hello kittens - trust there has not been any unseemliness with the authorities in dubai yet, and cavity searches have not been neccessary !

have thought of a far better rare creature souvenir than panda slippers or gloves made out of the ends of snakes - i would like, instead, gloves made out of the actual hands of rare monkey's, please - simply choose your preferred nearly extinct marmoset thing at some street market, buy it for a few ngultrums or whatever, and have the stallholder remove it's hands with a sharp knife and pull out the bones and sinews and stuff - time you get back home - hey presto - monkey hand gloves !

thank you in anticipation....

Hi Ben

Have emailed you briefly as not sure when you will check this, so haven't said much!
