Even if the house we rented in Bangkok comes with some furniture, but it’s not completely furnished. There are things like air-conditioners, kitchen utensils and home office furniture that we need to buy by the time we move over. I did some rough calculation and I think we need about 30k as starter.

Money Money Money

I realized that I haven’t change the notes, so it’s going to be another banking day for me. I have to prepare the money for red packets, and don’t tell me it’s not important. It’s our custom to give free money again as blessing during Chinese New Year, so we just have to […]
