OH. MY. GOD. To say I feel like shite would be the biggest understatement of the year. It was Eve and Charlie's last night. So we headed out to a bar in Sairee (Bands bar - never, ever have a bucket from there!) with Ayesha, Emily, Hannah, Kelly and Matt.
For those who have been fortunate enough to never have experienced a bucket - basically it's Thai Sansong whisky with either Red Bull, Coke or Sprite. Sounds harmless enough you think. You're wrong. Massively wrong.
The poison is served in a bucket - the type you get when you buy a bucket and spade -and 15 or so straws are added which gives the illusion you're not drinking that much.
So three buckets later and I am flying (figuratively speaking of course!). Eve is whipping up the dance floor. Hannah is hanging off Matt's (who's 20) neck and asking if he minds being chased by 'an old boiler' (she's 30!) while I have 'Eric' from Israeli banging on in my ear. God knows what he was saying. To him it looked as though I was smiling. The reality is that I was subtly trying to gasp for air to avoid honking up all over him.
Eventually we finished around 5am - they don't tell you the poison lasts for hours. You feel really drunk, then not etc.
Had a few hours sleep then waved Eve and Charlie off - still drunk - lots of tears but I think we were all feeling so horrendous we were too busy trying not to fall down where we were standing to worry too much about saying goodbye (18 weeks till I see them in India and counting!).
Spent the rest of the day in my hut sleeping, moaning and battling with the most horrific fear to date. This ranged from 'I've damaged my stomach lining', I'm reckless, I need to grow up, to the tried and tested 'the circulation in my left leg has suffered from the stupid nos of fags I smoked last night, therefore my left leg will be amputated.' Seriously, I wish I was joking. These are the thoughts that I have to battle with when I'm hungover. I know I'm not alone on this one. I've done a survey with my friends and they get it too! Phew!
I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again - NEVER. EVER. Will I touch the Sansong poison in a bucket!!
