Call On Me, Call On Me,"______" I'm The Same Boy I Used To Be

Well reality is looming, and I'm back in Phuket
I'm getting ready to make the journey to the motherland
Cold ass weather, time to put away the shorts :(
Gonna pay huge for my xtra baggage and newly acquired stuff
Fuckers!
On the upside I'm leaving Thailand with an Open water diver license
Yup PADI certified!
Swam this morning with the coolest fish and some black tip reef sharks
there was rumour of a whale shark, but we didn't see it
14m deep and about 5m visibility
The vis was the shits today compared to Saturday at 20m

Looking forward to my lunch date in Seoul during my 10hr layover
Not looking forward to the 30+ hr travel day though :(
I got a plan I think for my return, but it depends on a few things
I guess we'll see what happens??
I'm quite confident it will go my way though!!
I'll write ya from Bangkok!

Nemo And The Jets

Last day in paradise and it's raining
my luck, so much for the tan.
one dive to do tomorrow, and a boat ride to Phuket in the afternoon.
I'm staying the night there, and flying to Bangkok the next day.
One night in Bangkok, and off to Canada I go.
I don't really want to go back and face "reality",but I guess all good things come to an end.
Things aren't gonna be the same as when I was there, and I guess that might be the reason why I don't want to go back.
Well and the fact it's winter LOL
I'm sitting here in shorts and a Tee typing this less than a week I'll be in a sweater, pants and a jacket :(
I took alot of pics in my travels, but hardly any of this place. The plan today was to do that but the weather is the shitz....maybe later??

Trigger Fish

When bouncing around from the beach to Internet cafes
ya never know what your gonna get, for example:
a sunburn, or a computer that doesn't have chat
When ya want to chat with someone, and there's slim chance you might catch em online
your happy until, the computer you rent for 2baht a minute does not have the smarts to do so :(
Speaking of smarts, she was right again
I signed up for a 3 day open water dive course here on Koh Phi Phi
very scary and weird at first, but now I think it's pretty frickin cool!
I'm halfway to certification with 2 dives left to do..
Today we did a 10m dive in the bay where "the beach" was filmed
Saw to many fish to list, and a giant sleeping turtle
no nemo's yet though
I wonder who will show up first the chat or the Nemo?

Runaway Train

A rainy day in paradise
A island where the music scene is behind,
lots of tunes I have not heard in like 12 yrs
kinda cool and it brought back memories!
Staying at the rock backpacker hostel
got a room the size of a twin mattress in the room there are 3 things:
mattress
light
fan
Not pretty, but very cheap and after a few days I'm gonna relocate to a real hotel room just for the hot non seawater showers!

I'm Ascending To Outer Space, To Find Another Race

Full moon party was fun, but really not my scene
I'm gonna guess maybe 20,000 ppl in attendance!
Was fun to watch the drunk as shit ppl passed out and stumbling around :)
Left the day after the party and took a flight to Phuket
a couple islands to visit then the party is OVER
back to Canada I go :(
I am sad, but it will be a refreshing change of pace.
Peoples relationship with animals and the amount of stray dogs and cats
you see in SE Asia is starting to get to me,I mean they are everywhere, picking through garbage and sleeping on the street.
Granted there is nothing I can do, but I feel bad for the dogs and cats.

Be Yourself, Take Only What Ya Need From It

What have I been up to?
Well I'm on an island in the south of Thailand and besides working on my tan;
-I have met some great people. One guy from England who is an expert at the contact ball and juggling. The contact ball is the coolest thing I have seen. It's basically a round ball the size of a cantaloupe and he balances it up and down his arms, neck, and body ( anyway look it up F'n cool! His german friend is quite the character aswell!
-Saw Muay Thai boxing from the third row. 6 KO's outta 8 fights...got pics
-Learned to Juggle(sort of)
-Smoked a little and watched the sun go down
-Lost money at the worst poker game I ever been to. All the players were drunk and it took like ten minutes a hand, so I threw all my chips in and gladly lost and left the table.
- Huge full moon party tonight on the beach, not my scene but gonna check it out anyhow
-been wondering where my suit is I sent from Vietnam to Canada.
-been waiting for an email, that doesnt seem to be coming
-been drinkin alot of Singha and Leo beer
Thats all folks
Off to Koh Samui tomorrow to check it out, before I leave the sun and return to the snow :(

Beach Bums

Well Koh Phangnan is nice
I decided to get away from the party scene
and went to the north coast of the island.
Well, let me tell ya I was away from the party scene and
everything else in the world
saw like 5 people in 30+ hours!
Beach was nice,saw some crabs eating a dead fish!
The bungalow was not so nice, but what can u expect for 5 bux a night?
Met some hippe dude, who happened to be my bungalow neighbour
He was OK, but a little to far out of his brain to be the only person to talk to, so that got old fast. LOL
Today I relocated back to party central.
Rooms are up in price because the full moon party is around the corner.....
now I'm paying 20 bux a night, but hey I have warm water, power and a sink!
Got a sunburn on my back today I guess travelling alone does have some disadvantages,
like you cant reach your whole back with the suncream
Ahhh well, hopefully the burn will fade into a tan :)
