Left on a jet plane - part 2

Rio justy had some extra time, so i'd just like to point out that my trip has since become far more interesting and 'cultural'.

Last night we we to the night market and had our dinner cooked infront of uys at one of hundreds of hawkers' stalks, which was the best funb - why don';t we have them in britain?

and today we've been out getting a final few bits and pieces (as we head off intot he jungle tomorrow) and in the mean time have tried Durian - read about it on the interent - in singapore, it's banned inside because of it's smell and when you cut it open it looks like raw chicken (Ands feels like it too). It has a tase that's singularly bizrre, and should be tried once, but probably only once.... weird stiff. We've also been drionking coconut milk out of coconuts fresh off the tree!

It's very nice here, i really like it. (for mum&Dad: it's alsmost like Kusadasi (sp?) but soooo much more humid). Plus they've very big on sea fod and have a huge set of aks next tot he restaurant where you can choose your fish (just off the boat) and they will then kill it and cook it - it couldn't get anymore freesh!
