Hello everyone,
Well, as usual my plans have changed. I am on an island called Koh Tao, which is on the east coast of Thailand. This island is so much better than the other places I have been to so far. Its really relaxed and has nice beaches and a nice lifestyle. Sam has had a few days of work at one dive centre so hopefully as things pick up in the high season there will be a bit more. We havent been doing much, weve been bike riding up huge impossible trails, swimming, sunning, hiking, visiting Koh Phangan and Koh Samui...and last but not least, practicing our new hobby: twirling burning sticks and chains of fire. Dont get too excited, were not good enough to light them on fire yet, Im still in the hitting myself in the back of the head stage. And for those of you who dont know what Im talking about or have never seen a fire show.... basically either you have two chains with a ball of cloth at the end, or a stick with a ball of cloth at each end and you twirl it around and look cool. Its really tiring and they really hurt when you hit yourself but its also really fun and I cant wait to light them on fire.
I have tried to make our room look as Christmas-y as possible, complete with a one-foot Christmas tree and home made decorations. I am hopelessly home sick for the cold, snow, family, friends and christmas atmosphere. I made a stocking out of my knee high socks, its pretty sad, just a sock with a piece of paper that says my name on it haha. Sam was pretty unfased seeing as hes never celebrated christmas before, which of course changed when there were presents under the funny tree...
Anyways if you guys all post your phone numbers on here I will get a phone card and try to call on christmas at a decent hour!! LOVE YOU MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!
PS JULES- I cant remember where you are planning to fly into, Bankok or Phuket or where you are planning to go so let me know when you will be where and we can make a plan to meet! (Im really excited!)
