While staying on Langkawi in a small fishing village one day we came across a house where they put a lot of coconuts during daytime. Realizing that, we looked at each other, and silently agreed to come back in the night to get our share of it before they will sell them to us the next day for a tourist price. Around midnight, fully covered in darkness and mosquito spray, we made our way to the coconuts. Choosing a coconut had to be fast in order not to draw any attention on us of any occasional by passing villagers. Once in possession of the desired object we fled to a calmer place to take care of it. On the way to that place we found a broken floor tile. That was the missing item to get us started opening the coconut. After 15 minutes of pure force, the actual coconut was free. Not even a bit brown as I expected it to be. After this first step we went to bed looking forward to our coconut breakfast the next morning. With the next daylight we got up to continue our task. With some scissors it was possible to get some wholes in the nut. Full of hope we inserted our straw to get the coconut juice. Long story short - the juice was a bit alcoholic and the coconut "meat" was very hard and dry. Neither the taste nor the consistency was what we expected. Disappointed we went to have breakfast elsewhere...
... a few days later in Thailand we actually bought a coconut - it wasn`t exciting, but tasty. The juice was sweet and the flesh like jelly. This added a new aspect to our robbery. We realized that we stole an old coconut which we would have got probably for free - if we would have asked. Nevertheless we were happy as no one saw us stealing the coconut. Thus no one from teh village knows how stupid we are :)
