I can&...A Chiang Mai local stumbled upon your blog. I can't read Japanese so I have to use Google translate. Hope it did its work. <br /><br />After reading all your post I'm glad to know that you seems to enjoy your time in TH. Anyway sorry for some inconvenience you might encounter during your time here.<br /><br />The black desert you ate is what we derive from Chinese. I don't know if it was available in JPese cuisinebut here it's quite common. The black jelly you ate is made from a type of plant. The name of the plant in chinese is 草粿 (cǎo guǒ). The name in English is grass jelly ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grass_jelly )<br /><br />A little info very few outside TH know. There is a yearly tradition for Chiang Mai University students esp. freshmen which was practiced since it was established in 1964. On any specific day, students will walk 14 kms (including the path in the campus) up the road to Doi Suthep to pay respect for the temple up there. There's only one rule: leave no man behind. If you friend tired, you have to help. If your friend is disabled person, you have to push his/her wheel shair. If you friend cannot walk, you have to carry him/her.<br /><br />The ceremony gain more and more attention countywide each year. Below are some clips/news from the past 2 years trekking. Also a blog by a tourist.<br /><br />http://wander-lush.org/chiang-mai-university-doi-suthep-temple-thailand/<br /><br />https://www.facebook.com/teammorchor/videos/481998295506680/<br />https://youtu.be/tAeuN8t7tP4<br /><br />https://youtu.be/EKoYxSDQKdc (For this vid you can hit Cc for subtitle)<br /><br />https://www.bangkokpost.com/learning/advanced/1084301/shorty-the-dog-leads-chiang-mai-university-up-doi-suthep<br /><br />TH is not different from every places. We have good and bad things, also good and bad people. Hope you see the first ones wherever you go.<br /><br />Sorry for any typo. I always do them. Be our guest again any time.
