... a cricket each aswell, these were part of the banquet. Our guide told us his saying :

"Never try, never know
never drink, never drunk
never smile, never happy"

We thought it was a good saying so we ate the crickets.
During the meal i ate a very spicy chilli which put me out of action for a while but i think its raised my tolerance by quite alot. I thought it was onion. After dinner we were offered to go hunting in the jungle ...

... scrum when we charged into the middle. I finished the party making balloon animals and drawing faces on balloons, which the kids loved.

Then it was time to go about 1.30 pm - Kham Chuen dropped me off at my guesthouse and I fell asleep for two hours!

Forced myself out on my scooter for the second time in the afternoon. It took me 20 minutes (driving quite slow) to get to my school, and then I headed back a different route, took a wrong turn somewhere and and ...

... if you had your girlfriend with you and she wanted a mud spar or facial, however i dipped my feet in a hot spring pool for 15 mins before we were on our way again. Next was the cool Pa-Sau waterfall and 5 miles on from that was a fish cave. We headed back around 2ish where i booked a mini bus for my one night in Chiang Mae again before heading off to Chiang Rai the following day. The evening was made up of downloading photos to my travelpod

... I was really back in Asia and riding on rickety busses and away from the cities. I told tall tales from the trip and past trips, listened to theirs, swapped Annapurna stories and shared my amazement at how young the girl next to me on the bus looked and how cute her baby was that played with me for half the ride and how black the teeth were of the grandma Lisu woman was across the aisle who chewed beatle nut the whole way. The next day I wandered 10 or 12 km to explore a Karen ...

... children laughing and giggling by our presence. Once our guide reached the top, he then got on the back of the bike and drove off with mathew about 1/2 kilometer for Mathew to come back and get me. Once we were all at the end of the dirt road, we parked the motorbike and thats when the trekking began. My goodness, we had no idea. It would have been a good idea to have some water..... We were literatly off ...

... but this was great to actually sit right on it although they're really quite hairy and very prickly! I did do something useful one day, a Thai cooking class. It was a lot of fun, although whether or not I'll be able to recreate it at home I don't know. I have a recipe book so we'll see. First of all we made pad thai (a noodle dish) which we ate for lunch, then spicy papaya salad, then we prepared all the ...

... around pai, which is a VERY fun city to bike ride the streets in. lots of motor scooters and cars, dogs and pedestrians, all sharing the roads together. it's a cool, slow paced atmosphere with lots of life and a nice breeze when travelling on wheels. We all went back to chill in our palace, our lovely treehouse bungalow room, and then yaron left to catch his bus back to chiang mai, and we went for an oil massage, which was dirt cheap and fun. after our massage we ...
