@sri lanta

ho ho...

am now at koh lanta yai. that's the big lanta island. where is it? very few know where it is but that is well and good for us.

i am now taking advantage of the free internet service at the lounge of sri lanta after i have asked the husband to go watch his king's speech being shown on tv. sri lanta is a pretty nice rustic place, almost like a packaged place for the overgrown backpacker. not that we are now or those who stay here..

the connection's v slow here so i'll try to make it as brief for now.

we are not in india, because of more than many reasons. we had TWO plans for india. the second was the glider plan which got cancelled only a few days before we were to set for it. got a call from the india side that the weather was unsuitable due to a freak extension of the moonsoon..oh well..

so therefore here we are in the kingdom of siam.

koh lanta is a nice place. not very convenient to get here but well worth the trip if you plan for a relaxing and easy holiday. its a muslim island so halal food is very easy, just right out at the doorstep. there are no go-go bars, no katoeys no ladyboys. no touts to hassle you. its laidback but exciting enough with many beach cafes with fire twirlers and fireshows to keep you warm on a chilly night by the beach like tonight. it reminds me a bit like perhentian only with a lesser beach and koh phangan only with a more genteel and mature crowd. and no fullmooning of course here.



ciao for now :)
