Chinese New Year has come and gone.. it was very uneventful in Bangkok this year as we are still mourning the death of the King's sister (dressing in black and white and no festivities). We did have a dinner party at home for twelve friends (Phil's leaving for Spain for a few months - I know.. any excuse for a get-together). A great night was had by all and only ended at 3am.. felt the effects (getting old!). 
Isla arrived from her trip around Asia the same day. We had a
fantastic few days together doing some retail therapy, much to Amandio's anguish :-) Chatuchak market, Suan Luam (night market) and China Town were our favourite haunts, splashing out (modestly) on new bikinis, sun dresses, tops and cotton trousers and several necklaces and earings..oops! She has now gone to Koh Lanta for some sun and beach therapy taking the sleeper train there, which by all accounts is a very safe and relatively comfortable way to travel on a budget. She is coming back next Thursday for one night before joining her mother and sister in India - what a life! :-)
Today is Valentines Day so for all you romantic lovers .. have fun
:-) We don't really play along with the marketing ploy that marks and has ruined the tradition of this day.. afterall, shouldn't a woman get flowers and special attention ALL the time! LOL.
My private lessons are going really well and the ladies have decided to up each lesson to 2 hrs.. which means four hours a week 'che-ching' (how do you spell that!!?). Speaking of which gotta go prepare my lesson for this afternoon and tonight.
