X Files: " A Russian Victim in Mui Ne"



Pilanita bored in the rainy day had investigated the mystery of the case of the lost Russian tourist... She was very helpful with finding the answers for the puzzling story- she found out that the tourist became a victim of popular 'lets cover myself with the sand' game.

Mui Ne






Right now we are in Mui Ne- lovely fisherman village by the Pacific Ocean. We are having great time here:D

Hoi An- eat and shop till you drop















There is few nice things Pilanita really enjoyed in Hoi An:





8 am- eating chocolate cake and Vietnamese coffee with sweet milk9 am-visiting the tailor to take the measures for Chinese dress





10 am-eating cau lau in the food market





11 am- cycling to the beach (first one during the trip!!!) where she met Kafka on the shore again 12- eating prown spring rolls at the South China Sea





2 pm- going to the the tailor to make the trousers3 pm- eating fried wanthon at the local restaurant





4 pm- visiting the shoe maker6 pm- white rose - the delicious special dumplings from Hoi An





7 pm- Saigon beer with a local karaoke fans and grilled pork 8.30 pm-rice vermicelli with roast duck at the food market10 pm- rice with tofu and egg and vegetables....yummy day mhhh... Would you like a mint?



Ha Long Bay- Vietnam




This time Pilanita has been spotted at the Ha Long Bay in the north of Vietnam. She was having some sea food caught by fisherman from the floating villages and she went for a swim despite the freezing weather.





Hanoi- we had spent few days in the capital of Vietnam in the heart of the Old Town. The traffic was mental, but we found some places with very nice music ("Hotel California" is the Asian hit of winter 2009/2010, each time we enter the new place we had been welcoming with this song). Food is amazing- our first try of Vietnamese cuisine. The best spring rolls we had ever tried.
Due to the growing popularity of Pilanita the numbers of fans suddenly increased (thanks to Mark Zuckerberg) . How big was our surprise when we had found out that we had groups of fans in Asia following us and asking us to put our signatures on their chests and picture with three of us. The peak of the fame has been reached when we saw the T-shirts with Pilanita on Khaosan Rd in Bangkok. One of them shows photos of Pilar and Anita described with most popular slogan in Asia- same same....but different.Thanks guys for your support. Please stay with us;)

Luang Prabang





We are in Luang Prabang - this is our last place to visit in Laos (Anita is quite happy about that as she still dreams about India...).

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!!




Pilar has no phone ( "no spanish sim card no more") either her rockstar sunglasses and her gift-bag (nice orange bag bought in Cadiz by her friends). Anita lost her famous bag and safe money belt. What happened was the fierce monkeys opened the lockers of their motorbike, while they were swimming in the watercave. Cheeky monkeys. Police in Vang Vieng couldn't believe our story and they did not make a report for the insurance company.

Vang Vieng... Take it or leave it?

Top 5 activities in Vang Vieng:

1. - Tubbing- floating on the river in the tractor tube from bar to bar drinking lao lao whiskey and jumping from the 10 metres high swing into the shalow river injuring knees, feet and shoulders. Risky sport, that insurance doesn't cover.

2. - Watching friends drinking coconut shakes (this is what you are able to do having the hangover after exhausting day spent in tube).

3. - Joining a fancy dress party (a bucketman won the prize).

4. -Reading at the river and lying on the hammock were the best.

5.- Joing the French conversation group at 3 o'clock in the morning- je n'ai problem pas :D as you can see our French is perfect. C'est fantastic. Salut "to" Les Quatre Mousquetaires!

Laos - 4.000 island

Pilanita and her two best friends has spent one week on the Don Det island.
Their daily plan looked as follow - lying in the hammock, reading, cyckling to the empty beach, hang out with the monks, swimming and enjoying the happy menu.
On the pictures there is landscape of the island - amazing sunset at the Mekong River. Christmas meal- crunchy piglet.And million kips baby Pilar with 50 euro in kips (nice experience to have so much cash in hands, but we run out of this in two days...).














Modern Art in Bangkok




























Who is behind Pilanita?

Today is the day. Pilanita decided to show up. Afte weeks of hiding from paparazzi, she discover a hunger for fame. There she is- a cute blond beauty. Don;t you love her madly? don't you need her badly? So- there are some pictures -Pilanita watching the modern art with the Dollar statue and Pilanita eating pad thai.








Kanchanabury

We are really, really sorry not to write for last few weeks, but we have been extremely busy experiencig laid-back life of SE Asia. Sleeping in a hammock is quite exhausting activity. Kanchanaburi is really relaxed place at the Kwai River, just few hours from Bangkok. We have been taking the shower in the waterfall trying to look like a movie stars, but apparenty it was a bit painful (water banging at the top of the head and fish were biting our legs). Althought most of guys were wearing T-shirts and shorts we have stepped into the deepest jungle and saw a Tarzan- we were amazed by his untouched by civilization and fast-food body.
