New chat up lines

I have to tell you about this one - sadly I didn't witness this myself, my friend did but every time I think about it I just howl with laughter...

I'm jumping around a bit in terms of my direction but after Kerala (I stayed about a month and after Dan left I met up with my gorgeous sis, eve and her boyf Matt for Xmas) I flew (again, in true flashpacker style) to Goa for New Years Eve with Evie and Matt). Ended up staying there for 2 weeks. Stayed in Palolem for a week to celebrate NYE (messy - at least I was! plus also involved hundreds of Indian men watching us all dance which was rather amusing!) and the headed to Patnem beach which was much quieter and more chilled. Loved it there - if you go, stay at Cafe Copenhagen - really basic huts, great food, couple who run it are lovely.

After Patnem I caught the overnight death bus with Charlie (my other sis) and her boyf Greg. As I'm not part of a couple - single doom follows you all around the world - I was paired with another woman (thankfully) in a cell like compartment with a mattress (cue the sarongs). Ness was great. Totally on my wave length and not a nutter. I was relieved to say the least esp as for the next 10 hours and due to the erratic Freddie Kruger esq driving standards of the bus driver (thankfully he wasn't drunk - apparently they usually are or on LSD - not sure which is worse!) we would be thrown together at various intervals throughout the evening.

Anyway, I was chatting to Ness about this guy I kept seeing. From Columbia, I'd met him in Kathmandu, McLeod Ganj and now in Palolem. Turns out she'd met him last year. Thought he was totally cute and got chatting to him.

The Colombian (can't remember his name) teaches Tai Chi, is a tarrot card reader so very much a spiritual man. Fine. When he met Ness he asked if she wanted to feel the sea. Naturally she said yes, she closed her eyes, could feels the waves crashing around her (she wasn't drunk, stoned or anything else which is mind altering). So it all felt amazing and so he naturally rose about a million levels on the old 'hottie' radar!

Cut a long story shot the Colombian wanted to to her a favour. Due to her reaction from experiencing the sea he informed her that he wouldn't in fact be sleeping with her because, and get this as it's nothing short of hilarious, she wouldn't be able to handle it. It would be too good, too powerful for her. She wasn't ready. Well, I nearly woke the entire bus up when heard this. I literally screamed with laughter. Of all the chat up lines I've ever heard this has to be the best. 'I would love to sleep with you, but you're not ready - I'm just too good, it would be too powerful an experience for you and you wouldn't be able to handle it'....

I love travelling!
