hey guys in chiang mai now. to recap after the fun party night where i did too many shots, that night there was a bust up with the boys and tong so they ahave basically quit the tour i mean the 3 18 years from daaawn south we were kinda in the middle of nowhere so we was slightly concerned that they were never going to make it to chiang khong to hit the border crossing etc but it turned out when we got wifi on our arrival they had beat us there even though we left them in bed. shame n them. they manged to get a speedboat to the border then made friends and got ont he bus straight to chaing mai with them so at least they made it. weird without them tho as they are the naughty boys of the trip. dr pete is good as gold always talking about bowel surgery and boob jobs. when we got to chiang khong our hotel had a pool so we went for a lush swim swim my hotel room was like a thai prison ooh deary it was canny scaru but it was actually 'designer' yeah right. i have my own room now the boys ave ditched us tho so double bonus for me as its nice having ur own space its intense being with the same people for 24/7. the next day we then went to chiang mai, on the way we went to the modern temple in chaing rai - Wat Rong Khun or White temple. it was the most beautiful temple i have ever seen its all white and sparkly please google it. we also met the artist who designed the whole thing by change he was doing some repaire work and started chatting to us but we didnt realise it was him until afterwards when we ssaw his face all over the books in the gift shop. he was a lovely man and amazingly talented. the modern temple inside has pictures of the twin towers, soer man, kung fu panda. even elvis is there!! super cool. also george bush is portrayed as the devil. clever man indeed. we then contuniued our trip and we got to chaing mai another pool hotel yeeeey!! hapydays indeed. also chaing mai has a mcdonalds which made me happy i almost cried. i plan to go after thisblog entry in case your intrested. we went to tiger kindom in the afternoon. me brydie janine and anna paid to do the smallest, small and big tiger pics. the smallest ones we 3-5 mnths and sooo naughty kept snarling at janine and scaring me and brydie. i was on edge the whole time. we paid for professional phtos which iv not seen yet but i have the discs for all 3 tiger cages so im excited to see how good they are. i must have fearing looks on a lot of them. the next small ones were 5-7 months and they kept fighting which of course led to more fear, butwhen we went in to the big one there was 3 of them and i think they were only 18 months bug HUGE!! they were amazing i got to lie on them and hug away and no fear as they are so chilled out. totally luh expeience tho as such beautiful animals. totally gorgeous. we also got covered in tiger wee which was funny and then one also pumped in our face which stunk really really bad funnily enough.
on the night time we went to the night bazar market. i got myself a new camera as mine with the cracked screen was stressing me out as i couldnt change the settings anymore so got myself a canny good one for 40 quid, bargain and its got a warrenty from a real camera shop. we then we to watch the free lady boy show. which was bloody brilliant they are really good and very entertaining. much better than the ones that come to town,there was also a nice spicy rice which in tong speak means hot thai. he wasnt dressedas a women either but he did look slightly gay in his gold sequin pants. we hit the vodka red bulls which went down a treat we then ended up dancing on stage with the lady boys of course. please google gangnam style its a song which is our holiday song we know the dance too obviously so we did that on stage several times we are super cool backpackers. after then psojng with the lady boys and some of being groped alot by them (dr pete) we then went to a roof top bar which wawicked. i especially liked how many cockroaces were on the floor - we were sitting on the floor! nice and nice. we played some drinking games then went to another bar where we bumped in to the young lads!! i was so happy i hugged them all i million times it was lush to see them. canny bairns indeed!! we then partied all night until 4am maybe?
this morning brydie rudley woke me up by telling me it was 12 check out time. it was 9 and her and janine made me go to the pool and it wasnt even open i am now soo tired. ad a overnight sleeper train with a disco on it tonight whoop on our way to bangkok then its our last night there as a group. me brydie and janine are having a extra night there to party all night and then janine is coming travlling with me until around the 13th maybe befre she heads to malayaisa then australia she has almost convinced me to not buy a house when i get home and just travel the world with her... were also offically friends now apparently so i am one lucky girl haha. shes just booked her flight to samui so we have a kinda plan. cant wait to hit koh tao for tattoos and motorbikes (sorry mam sorry dad)

We went out on saturday and I spent all day yesterday dying. My hangovers get worse as the day goes on. I remmebr my asai trip, been out all hours and no hangovers. When did I get so old...............
Ahmed So how could travel 3.0 look like? Maybe wiwodrlde access to places to stay privately? Sponsoring the less fortunate with tourist dollars by staying at their homes and in the process really getting to know the local culture? Or will it just be an even richer internet experience than is offered now with 2.0?
