Went to the live food markets today were they sold EVERYTHING you could imagine. In true Thai style all was still wriggling including the prawns (and they had no water! :-/ ). Turtles, Eels, Catfish, Frogs, Chickens allkinds. They would of sold the dog for 10 bob. I asked some woman how much for a 2 foot turtle she said a fiver! 2 week old fish heads were on sale today aswell if you fancied them. Stunk. Went to some monuments and temples and got a phone for our ma's sakes...Hung about in some cafes and bars and recuperated from the sights of the markets.
Got as much sleep as I could but Gem decided with it being chinese new year today she would get up early and go and join the party spirit at 8:30. Turns out it didn't start til I got out of bed (11ish :-)). Same deal as the one back home really except with wild monkeys everywhere and LOADS of fire crackers. Watched the display then pottered round really just waiting for the hell train to Chiang Mai at 20:15. Turns out the train werent tha bad (all 10 hours of it) just didn't sleep but....Gem didn't have a problem :-/ (Next time bring ale or somethin!).
Gem: before I went asleep for ten hours on the train hehe....it was sooo funny cos ya got these free blankets...well they were towels really but they were meant to be blankets,anyway the lights on the train went off and next minute everyone on the train put the blankets (towels) over their heads to go asleep and it looked like we were on the ghost train haha! I thought it was dead funny n laughed loads! So there's my insightful input into our blog hehe :-) xxxx
