Posts I've Made

In Topic: Raw Chocolate ?

Yesterday, 13:37

I think cocoa has had the fat (cocoa butter) removed. The op is talking about what are sometimes marketed as chocolate "nibs' , bitter but mixed with something sweet and they are good. I saw on the link that the one available here are grown here, didn't know T-land grew cocau trees, probably a good crop for here.

If the rains have started by then, white water rafting.

If the rains did start by then, white water rafting can be pretty dangerous.. But a bamboo raft float down the river is fun too, you often get that with a light-trek or tour.

  I don't know the safety record of the local industry.  They do seem to be and claim to be safey concious.  I have been rafting on the Mae Tang and another river, name forgotten...  it can get crazy, I have been when the guide said it was class 4+ ... after, they showed a video ot a training day where the river was so wild only the staff went, there were some great wipeouts.

  It really depends on how comfortable you and the sprocket are in the water,  I took my son at 14 on trips rafting in Oregon and California. By then he was already a serious surfer, so he knew how to survive in the water.

In June the water should not be very fast or dangerous,  I have done it here at class 2, then the guides make it fun with waterfights and other jokes.  Take the kid.
