited time, all accommodation and meal are pre-arrange, no worry on planning, just get your SD card empty, and fasten your seat belt.<br />
<br />
<div>
Some says no money to travel, which come to my second category, you can<b> travel with time, but no money, </b>with self planning, risk taking, and time consuming<b>,</b> i will say you need to have right expectation. Imperfection equal to adventure, is not a bad thing, that could be the one enlighten your memory or experience that no one else have, remember, <span style="color: blue;">Memorable trip is not only how much fun you gain, is how much you learned and inspired...</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>

Finally come to highlight of the day.... bird view on rice terraces.... All the mountain and river seem so far for pass few day is gift of god... natural scenic... but this view is effort of men... used to be the one who try to avoid from wars that always happen at flat landscape... Less competition at the mountain become a heaven for those who love peace.... but they need more effort to turn these challenges into their opportunity... Determination and passion that we should learn... nothing is impossible...<br />
