Just back from the night market. I get this wonderful coconut shake thing every time I go – and the woman who makes it is great.

Her tip for me re motorbike safety? ‘See that street? she says, pointing.  ‘It’s one way, you have to go this way.’ Ok say I, I won’t go the other way on it. ‘No, no, you can go, but be very careful because if anything happens it will be your fault if you are going the wrong way!’
