Back from a weekend in Kanchanaburi!!

Well its a lovely place to stay and along with great company I had a thoroughly great time staying in Kanchanaburi. Smoked and drank a lot and slept even more. Its a very moving place for me Kanchanaburi as it seems kind of perverse for a place to be so famous as for such awful reasons. Each time I see the bridge I think of how it must have been that day when the bombers had to let the bombs fall on our own boys and how the river ran red with the blood of the dead and the dying for two days afterwards (or so they say)..... spooky huh...
I didnt go to the war graves this time as I went the first trip but that still doesnt mean that each time I dont think about and be very grateful to everyone who fought there and helped us win that terrible war. Thank god for these people or else we would be speaking German and our SE Asian partners would be speaking Japanese!!!
Anyway Bangers seems to be livening up as the tourists return now that the world has been declared SARS free. There is no alcohol for sale in town today as its Buddhist lent which is a shame but there is more than enough plonk here for us to drink. Not sure what to do today but I might just stay in and watch the fish in the newly arrived tropical fish tank!!!
