Sunday snooze day comes to you on a Monday.
I received the infamous ‘Bali Belly’ from eating street food at a local vendor, which is something I always do and this is the first time I have had the joy of food poisoning in my 11 years of living and travelling in Asia. Lucky me. A few charcoal tablets later, still fragile, yet with the ability to concentrate - here are the snippets I found.
From this wonderful experience of Bali Belly, I found this article by National Geographic. It is estimated that 30-70% of travellers will obtain food poisoning on their travels, even if you think you have an iron stomach (that’s me), you never know when it will creep up on you.

Vegan(ism)
For some reason, this week, the subject of veganism came up in conversation more than once. Questions of just how beneficial it is for our bodies, whether is it REALLY practical for the environment, and what are the long-term pros and cons of it. Randomly popping up on the food articles I sift through, a well-suited piece on the Oreo Cookie came up.
Mimi Sheraton
As I focus more on my writing, I am trying to diversify my reading to gain insight into a variety of writing styles, and genres to upgrade my vocabulary and creativity. There is no denying that the world lost an iconic food critic and writer, Mimi Sheraton.

ChatGPT
As a writer and a creative, I do see that AI can definitely help us all and save time on work projects and school assignments. This article related to ChatGPT used to write fortune cookie fortunes was an interesting read and allowed me to jump into the rabbit hole on the history of the fortune cookie.
Closing up my laptop now to go and enjoy the rest of the sunlight that is left here in Bali, only 4 more days until I leave - where will I be next?
