Hi Peter
I just found out the other day who you are from my dear friend Rex. My husband Doug and I were in your TAFE class in 2000. As for the chillie stories I have a few! As you may remember Doug has a smooth pate (bald) and whenever he eats chillies the top of his head literally bubbles! Quite funny to watch and it has attracted lots of waiters particularly in Bali. We were at Poco Locos and Doug ate everyone elses chillies 9 in total! The next day we went on a long tour up to Batur and he needed the loo real bad. Only problem was there was no paper. Being a good boy scout he never leaves home without a hanky and that is what he had to use! Naturally it ended up in the bin! Doug never got Bali Belly he only ever got Chilli Belly. I used to eat lots of sweet chilli sauce I had it on all my food (except for deserts) then I was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and have not been able to eat it since. But after reading your story I just might start to eat it again but I will wait until we are home from Bali first! WE leave on Saturday and can't wait!
