Hello

Everyone! I think it is about time again to write on Mylot. I have just noticed that I have not written a post here for almost a month. Time is really fast and February is almost gone. Well, nothing much happened in my neck of the woods. We booked for our short vacation in May. I am thinking of flying to my second home in the end of this year if everything is okay. Yesterday, I went shopping with my close friend G. I wanted to buy a smartphone as my old one was no longer updating and it went off every time I opened an app. I was glad my friend came with me as she had more knowledge about iPhone than myself. Well, I have a new IPhone now and I still have to acquaint myself of the new features. I am also glad that my friend fixed everything from transferring my photos and videos from the old to the new IPhone and putting a screen saver. I didn’t have to check on you tube what to do with my new gadget. Anyway, I realised that shopping is no longer my forte. After shopping, we went to an Asian restaurant and order Pad Thai as a reward for ourselves. Pad Thai was not an authentic Thai food. We were disappointed. It was just like a stir fried noodle with shrimps. Well, we still ate it as we were hungry. We just added Sambal Oelek to make it spicy. Anyway, do you like spicy food? Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful weekend. Bye for now.

Good to see you again. I have never had Thai food so am totally unfamiliar with it. I do have a limited knowledge of Japanese food like sushi and sashimi which I love. Which Iphone did you get? Back in late September I bought the Iphone 14 pro and I love it or rather I love the camera.

I got the 14 because of the 48 megapixel pictures I can take. Yes, I did try the cinematic but I don't think it was a good option for making videos of my pets.

@rebelann That’s great. I think the cinematic is only good for taking videos of the nature. I can’t wait to try it when walking at the lake nearby.

It is good to see you too @rebelann. My friend and I have Thai friends and so we are familiar with Thai food. I have also a limited knowledge about Japanese food. It is iPhone 13. I have read reviews before buying and so I decided to buy the 13 instead of 14.Yes, the camera is awesome. Have you tried the Cinematic option in your camera? I have and it’s great. Thank you.

@thelme55 I'm sorry what you had was not authentic though. We have excellent Thai restaurants here. Funny---I also had excellent Thai food a few years ago in Austria! If you ask me what City, I won't be able to spell it. But it's Klagen..., I think.

@TheHorse That’s okay. We don’t have Thai restaurants nearby but I have Thai friends married to Germans and so I have eaten their Thai food when they invited us. Do you mean Klagenfurt in Austria?

It is so great to read a post from you. I am glad that you are well. I will need a new iPhone before the year finishes I am afraid. The touch screen on mine is starting to act up. But when we replace our phones with our provider, they copy everything across from the old phone to the new one. That I am very thankful for because I am very technically challenged.

Thank you @Juliaacv. The same with me reading your posts. Me too. I try to stay healthy. I see that you need to have a new iPhone. My old iPhone was also starting to act badly and so I decided to buy a new one. I didn’t buy my phone from our provider. I bought it in the shop, cash. I still use the same simcard. I am also technically challenged. Before I got headache I asked my my friend to do it for me. She is good in technical things. Just imagine that she had repaired her dishwasher alone. Her husband was surprised.

It’s so nice seeing you here again. I’m glad you have your new iPhone. I’m getting one next month just for an upgrade. Our store transfers everything for us. Love spicy food! Hope you get to go home soon.

Thank you @DianneN. I feel the same seeing you and other mylotters. I am glad I bought it. I don’t think our stores set up and transfer everything to the new gadgets for their customers. They didn’t have time to explain everything what I wanted to know. I was glad that my friend was with me. Since I bought my first smartphone, my husband was setting it up, this time it was my friend. Me too but not too spicy. I hope so.

It is hard to find authentic food when we go abroad. Very far different within our home land. Perhaps because of some ngredientsare too pricey or hard to find

So true Pad Thai it's not even Thai, surely it is Chinese, Thai food is a lot more spicy.

@thelme55 When I make Pad Thai at home I add more spices, but the dish is not Thai. Do not drink water with spicy food, water spreads the eat all over your mouth, drink tea.

Really? I have tried Pad Thai cooked by my Thai friend and it was so delicious. It was so spicy that she laughed watching me drinking water while eating. My face got red because of too much spicy. Thank you @LadyDuck.

Nice to see you again. I can’t eat spicy food it messes with my stumach pretty badly and my taste buds are extremely sensitive. The weird thing is I can handle very sour foods. I keep saying I will contribute more to this site but I keep forgetting about it.

Thank you @babytaffster. Not many likes spicy food. I have eaten a spicy Korean soup for dinner and after that my stomach made a lot of noise. I guess it was too spicy for me eventhough I added more water in the description given. I can handle sour food too. Sometimes I forgot to login on Mylot.

We eat a lot of Mediterranean food which can be pretty spicy, but we can adjust that if needed. I made chili a week or so ago and had to cool it off a bit with potatoes.
