Nipa Resort Kathu

... a small population of foreigners, Malaysia was certainly more multi-cultural. I suppose this why I developed a fondness towards the city despite the short visit. On one corner you can view a Muslim man with his 3 wives dressed in black robes, another corner a Chinese woman next to her a young backpacking Australia couple, another corner a Druze man with his baggy trousers, tightly wound turban and thick black mustache. With an open mind will find much joy ...

... spectacular. <br> As we were coming around a bend going up the mountain I was video-taping and noticed through my camera that there were elephants on the side of the road!! That was quite a site to see! But on the way back we stopped at the elephants and their feet were all chained up and the could not move, it was really sad, so I left right away. <br> But it was a beautiful view at the top of the mountain and seeing the big Buddha was quite a site (some of its ...

... for almost seven years. That was a great time of my life in which I set up a foundation of good living. Well, as I`ve said before, I found my love in Phuket and now we are together for almost two years. Both of us are deeply grateful to have met eachother but more bout our story will follow later...<br>I was looking for work in Phuket for quite a long time. It was ...

... Town and were thoroughly disenchanted. The streets were dirty, half the stores were closed, and there was definitely no "style" to be found. We sought food almost immediately and ended up at a cheap local eatery that was pretty good. I had a papaya salad, which is made of shredded green papaya, green beans, chili peppers, cherry tomatoes, small dried shrimp and coated in fish sauce (which is not a fishy tasting as it sounds) and dusted with crushed peanuts. It was actually very ...

... vessels with rice, pots, pans, and sometimes even goats. An hour and a half later, we arrived at Ko Yao Yai- an idyllic island standing in Phang Nga Bay. On the way, we passed the sheer limestone rock faces for which the bay is famous, and watch seabirds soaring lazily in the cloudless sky. <br><br>We were met at the pier on Yao Yai Island by your friendly hosts. From here, it was only a 30min drive to the beach ...

... himself..so they stopped our sparring...But the damage was done..I took 1 really hard kick to the ribs..and a HARD knee to my left hip..even though we weren't suppose to be kneeing during sparring..my partner felt he had to throw in a knee. I was not impressed..and of course after the mouthguards came out and gloves came off..the guy comes over to me and says " Hey mate..sorry about that..I got a bit out of control". I looked at him..then walked away. I haven't ...

... the street to a nice little open air restaurant. Shaun ordered sweet sour spicy fish over rice, similar to a dish that he orders from the Thai restaurant Siamese Street in Stockton on Pacific Ave. It wasn't exactly what he expected. I had Thai Style Noodle Soup, and since the afternoon brought rain the temperature was down to about 85 degrees and soup was tolerable!!! With the rain and a day exhausted in the sun and ...

... beautiful water with amazing waves. The sand is white and with water seems like clay. Needless to say I stayed there sitting playing with the clay like sand for a good 10 minutes. I was very amused. This ain't no Stamford Cove beach...ahaha. While on the beach for 2 hours two storms came by. It's awesome here because storms last 5 to 10 minutes then the sky clears up. Also these storms are very pinpointed and any times it will rain 500 meters from you and you can just look at the cloud ...

Tästä päivästä ei paljon jää jälkipolville kerrottava, pelkkää istumista, istumisen perään, mutta tsekataan nyt päivän tunnelmat... Oli melkoista tervanjuontia tänään päästä ylös sängystä (eilisen iltaretken ansiosta), mutta eipä ollut muuta vaihtoehtoa kuin klo 5.50 jysäyttää valot päälle, reput selkään ja tuli persuuksien alla kohti Uenoa. Käveltiin pitkää tunnelia Uenon asemalla, joka oli aivan täynnä nukkuvia, viimeisestä junasta myöh ...

... tsunami evacuation point. It was strange to see such a concentration of westerners, the most i have seen in Thailand, most of them fat. Tonight we are having a leaving Party for Patty who strangely enough is actually sitting behind me and is the only other person in the internet room. She did part of the course online so only had to be here for two weeks. Better go this is a long entry i must try and do it a bit more often than every two weeks.
