... hier aufzuwachen und zu entscheiden an welchem der Straende wir den Tag verbringen erscheint so unwirklich dass wir uns zwischen durch immer wieder zwicken muessen. Und lachen tun wir auch genug, und zwar ueber die einfach nur unmoeglichen Turisten die hier rumlaufen und in der Sonne braten. Viele viele russen, deutsche und alles was sich in die knalle sonne legt und sein fett ...

... of course after getting a guesthouse and changing into our swimsuits was find a nice table at the beach, order a drink and just sit and relax. That sitting a relaxing got a little carried away though and we ended up just laying there for about 3 hours until we decided we should get up and go explore the nightlife of the island a bit.
While in 7-11 we were watching 4 guys in front of us buying Chang beer in cans, I felt it was necessary to let them know that ...

... south. They look more like Samui than Phuket. The geography is not quite as unusual, but it is very pretty. The best certified dive shop leaves from the beach here, and snorkeling, kayaks, sailing, etc. is available right at the beach too. Noah says that the activities are much cheaper in the Village of Hat Sai Kaew or Silver Sand Beach. Songthaws run day and evening and that's only abouy 10 minutes away. I didn't ...

I made it to Ban Phe yesterday (Wednesday.) It was a long ride , 2 ½ hours, especially alone with a driver who spoke about 50 words in English total. He must have asked me if I was ‘kisstan’ 3 times before he thumped his chest and said “I- Buddha” and I got the picture. I tried asking him what was growing in the fields or what was all that green bundled grass type stuff the ...

... so on, and yet I still couldn't really remember most of them. It is clear to me now that travelling is much more than going to a spot, stay in a hotel, walking around, and perhaps get drunk in some occasion. Probably we all do that because we are framed to do so by the torism organisation of that particular country. Just like if you come to Thailand, you will have to go to Phuket, and Chaing Mai. It is nothing wrong with that if you love that life style ...

... gym in the morning (abs already hurt- writing this Tuesday night). Came back to my quiet apartment and got the rest of my lesson planning done for the week and most for next week. In the afternoon, Jessica, Valerie and I went to Central Bangna to see a new movie that came out. It was based on a book that the Princess wrote. It was quite good. It was in Thai with English subtitles. The movie theatres here are very nice, but they show about 30 minutes of previews before hand, then ...

... pictures to help, but these were still some pretty ********cepts to get across.

I was the first to go out of my group of five people and had a real awakening when I realized that their English was not anywhere near the level that I thought it would be...the level of the class that we had viewed the day before. In my warm-up activity, which was just a repetition of a standard English greeting, the class had huge problems. I ...

... also everyone that I saw was either in couples or groups and unwilling to talk or interact (even just a friendly smile) with me. I ended up talking with a really nice Irish guy who introduced me to his friends and I spent my first night chatting with them in a bar. A few of them had been coming out here for around five years for Xmas and new year and loved it. Ko Samet is unlike the other Thai islands as it is ...

... one and only American.We had a great time talking the night away on the train and drinking some beer and whiskey. I learned a lot about then and it was just so great to hang out with other people. I returned to bangkok on the weekend and was planning to stay there until money so I could get my re entry permit ,so once I leave the county to go to Bali I will able to come back in on my some visa. I am really nervous about getting it, even though I ...

... the job search starts on Monday, so wish me luck. I am not ready to come home yet, so I am going to stick it out and see what happens.Thanks to everyone who have seen so supportive this last week. Thanks for all the emails and letting me cry to you about it. I am ready to move forward and enjoy the rest of my time here in Thailand To all my wonderful friends who ...
