On New Year's Day

January 1st 2013

NORTH BEACH 9:00 am
New Year's greeting from European tourists (?).

Beach dog is disgusted that it is another red flag day.

..but the waves are great for the morning surfing lessons

Street dog from Moon Dance Cafe tries to sober up on the beach after the all-night Bollywood Dance Party





SOUTH BEACH 9:15 am
Preparing to fish in 2013

Nice man tries to sell me screaming crustaceans for breakfast.

Locals consider which of the holy men to use for their first puja (blessing) of the year.  I like the one with the beer umbrella and the mirrored sun glasses (not pictured here).

HELIPAD
No Tuk-tuks at the taxi stand


The school bus hit the helipad at 40 km an hour and didn't slow down cause there were no children (?).


Oh Yeah, and Simon and I wish you all a
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
