... concotion of liquor you desired. Full Moon Party - 10th March On the night of the full moon party we started drinking on our balcony, and were soon joined by Trev (minus Sara as she was ill :( ) shortly followed by Adam and 5 of his mates, and little later on our friends from Laos James, Sam and Rhys. We all painted ourselves with uv paint and headed off for the beach. It was crazy, multi coloured people everywhere, all happy and drunk ...

... addition to the student roaster, very excited of being here. I really like the main teachers here, David and Marina. Both are very sweet and approachable. I think they like me too, as they accepted me to the course even though there was a long waiting list ahead of me. I still do not fully comprehend the chain of events that led me here. Dissatisfied with Agama I wrote an email to Kris, a yoga teacher in LA I admire, and ...

... of the consciousness in the subtle planes", "Note the free flow of fluidic energies in the neck", "Focus your bio-magnetic energy", and "Focus your attention to perceive distention and relaxation in the area of the belly, purification of the energies in the abdominal area and the expelling of toxic energies."

So up our bags went and in we jumped to this cramped, poorly ventilated 'mini-bus' and out of the carpark we turned. We conferred with our newly acquainted German companions that they would watch out the back while we kept an eye on the sides to make sure no belongings ...

... which is one of five dives I need to do to get advanced open water certification.  At my deepest I was about 95 ft deep which was pretty cool (hooray for nitrogen narcosis).  I was pretty upset that we didn't see any sharks but the dive was still really cool.  I'm not sure what they were but we saw a couple of huge fish that were just lying on the bottom, they were maybe 4-5 feet long and pretty fat.  We also saw more barracuda and several yellow box fish ...

... Full Moon Party, which is supposedly a crazy all-night party. But I am just hoping to meet other travelers going to the same places I am heading. Yeah, that's right...it is a networking trip, not a partying excursion. I will then come back to Ko Samui, get a few hours of sleep, and then head to Ko Tao to get SCUBA certified and hopefully go on a cool diving trip....

We took the mini bus to Krabi and then the big bus to Surat Thani. En route, I met lots of cool people, including 2 Austrian girls Magdalena and Barbara, a Welsh guy named Simon, and some Americans: one American who's been living as a missionary in Thailand for the last few years (while also working as a lawyer's assistant and a muay thai boxing announcer) and an American couple from Texas... the girl in the couple is moving to ...
