Found on our doorstep.

Snake soup for dinner.
Sabrina wants some, Jamie is not so sure. Sabrina is odds-on favourite to win. Watch this space for furry photographs sure to be appearing soon. Meanwhile, following some laughably desperate empire-building at the volunteer centre, Sabrina has decided to join the field workers and start work at the boatyard project: http://www.tsunamiboatproject.com/
Jamie has done a remarkably good job at not hurting himself, managing a full three days in a row before slicing his leg on some metal strips. Photos not necessary.
In other news:
Jamie played in a football match where the 'farang' (foreigners) beat the villager of Tap tawaan 4-2, despite playing for 35 mins against the wrong opposition and getting very tired. A party followed in which the wives of some elder village women got jealous of husbands dancing with volunteer girls resulting in public fisticuffs. Amusing, but ultimately put an end to the party.
A series of tough days sunbathing and swimming meant that when the 31st came round, it was all a bit of a shock. Dates had become irrellevant and - convinced that it was the 30th - a night with a masaman curry and King Kong was planned. Imagine the surprise when the party invites came in. Still, a shower, some make up (on Sabrina you understand) and a cheeky vodka kick-started the eve.
Since arriving in Khao Lak, one eatery has been frequented regularly - Weerapat's Kitchen. It's the cheapest, freshest, friendliest joint in town and was naturally the choice destination for N.Y.E. And yet still they out-did-themselves by rustling up a huge tasty Thai spread, handing out the beers and declaring it all to be free! Much vodka, fireworks and lantern-lighting saw out the night.
Oh, and another thing:
HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone!
