One Night in Bangkok!

Well, 3 actually…

Blarg and I are off this Saturday to spend two weeks in Thailand! We fly to Bangkok, Oriental City… and spend a few days there. Here is where we are staying:

Then we are off for 9 days on Koh Chang (photo of our hotel). We are meeting up with our good friend Cory! (G’day mate!) Here are few quick facts about the island: it located in the Gulf of Thailand 320 km south east of Bangkok, population around 5300, centre of the island is an elephant reserve (can not wait to ride an elephant!) and the name Koh Chang actually means Elephant Island.

Here is information about the Island: http://www.whitesandsthailand.com/index.asp

We are staying here: http://bhumiyama.com/home.htm

I will try and update with some photos while we are away!

PS: 3 different planes and 25 hours of travel time…is now a bad time to mention I do not like to fly?

A Romp of Otters

Did you know that a group of otters are apparently called a "romp"? Me neither. As of November 2, 2006 a Google search revealed there was at least 210 occurrences of this phrase but that the Oxford English Dictionary does not recognized it?

Did you also know that the Northern River Otter was also one of the major animals hunted/trapped for their furs during the North American Fur trade of the 1800's? Yup, the fur trade was not just about beavers my friends...sad but true.

Seriously, how super cute are these two?

Bloody Mary Poppins...

I know I am a little late for Halloween but I just have come across a truly brilliant clip on YouTube! It is a remake of the Disney Classic "Mary Poppins". Trust me, this one minute trailer is worth seeing! This is on par with another kids movie "The Watchers In The Woods"!
