Pink Hotel Hat Yai

... to Malaysia. That being said, I am off tommorow to Malaysia. I'm not exactly sure where I am going yet, but I am on a bus heading to the island of Penang. I may jump off early and try and catch a different bus to another coast, but time will tell.<br> And that is a wrap of Thailand the second time around. The islands were perfect, the nightlife was a lot of fun, and the people as always were very friendly.

Finally say Goodbye to Pha-Ngan It didn't take me long to decide to leave Pha-Ngan. Although I absolutely love the stillness of its nature, especially Thong Nai Parn Noi, and I began to make some new friends, but travelling is about moving, one can't stay in a place forever. I needed to go back to my mother as soon as possible also. I left the day after Full Moon party. People kept asking me whether I did join it or not. In the end, I ...

Kello heratteli meikalaisen siihen aikaan kun oli edellisella viikolla mennyt normaalisti nukkumaan. Tama sen takia etta juna lahti jo kello 8 aamulla. Oli ihan kasittamaton nalka. Mut ei oikeen kyenny syomaan ku ei ollu valuuttaa ku sen verran et silla yopyis viel ehka yhen yon... Juna matka tuntu ikuisuudelta... Ajattelin etta perilla on pakko hommata jotenkin ruokaa... Loppu juna matkasta ...

... there it went downhill fast. Starting with the huge straight razor that was about as sharp as my second grade pink eraser. Undeterred, she really put her back into it, dragging it down my cheeks in fits and starts like she was removing a dog's winter coat. After that there were multiple attempts to get at the tight spots, alternately pinching, pulling, and twisting my lips, nose and ears in hope of somehow magically turning my face into a two-dimensional surface. On two ...

... no, we did not fall, instead... we ran out of petrol ! How convenient when you are in the middle of the jungle on a dirt road in the dark with a pregnant woman and a heavy backpack. Especially when you think about the reasons why you took that bike : no walking anymore ! I pushed the bike for a bit in order to get up the hill, and then we cruised downhill for a good 600 metres until it came to a complete stop. Needless to say all of this is in the ...

... food place that sells local food. There is this egg prata thing that they drizzle condensed milk and sugar in it and wrapped. it was good, sweet and crispy. You should try it when youre over here. And they have coconut rice in pandan leaves and wrapped like an Otah. okay, we re suppose to figure out where to go in Hatyai. so i shall go look it up. see you people soon! PS: See you dixon in Bangkok on the 18th!

Off to Hatyai ....On Saturday night Charmaine took me to her sisters place at the Chokesaman Church SDA Church ...before arriving we went through the Hatyai shopping district at Lee Gardens Plaza and took in some sites and a quick fast meal...(although we avoided it...they do have ...

... so of course they would understand how ethnic identity and national identity could coexist. Singapore is primarily Chinese, but seems to successfully integrate all the cultures that it is made of. The immigrant culture of the city may also be strengthened by the number of expats in the city, which make up 20 percent of their population. I also happened to be there during Deepavali, the big Indian holiday. Singaporeans get a day ...

... Now we are free to take "fun dives" anywhere. That just means we can dive wherever and don't have to take a 1/2 day of training before diving. As for scuba diving: its definately one of the absolute coolest things I've ever done. Its amazing. Completelt different from anything above water. The colors, the creatures, the plants! And just the feeling of having no gravity ...

Yesterday, we finally crossed into Thailand. My first impression of this place is things are very cheap. In general, the dollar is far more valuable here than anywhere else I had visited, including China, Argentina, Africa, and Malaysia. A dinner platter would generally cost about $1-$2, and our room with 4 beds cost a total of $7.50. There didn't seem to be much to do in Hat Yai ...
