April 4th, we gathered at the Woodlands Regional Library in Singapore to talk about travels in Thailand, Myanmar and Vietnam. Our friends Jack, Cookie, Sue and Yan came over to do presentations and answer questions.Jack talked about the actual name of Bangkok.We had a good turnout as these places in South East Asia are visited often by people in Singapore.The National Library is a great venue as they have resources to compliment our travel topics. Yan spoke about the joys of Yangon. You must try the local tea shops when you get there. Sue explained the Burmese water festival. The Thais, Laotians and the Cambodians also celebrate this festival We had lots of interesting discussions about the history and culture in South East Asia. My own presentation was on a trip I did to Central Vietnam last year. I visited Hoi An, a lovely city. We also had some snacks and desserts from Myanmar and Thailand to try out
