1. Direct from my family mission.... Sorry if I repeat what many of you may have known already but it's something quite new for me and this is the healthcare system here.
After my niece had her baby, two persons visited her. The first is a midwife who makes 2-4 home visits to see how the mother's health has been after giving birth plus having a blood test for the baby.
The second one is a health visitor who makes one visit to see how the overall well-being of mother and baby are. I met with both and quietly observed them in action. The health visitor was with my niece for about 45 minutes, asking her many questions from her own health, the baby and his big brother, especially the reactions of the brother with his baby brother.
After the health visitor's visit, my niece will go to see health visitor(s) at her local health visiting service center instead, for the period of 5 years, for health checks and advice plus group support.
The system led me to think that it helps strengthen mother and child health at the very beginning for any early warning signal much more easily. I also like the idea of decentralization to make it conveniently accessible.....in my niece's case, it's just like 10 minutes' walk from home.
2. Don't ever use paper map kaaa! Since I came, I saw only one middle aged couple use it.
What about me ror ka? Hae! Hae! I have necessary apps to survive, especially google map and citimapper. My big challenge is that my map reading skill is extremely low and you could guess what I had to go through when exploring new areas on my own!
My tip is to look for younger people and ask for help ka....5555!
3. Dim sum at a one-Michelin star restaurant sounds exciting. I guess it wasn't as good as expected. The service was professional yet I couldn't help but feel it was kind of mechanical....not really touching na ka.
Its signature menu offered more than enough food to eat so what happened was we had quite a bit left but they didn't have a take-home policy. I happened to have a little clean plastic bag with me so the remaining food would be a great meal for my Fulbright alumni later ka.
I asked my niece and nephew-in-law if all the fine dining restaurants have this policy. They said it was risky to allow people to bring the leftover home because there could be a case when people got sick after having the food at their places. One of the causes could have been from leaving the food outside for far too long and the restaurant was vulnerable to be sued!
More from Bangkok ka!
