This is the last entry of our great adventure. Filled with great impressions and 100 of stories it is difficult to get back on track - the question always comes up: do I really want to get into the normal stressy chaos? This will remain to be solved.

But here is what happened the last days:
everything went smooth flight Hanoi - BKK no trouble and finding a place to stay easy. One good thing to know for families: kids don't pay riding the airport express bus into Khao San which saves 150 B per person. In the evening we strolled around finding a park where people did aerobics and a fireeater practised, also a group of breakdancers. After sitting down watching them do their most artistic exercises they offered to teach us the basics. Soon Robin and Megan were trying hard - this is why we got invited to the next days B-boy competition in Bangkoks biggest shopping mall. This was an extraordinary day - surrounded just with local people. They picked us up from that park - we walked and waited then we rode a cab (8 people) to end up at the place 3 hours early. Nobody spoke English and we communicated with hands and feet. We spent the whole Sunday with them. At the end Megan was suddenly in one of the competition groups and without knowing she was on stage in the middle of hundreds of Thais screaming and clapping for the dancers. Even she was almost paralized she did well doing her handstand - of course nothing comparable to the boys but considering the situation it was quite brave and I was pretty proud of her.




And now watch what they do:
