Koh Samui

Well I'm now down in the south and it is so freaking hot here, I know you'll all want to kick me in the junk for complaining about the heat but i had to hide for most of the afternoon cause I felt like my head was on fire when i wasn't in the shade and I was sweating buckets when I was in the shade. I took a shower today and got out and was still wet after drying myself two time cause it was that hot that I just couldn't stop sweating. For all my moms out there I was drinking plenty of water and wearing lots of sunscreen ;) Well I don't really remember where I left off last but the first two days were so busy that I don't think I could write about everything I did but I'll try to post most of the highlights. The second night in Bangkok we witnessed something noone should ever see but if you are ever in bangkok you must go anyways, just ask any tuk tuk drive to see a ping pong show and they'll take to one. After that we tried to go to a club but the driver got the wrong impression and we ended up in a "massage" parlour with about 20 young girls lined up for us to pick from. Obviously we turned right around and got out of there as fast as possible, after finishing our beers. Then we walked to an outdoor beer market and saw some live music with a very amusing version of Mambo #5. The next day we headed out to a park and relaxed while munching on some fired chicken feet, yummmmmmm. And after dinner we hopped on the bus down to Sukrat Thani which was a hell of a 12 hr bus ride and then caught a 2 hr boat to Koh Samui where we are right now. This afternoon the seconds passed like hours and I thought it would never end, around 5 the temp started to drop off and I was sweating buckets anymore, just 500 mL bottles and I got an hr long massage on the beach for only 200Baht or $6.70 CND and then we headed out to grab dinner and now we are waiting for the millions of bars around here to fill up. Well I better go attend the 12 emails waiting for me as it is alot more expensive for internet down here then in Bangkok and I need to save some money for the bars later. Thanks for the comments, I love reading them so keep on writing them!

I wore sunscreen the first week I was in India too...until I ended up with a lot of it in my eye, as a result of the excessive sweating!

If you pay the tuk tuk drive a few extra dollars you can drive him around the city (Have a beer! Find a hill!! Lots of fun!).

You're making me feel land-locked already. Of course I'm going to keep reading. I'll email you in a few days too.

Live large! Do lots of things I wouldn't do, and tell me all about it!
