Spent New Years Eve at the sea-side - relaxing by a pool in a posh hotel (we were staying at the hostel down the road but they didn't seem to mind!) We decided to take the day off as it was 2pm before the running repairs (aka crash damage repairs) and oil changes had been completed on the rickshaws.
About half the teams converged on the resort for a New Year's Eve party - another swanky event - except for the twenty-odd dirty, tired, and later drunk Rickshaw racers. Midnight was seen in drinking Gin and Tonic and dancing to a Bangra-band. I'll try to load up my footage of the locals dancing later - they really know how to "dance as if no one's watching!" All the locals at the party were very friendly and very male - one young man in particular seemed to enjoy placing his hand on Paul's leg! I tried to reassure Paul that it didn't mean anything and was just the local culture, but I think he knew I was making that bit up.
