o yah, we are pedaling from Bangkok to Singapore then flying to Indonesia and Surfing, come join us!!! let us know where and when you can meet up
Sitting down, trying to pick a meal from this 36 page menu and jesus i just can't make up my mind, it's a 50/50 toss up between the Baked Surpent Head Fish Country Curry and the Fish Intestine Curry and Vegetables. First day on the bikes, sitting in this little wooden closet of a resturant next to a blue stagnant cespool of a stream and just can not decide. Ohh come to think of it i don't really feel like Serpent Head or Fish Intestine at all. Waitress: I'll have the Spicy Fermented Egg Salad and Jungle Curried Spotted Feather Back for the lady.
Ok, i'm lying we ordered the the Fried Chicken with Cashews and the Spicy and Sour Chicken Galengal in Coconut Milk but Serpent Head, Fish Intestine, Spicy Fermented Egg and Spotted Feather Back were actually on the menu, under the 'reccomended' even, em.
Maybe it was partial delerium from pedaling our bicycles for the first time in 3 months during the heat of the day, 95 degees. But the more times i read the menu the funnier it seemed, i actually started laughing out loud. I was picturing the lockness monster, head lopped off, eyes googling out of the bowl and just a huge pile of fish guts, lightly steamed over a bed of white rice.
Some more about the heat; it was so damn hot we each drank 4 liters of water, one Sprite, one hydration drink and half an iced tea and i only urinated(i was tempted to write pissed but decided i'm more mature then to write piss in an email, piss). So hot we couldn't stop riding for if we did the cooling breeze would cease, sweat would pool up in our shoes, spilling out over the sides leaving the road greesy with sunblock and sweat and we'd then we'd slip and fall over.
"What in the F-ingHam are you two up to?" you ask. "Good question," come a reply. We are asking ourselves the same thing. Back in NH at -10F riding our Bicycles from Bangkok to Singapore seemed like quite the nice warm relaxing idea, looks like it might be more of a test then we anticipated, we like tests!
