Just noticed that my last post before today was December, which means I didn't cover Chinese New Year in Thailand. Apart from experiencing some of the world's most unreliable trains, we had a great time - elephants being a particular highlight (including bathing them in the river and feeding them).
We visited the old capital of Thailand and Eve had her first experience of street food (I've been trying to convince her of its benefits for some while) - a rampaging success. The concept seemed to be to create a sandwich-like dish with lettuce for bread and a fish filling. Delicious.
We met an American student that same night who had won a USD20,000 scholarship. The terms of the scholarship required her to travel the world - with one catch: she had to do it alone.
After that, we headed north on a (much delayed) sleeper train. Thanks to Eve's negotiating skills, we got a free upgrade to the jacuzzi suite. We breakfasted every morning down by the waterwheel.
