... happened to be a boat/shell (think crew) race going on that was probably a carry over from the Sonkgran Festival. It reminded me of the boat racing they do in Hawaii where 5 or so people sit in the canoe and each person has a paddle and paddle on every other side of the boat. When we were watching the racing I saw many locals eating what looked like square shaped ice cream on a stick in a few different flavors. I had to try it since it was so ...

... for ninny is a pile of logs water logged with urine. *******n i feel poetic today! You know what i dont understand? i dont understand the people who take their very young children backpacking across asia with them. ok news flash people, if you have 3 kids under the age of 5 you should not be backpacking in the first place. you should be at home, trying to save money for their college fund and keeping their annoying yelping away ...

... to take from the board and clip to our BCD before each dive and then put back as soon as we are back on the boat. That way the captain can be sure that everyone is on board before we head off to another dive sight. We are given our cabin where there are 2 bunk beds and a small table. There is enough room to stand in, that is if you are not over 6ft! The diving equipment area is large enough to accommodate everyone. We set up our equipment ready for our first dive ...

... Christmas Eve (the most un-Christmas-sy time we have experienced) we got to dive at Richelieu Rock - reputed to be one of the top 10 dive sites in the world, and definitely Thailand's top! Tick Two! Though this was the only site we had poor visibility, it was absolutely incredible to be surrounded by fish wherever you went. Christmas Day started in exactly the same way - diving at the Dome (of Doom because of its ...

... scooters (Nhuy)still didn't want one for herself, and headed for Klong Muang beach and surrounding areas. We arrived at Klong Muang by about 1:30pm and a rather heavy thunderstorm had started to roll-in from the N/W so we headed for shelter and a bite to eat at the only real place open outside of town, The Irish Pub of all places :-)on the esplanade. Another word of warning... The worst food any of us have had while on our entire ...

... men were in black] This was not to be my only wardrobe malfunction of the day. The ceremony itself was really charming. Mrs Cheng [Susannah] sat in a big, throne-like chair, Jem and June kneeling on cushions in front of her. An aunt brought a tray, from which J and J, each in turn, passed a tiny cup of tea to Mrs Cheng. All three delicately held hands, and June thanked her Mother for her upbringing, and Mrs Cheng gave her blessing to the ...

... essermi fatto onore a suon i birra Chang ho dovuto prestare giuramento in inglese riupetendo quanto farfugliava il mentore, anch'egli ampiamente abbirrazzato. Tutto e' bene quel che finisce e basta! Ho passato gli ultimi tre giorni sulla nave Mariner a bighellonare per le isole Similans e la cosa e' stata piuttosto piacevole. No Whale sharks ne' Mantas ma abbiamo injcontrato una bella balenottera con due piccoli ...

... to know how to swim in order to be a good diver. All you have to know is how to control your buoyancy and kick a lot with your fins.) I was teamed up with 4 other divers including Micha the divemaster that I had spent Christmas and New Years partying with. I had gotten to know and trust him over the past couple weeks and figured he was a very experienced diver. The seas were very choppy and the boat was bouncing up and down about 2-3 meters in the waves. A few divers in ...

... get ****** (drunk, not angry.) It should be mentioned that we are among the very few Americans vacationing here. In large proportion the place is populated by visitors from Scandinavia; some Germans but it is the Swedes, Fins and Danes. As tourists, it is as if only the eye shape of the temple visitor drones in Cambodia has changed. The general demeanor of these people reflects the chill of their climate and they seem to pack all the zany good humor of a Bergman film.
