So we walk into a bar...

I could seriously get used to this life. I'm at my Ashu Uncle's resort home in Hua Hin, it's been 3 days of rest, relaxation, and lots of red wine. We got here from Bangkok on Friday night and had a delicious dinner with the family (and a couple of Danish customers of my Uncle- a very nice lady with a name I can't pronounce and a man who is the very essence of sarcasm and quite entertaining with one-liners).

After dinner, Ashu took us out to the bar a the Hilton- that was hilarious...partly because I've never partied with an Uncle before (albeit he's very young at heart and refuses to get old, much to the amusement of his wife) and partly because it was filled with many peculiar people. It's quite uncomfortable to see the old European men trying to keep up with their escorts dance moves (I have never seen hips move like that). Well, when in Rome...I just sipped my drink and kept dancing to the funky wu-tang like live band...they sang that popular hip hop Punjabi song, it was a riot. We got home very late and had a solid night's sleep (the first in many, many, many days). When we got up (at 2!), my Aunt suggested we go into town for massages, so I got a 2 hour massage, that was fantastic...and my masseusse was a blind woman! We came home, and had a bbq that lasted for 5 hours over many glasses of red wine...quite a lovely night.

Today we swam in the pool (one of those cool infinity ones) and we're heading to the village market shortly. I can't believe how quickly time is passing...we're going to go to Krabi tomorrow and island hopping, then probably up to Pattaya where Ashu has another home, then Bangkok...only 12 days left...I might just have to extend my ticket...
