Crab Festival

Last night we went to the Crab Festival at Cha-am beach. On the table in front of us were 1 man 2 little girls and 5 women. I can assure you the only females sat there were the 2 little girls. Still time yet for them to decide. I couldn't take any pictures, I felt embarrassed. Maybe next time.

Back Home

After 2 weeks in very noisy China what do we find on our return. The man along to road has rented his house out to about 10 Chinese.
Back in the UK soon as we have to see a thieving b*****d out of our house. You know who you are.

Wenzhou

While we were in Wenzhou Jess thought it a good idea to go for a gentle walk. Before I realized we were at the foot of a mountain. It was NOT a gentle stroll but a torturous climb to the top. I guess it was worth it but I've done it now so I don't have to do it again. We were actually above the skyscrapers. Without oxygen.

They were not doing this for money. Just enjoying themselves I guess??

How to cross the road.

Find a crossing, close your eyes hands together in prayer and walk.

Life Savers

Two things kept me going in China, here's one as I can't use chopsticks. I thought you put them in your hair.


The other thing I'm embarrassed to say was Mac Donalds.

Would you.

I guess it doesn't matter when you are 477.69 meters up. 100 stories.

Tallest building

We went up the tallest building in Shanghai, it was a bit scary looking down through a glass floor. It was a bargain though, people over 60 (and no I am not) get in for 1/2 price. As they write the dates differently, and when they are born they are one, I thought I would try it so I passed my passport over and she gave me a half price ticket. Oh dear does that mean I look a lot older than I am?????? (I guess that's what 2 weeks in China does to you).

Good name for a restaurant

Takeaway anyone?

Food

I just couldn't bring myself to try this.

I want one of these

This is what every bike owner needs, a built-in umbrella.

SIGNS

Two signs found in our bathroom in Shanghai. If they do take over the world we will NEVER understand what they are talking about.

CHINA

Ok back from China, thank God. It was so noisy, everyone shouts. Everyone is on their mobiles. Everyone is in a hurry, pushing shoving no manners at all. The spitting is incredible. I got spat at by a lady of about 70. Dirty pig. Everybody stares as if westerners have two heads. I had to keep checking my nose. We did meet a few nice people, mostly Jess' friends who I guess are used to working with foreigners. We also got invited to a Hawaiian birthday party, couldn't dress up though no time to make anything, shame. A good night was had by all. The only good thing we found about China was they don't like to be tipped, taxis restaurants etc. What makes you think  I'm glad to be back in Thailand.
