... which was choreographed to music & a sword fight on elephants. After the dancing we moved over to the Elephant Show. This was the highlight of the day. They had elephants throwing darts to a balloon dart board; they were riding tricycles; playing soccer; shooting hoops and bowling. Every time they did a trick, they would run to the audience for bananas. (You could purchase this fruit from the theatre to give to the elephants ...

... I definitely feel like I took years off my life with just that one quick boat trip.<br><br>So we got back to our "bus stop" aka side of the road where we got on to go to Pattaya. We were riding along and then all of a sudden the driver basically kicked us out on the side of the road. We had no idea where we were or what to do. We started with our usual gesturing routine and got a saeng tow to take us to Walking Street, the main club street in Pattaya. We ...

I have to say I've seen some pretty interesting things here in Thailand so far. Examples being: not quite dead fish at a market for sale, riding side saddle on a motorbike, people wearing white powder on their faces, high school girls wearing tight, short skirts and high heels to school everyday. However, the 4 pieces of laminated paper on the back of the bathroom stalls in the women's room at my school may be the most interesting...or at least the most ...

... 6) for the visit and the medicine. I didn't even turn it in." And of course, for little things like malaria or strep throat, you just go to the pharmacy and get antibiotics over the counter. Likewise for birth control pills, viagra, valium, Retin A for acne, etc. Most pills (even aspirin, decongestant, etc.) are sold in blister packs of 10, so they are cheap per tablet to begin with plus you only buy minimal amounts at one time.<br><br>Add to that the ...

... it all by drinking in a bar without strippers or lap dancers, we listened to excellent live music, we played some pool and identified out the lady boys. Happy Days all around! (Right Phill?x) Yesterday, Mart took us for Sunday lunch to a place 5 Min's drive out of Jontiem and the bar resembled the Trav's in Rhyd-Y-Fro! The food was Ohhhhh my god, perfect! It's been so long! Large portions, cooked to perfection. Phill managed to devour it in what seemed like 2 ...

... me. Mark was a great help, he calmed me down, told me not to stress and gave me an idea of what I needed to do. It's all done now, seemed to go ok, now I have a great big pile of marking waiting for me tomorrow morning.   I was away this weekend as well, but I'll tell you about that during the week when I post the photos.   Happy New Year!   Love and hugs from Bangkok!   Louise xxx p.s. check out the pictures on picasa http://picasaweb.google.com/loui se.maclean 

... large mother pig. And then, in the neighbouring cage, there were piglets dressed in tiger skin shirts running around with a full grown tiger! As well as observing the animals, there are also a number of shows that you can watch for no extra charge. Our first show was "Amazing Circus" which was a kind of Big Top show. It started with an act by an intelligent pig that was able to successfully sort coloured pegs into the correct coloured boxes. I guess this proves ...

... even found this to be the case in somewhat-tame Singapore as well as everywhere else we traveled. It is particularly nerve racking when youfre cruising down the highway at 60 miles and hour in bumper to bumper traffic and these little one seater motorcycles fly between you and the car next to you with a father driving and his wife behind him holding an infant up in the air. Insane! Bed Supperclub had a hefty cover charge but it included two ...

... lush garden, in the middle of Bangkok.  Our hotel was right next to one of the many massive malls in Bangkok.  Kelly and I went there for dinner at a pizza place with a salad bar.  It sounds so stupid, but when you haven't eaten at a salad bar in over a year, a salad bar can be quite exciting.  Then it was back to the hotel to wait for my folks and two of my brothers, Devan and Ethan.  They finally arrived at about 3:30 in the morning.  They looked beat... but they looked great too ...

... since. 5. He got asked to be in porn when he was back in Minneapolis; apparently he had the goods to deliver. 6. I was the first person whom he had told he liked men as well as women, as in he's "bi-sexual." Full-on Lies: 1. He owned 10% of Hooty's, the female strip club he took me to, although at one point during the night he asked me to pay for a round of drinks because the owner told him he had surpassed his bar tab, even though he said he could afford to pay for everything ...
