So the sun worshipping has caught up with me and I'm now witnessing my skin peeling from my shoulders and upper arms. I know, too much information, but in the essence of investigatory self-journalism, these are important events to chronicle. It's really gross. Okay, I'm done now.
I've been in Pattaya since Sunday night, enjoying a very laid back few days of doing not much...Saw Bourne Ultimatum, which was fabulous and sat on the beach for a few hours today reading my book (Lolita by Nabakov...wonderfully twisted mind he had). I did get up to some fun yesterday, I went to the Nongnooch Botancial Gardens, which was home to some beautiful flora and fauna that I photographed endlessly (orchids up close are quite incredible). AND I got my photo taken with a couple of crazy orangutans who were very touchy feely (the smaller one laid a big wet one on my cheek!). I've tried to upload the image...fingers crossed. And there was an elephant entertainment show where the beautiful creatures showcased the traditional habits of playing soccer, basketball, darts, and of course riding bicycles. I felt bad for them, but the handlers didn't have any of those metal poking rods I'd seen used on ellies before...plus they did a happy dance when they'd score a goal, so you gotta think they're having some fun. On my tour was a nice family from Kazakstan, and they were very not Borat-like at all (Blonde haired and blue eyed and no mention of the sexy-time whatsoever). This trip is definitely breaking down the stereotypes in my head!
I'm spending time in the shop, hanging out with Koi, my uncle's sister-in-law who's a hoot and a half...and the maid's baby, Sandhya, who's about 6 months old and smiles when she sees me...she's a button :)
Anyhoo, too ta loo!
