Hello Folks,

Thought i'd fill you in on recent events. Andrew has succesfully aquired a work permit, and is now working on opening a Thai bank account.

We have also arranged our new perminant apartment. Its nestled in the photo (somewhere!) and even has a full size tennis court on the roof. www.legacybangkok.com Its a brand new development, so new infact the pools not finished!

I've been chilling back and soaking up the wierd and wonderful sights and smells that bangkok has to offer.

Animal count so far.

• 2 Elephants
• 1 Tortoise - going at some speed i might add!
• 2 rats - Eeek
• several Cochroaches - Urgh

Also some of things the people eat are just bizzare, Today a man in the park was eating, what i can best describe a 'green hair' in a pancake roll. Lord only knows what that was.

Last night we were invited/ gate crashed an Aussie Chamber of Commerse 'do'. It was held in Bangkok's ocean world. We were there to ultimatly network, but failled miserable as we were both far too interested in the food (yum mini pies!) not to mention the sharks, fish, pengiuns, Turtles and all the other Wierd Aquatic creatures we could feast our eyes on. On a personal note i even touched a snake, that was a total first for me, and i'm really rather quiet proud.

Right i'd better to wrap this up, weather is hot. Had a few showers but none of those tropical down pours you get in rainy season. Andrews been work hard and is definatly making progress cracking the Thais. I'm still in Visa limbo but i am working on that.

Hope you are all well, take care.

P.s Happy Chinese New Year to you all!
