... our lease for our new apartment. I’m not really looking forward to moving- just because I hate the process, but it’ll be nice once I’m settled in.

As far as school goes, my class continues to amaze me everyday. They are doing such a great job behaving now and following directions for the most part! In the pictures they are asking each other their favorite activity to help them make a tally graph.

This past weekend Debra ...

... surrendered to our room where we shut off the AC and opened the windows and doors. I went up and booked a Thai massage for two, as yesterday a couple who had been sitting under the same tree as us on many days gave me a Voucher for a " Couple Thai Massage " for 45 minutes they had as they could not use it as they were sunburnt, very nice indeed, they left this morning and I thanked them again as we passed them having breakfast on our walk. I had to go up and cancel our trip with Cob as ...

... of transports. The flight into Phuket was to change the boring certain nature we had come to take for granted. We took off fine on Air Asia's flight from KL to Phuket, clear skies and only 20minutes behind schedule. The flight is only an hour and the skies were clear. On our approach to Phuket I noticed a lot of lightening across the sky and had a weird thought.... what if we crash? (Strange as it is not the usual thought that ...

... come down to the edge of the jungle and some had ventured onto the beach! A few of the people engaged in feeding the monkeys bit of banana etc. But we immediately headed to the edge of the jungle to find many more macaques sitting in the trees. There were two baby monkeys who were playing around jumping in and out of the trees and chasing each other around. We had an intimate moment with ...

... sharp objects and leaving items in their mouths. Take a look at the photos. Then the firecrackers came. Spectators threw live firecrackers at the practitioners - their legs, body and face. The only protection that I could see was a wrapped cloth around their face with only the eyes showing (like a ninja). They walked/jogged through it without dropping the statues they were carrying. P.s I can never look at samurai swords the same way again :/

Fish or chicken? I think it should be chicken with cashew nuts.



Some crab in spicy sauce. I stopped taking ...

We have spent today working on a parrot costume for Oonagh to wear at the pirate party. The pirate party is tomorrow and we are all pretty excited, the Canadian people we are traveling with have thrown one every year. But this year they are in Thailand, so all their friends decided to come to Thailand just for this party. So we are with Angie, Kaare, Jake, Jesse, Carly, Scott, Andy, Juanita and Hayley. They ...

... over 3 years ago this place was totally detroyed by the tsunami - there's not much evidence of it and apparently the place is pretty much back to how it was. There are the odd constant reminders though, like the tsunami evacuation route signs everywhere. KT: Phi Phi Leh - the smaller island made famous for "The Beach" film was in view from our beach side accommadation. Being tourists we couldn't miss the opportunity of missing out - so we ...

... wooden structures with a car or truck engine on the back driving a long shaft with a deadly-looking propellor. They are usually not silenced, so the roar is deafening. We had a fantastic day's sail, with (mostly) clear blue skies and a good breeze of around 15 knots. We enjoyed freshly-cooked prawns for lunch. At Koh Dam Khwan we headed for our intended anchorage (C on p63 of the Pilot) but found it to be ...

... bla ." Anyways, we still attempt to make conversation and am standing there feeling like an idiot but still having fun at the same time. We hang out there for about 45 minutes standing on the side of the road watching motorcycles and cars fly by every other minute when John and Jeff finally arrive on foot from a restaurant they were eating at. They of course go to sleep right away, but at least we knew where they were. We then get a ride back to ...
