Back to Bangkok with a bang!

We started in Bangkok - now we're ending in Bangkok!


SO much has happened in between!


We arrived a couple of days before our flight - just so we could sort out our shipping and do some last minute shopping.


On one such shopping trip, we noticed a Mr Singh and his wife - so naturally we rushed over to say hello. Turns out he lives 5 minutes away from us in London and moreover, his daughter was in the same class as Gurcharan! Another example of how small the world really is. You may never meet people that live 5 minutes from your home and you will end up meeting them miles away from home. It was wonderful to meet them and we ended up spending a whole day with them. They we're great company!

Manav, Bobby, Raj Uncle, Aunty, and the 'UK Couple'

Later that evening we were fortunate to dine with another very good mate of ours - Bobby. That's not all, the great Manav SIngh also gave us the pleasure of his company. Manav has his own blog where he posts dilruba lessons! He is a very good dilruba player himself. We only know him through his blog - it was good to meet him in person! (infact, he is single and very good looking hint hint!!!hehe!) ;o) It was quite the party - Manav took us out for some midnight ice cream treat at a 'cool' funky ice cream parlour. I had a ferrero rocher and nutella ice cream! mmmm! they even had...DURIAN ICE CREAM!!!! can you believe that! yuck!

Hi Gurcharan & Preet

Great to see you've continued to enjoy your adventure! We didn't receive a text from you on our Thai mobile but that may well be due to the type of chip we had as messages sent from London weren't received either. I tried to email you using the address you gave but it kept getting rejected so perhaps I've got a digit in the worng place (i've been told about that problem before)! We cut our trip short because Goa was so hot and have just returned to London. We had a great time but it's nice to be back with the family.
Do keep in touch and lets get together when you return and have had time to get back to normality.
