A man named Pooh came in to our room to re load the Internet n wifi. He looked like one too,round faced and plump. Spoke like a pooh too! It takes a day to understand the "Chinese " English. They talk like my little nephew,who has just turned into a parrot. Repeats everything you say, but yet misses a few letters and syllables. Now the Thais are not a rude race at all. So when we asked our driver's name and he said a very definate "no", we were both stunned. Both of us fell back on our seats, from our upright chatty positions from just a few seconds ago. This must be happening to all his passengers. He started chuckling and showed us his card. His name was "Nok". They simply leave out alphabets n syllables. Similarly we met "chalk" though we did not meet "cheese". .. As yet!
We have a little "infiniti" pool, which hangs off the cliff into the sea. Madhur and me spent a few hours chatting and swimming. You can now call me "toasted".
I hate lays and I love wafers / crisps that are fried in true blue oil, without claiming to be "quick fried / baked and or low calorie.". If u have to eat them, to my mind, eat them. Savour the oily flavour that fills your mouth, with pure salt and black pepper. It has a satisfaction of itself. Something soul touching and memory captivating. A packet of kettle and a few beers later I was ready to do anything. Luckily they don't have cliff diving or bungee jumping on this island.
We had the most amazing dinner on top of rocks tonight. The sound of the sea just a few feet away from us, 2 bottles of wine and a deadly combination of romance and friendship.
Oohh. And the lady who served us was called " fron". U are right. I asked her " from where?"
