Hi Again, Finally said goodbye to Bangkok yeterday, after going to Wat Arun, Siam Square and Wat Poh for a foot massage (it was SOOO good) So finally I'm here in Chiang Mai. After an awful 12 hour coach journey I am staying at a fabulous hostel of 200 bart a night which works out at about 3 pounds, it has a swimming pool and our room has a warm shower, a fan and our own toliet (I'm sharing with the two Irish girls I met in Bangkok). The bus journey was awful, I couldn't believe how bad it was, partly because I couldn't get my own double seat so I had to sit at the back which was ok as I was going with 4 other people so we played games (and got told to shut up but some other moody b****** on the bus) but trying to sleep upright with airconditioning that sounds louder then the bus itself was BAD! Anyway, I'm doing a Thai cooking course tomorrow then on Wednesday a 3 day trek including seeing Hill Tribes, Elephant treking and Rafting I'm really looking forward to. Where going out in Chiang Mai tonight which will make a nice changed from Bangkok (it started to do my head in a bit). Been talking to alot of guys who say I should go to the Full Moon Party which means getting back to Thailand on the 26th November, I'm SO tempted as the guys I've been talking to are FITTTT!!!! Meeeooowwww p**** cats!!!! This one guy who is American but called John and SO my type is coming on the trek, hes so cute with long hair and a tanned body to die for so I'm planning to get to know him a bit better - he he he! Anyway... I am finally going brown the P20 has stopped me burning and given me a base tan which is good as now I'm topping it up, especially after swimming all day today as it's really hot here but a better heat then in Bangkok. Sue - I can't wait to see you, so many pictures to show you and so much to talk to you about - you can only say so much in these things, I have been invited to some parties in Sydney which you'll have to come along to. Glad to hear Loui is groeing some balls, I hope his diet is going well and his stomach is shrinking. Is Brent back yet? How's work? I'll email you my bank details in a minute as I realised I haven't done that yet. Tanya - So glad your there and it's hot, I hope you have a whale of a time, it was nice speaking to you the other day, I was a bit pissed but had to wish you luck.

Caroline - WOO HOO, you've kicked the habit - well done babe, glad to hear you've got a job, you'll be a changed women when I get back, but don't change tooo much as I love your maddness and wouldn't change you for the world.

Nkems, Sarah, Monica and Tall Monica - Thanks for you emails etc, I hope you all had fun on Sarah's b'day, it was really sweet for all of you to say it won't be the same without me, give Gabe a big kiss when you see him and tell him it's from me (he'll hate me for it but nevermind, I can't help but miss him I have spent 7 years working for him).
