Well that was fun!!
And not in a sarcastic way either.
Nathalie did call me, despite not having received my messages cos she was too busy spending a fortune in the Emporium.
Anyway, we went for a GORGEOUS meal at Crepes and Co in Sukhumvit (we all had lamb tagine with cous cous… serious levels of yumminess), then got a cab to Patpong, the red light district. We got out and walked through the markets and I wasted even more money on unpredictable-quality dvds (Desperate housewives season 3!) and a small pressie for one of my bezzie mates to cheer her up 
Oh and some enormous sunglasses so that Caroline will stop taking the piss out of my antique Ralph Lauren ones…
Anyway, after that we attempted a bar which Nathalie is familiar with but the hideous loud thumping drove us immediately back out again and on to another bar which N recommended - a kind of large open air thing. Well it was about 10 minutes of Singha beer in before I finally twigged that the music which seemed offensively loud and a bit annoying was actually a live band. This might sound a bit stupid but… when I thought it was a cd, it was just… songs I’d heard before which were good, I liked em, but too bloody loud for a bar. When I realised it was live music, the whole thing changed.
Of course, it also helps that Nathalie pointed out that one of the main male singers was possibly the most attractive man either of us had ever seen (see photo gallery imminently). So, that was the rest of our night laid out for us like a roadmap. We simply stood taking photos and almost literally dribbling onto our toes at this utterly amazingly beautiful creature who could dance like no-one else and had the most seductive smile I’ve ever seen. He knocked us off our feet.
So anyway, we played ‘groupie’ for a while and also got chatting to a Captain from Kenya Airlines who has convinced me that a group of friends and I need to have 2 weeks in Kenya at a ridiculously discounted price. Thank you very much!
I need sleep. I fell asleep in the cab on the way to the restaurant and can’t believe I’m still conscious after 2 hours sleep last night and all that bloody shopping!!
