Description:

	I was on a quest, walkin' through a field of poppies, poppies, poppies..
	Wait, wrong song.  Anyway, since MarkE moved away from Berkeley, I've
	been looking for a Thai restaurant in the South Bay that made me as 
	happy as Cha Am.  I haven't found one yet.  Amarin Thai, however,
	which recently opened on Castro in Mountain View, is pretty happymaking.

	Generally spicier than Cha Am and with a much broader vegetarian
	menu, Amarin's prices are in line with Castro/MtV restaurants -
	Generally seven dollar entrees, plus a few dollars for the seemingly
	endless flow of Iced Coffess some of our number seem to feel are 
        necessary.

	Kabuki last attended Amarin Thai on Septamber 12, 2001.

Directions:

	Short: Amarin is one block down Castro from Central.  The CalTrain
	lot is a good place to park.

	Long:  Take your route of choice to Moffett Blvd and 101.  Head 
	peninsula west (south) on Moffett until you pass Central and it
	becomes Castro.  Park at the first available opportunity.

	Transit:  Take CalTrain or Light Rail Extension to the "Mountain
	View" stop.  If you are coming up from San Jose on Light Rail,
	make sure you are on the Tasman line, or change to it from
	the San Jose line.  If you are arriving on CalTrain, note
	that the "Castro" stop is NOT at Castro Street!  You want the 
	"Mountain View" stop instead, unless you feel like a long walk.
