Snake !

Noooooo.... Snake won by 1 vote! So whilst you are stuffing your face with turkey sandwiches on boxing day, we are off to some remote village outside of Hanoi to eat a snake. We are a little bit worried as it can be dangerous, but we met a vietnamese guy the other day who showed us where to get it and said that it wasn't too dangerous or tasty. Here is and excert from the lonley planet about eating Snake:
"Laws regarding the capture and sale of snakes have made it a rarity. However you are still likley to see it around since it is believed to have medicinal properties and widley touted as an aphrodisiac. The more poisionous the snake, the worthier its reputation. Cobras are a favourite, though Pythons have alot more meat. Feasting on such delicacies is not cheap, and be aware that eating undercooked snake meat can prove dangerous"
Sam says the would prefer a pork sandwich, and apple sauce anyday.
Right off to do it now.... hope we survive.
Feeling a little sick.
Over and out
Chris & Sam.

P.S We are travelling down to south vietnam tonight for 2 days on a bus so you won't get the photos or any updates for a while.
