Whats Up Tiger Lily

As we start to get settled in here in Ton Sai we have noticed a few recurring themes. Theme one is monkeys and cats, they are fucking everywhere and they do hilarious things. Yesterday there was a little kitten stalking a monkey, the kitten made a noise and the monkey turned around and threw a piece of fruit at it and ran away. Another theme is every one is really relaxed. Things get done slowly the people here are friendly and laid back and it is contagious. The last and so far only negative part of our trip is the trash. It is as ubiquitous as the monkeys and cats but not nearly as adorable. The area that we are staying in gets much of its charm and laid back life style from the fact that it is hard to get here and it is really hot. This also means that it is hard to get rid of trash and the huge poorly hidden piles of sometimes burning trash really stinks. The locals certainly realize the problem but don't have the resource to do much about it. Its hard to tell how much the average tourist things about it but the bars and restaurants have started putting up info about it. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much Zach and I can do about it other than throw away as little as possible and pick up the trash that we see. Well on a lighter note today was our first day off climbing. We spent the day reading, getting massages, and playing chess. Well the sun is about to set and I am going to go out on the porch with a cold drink and watch it go down over the huge limestone cliffs.
