ok...this one deserves it's own blog. last night, we were walking around, outside of the city moat. it started to rain, so we ducked into a rasta-themed bar for a chang beer. we began talking with a couple from the states.

Here we go again! This time Peru and Ecuador. We are going to try ourselves beyond the tropical paradise of SE Asia! This time we have packed for 10,000 feet Andes, snow-packed volcanoes, as well as for the Amazon. It was very hard to pack light! We are going to trek in the Andes, hopefully making to the top of Machu Picchu; taking a boat down the Rio Madre De Dios in the Amazon; soaking in the Ecuadorian landscapes; all the wile eating new and exciting foods! ...ah, and drinking their beer! ... full info

So, this is how it works: all of the merchandise (food) is on a canoes. Each lady has something different to eat (cooked foods, fried, beer, fruit, veggies)...if you are floating by one of the ladies and you want to buy something, and she is a couple of canoes away, you simply stop the canoe next to you, yeal to the lady, and food and money is passed on for you through the canoes inbetween. You can also use a hook to pull the canoe next to you. Also there are small baskets on long pols where the lady can reach your canoe with. All and all, if you want it, they will find a way to get it to you!

We did not know what to expect there....but this is a Thai, local relaxetion park, where they go to relax, boil eggs in the spring, eat and enjoy their stinky snacks!

This the the main Hot Spring- those baskets are filled with eggs, yes, eggs! that will be tasty snacks in 90 degree weather!

This little girl was SO CUTE! She was cooking those poor eggs for at least 30 minutes! Well done!

SNAP INTO A SLIM JIM.) sucha asian thing ... the whole barbaricness of it so tribal! in hawai'i cock fighting (hawaiians call "chicken fight") is a major MAJOR sport. illegal~but in hawai'i it's low pro understood cultural thing. nikki's brother inlaw bobbie has 20 chickens. sounds like a great show and how scary ... dorota on the micro-phone! i'm sure she did some damage! ;) i might say that i might even be down to box someone if i attended. hey ... what can i say, it's the asian girl in me! more good stuff please. aloha from america~ c
