...then we decided to walk along jalan Siam

because we wanted to cut back into the makan area again

and jalan Siam made sense direction-wise...

...and it turns out jalan Siam didn't have any crossroads at all...

...so we couldn't cut back into the makan area...

...and we had to walk the whole length of jalan Siam...

...we should have siam when we saw jalan Siam...

...cis bedebah...
