Full Moon Party 2010

And yes, I was there!

Getting ready, everyone seems to be drawing flags on themselves... so I did mine!



We went on the beach, danced a little bit, had a few drinks, met some new people... I loved it!
And I can't wait for the next one on Christmas Day!

Going to the beach the morning after was a bit shocking... a lot of flip-flops, bottles, straws (they even give you straws for bottled water here!) and a lot of drunk people asleep in the sun... but we survived it!

It's even hot!

This is what heaven looks like when you're travelling - and, yes, it also has a dispenser with shower gel, shampoo and conditioner! :D

The Rock

I got to Koh Phi Phi yesterday, the island I saw getting off the boat is like paradise... blue sea, white sand - amazing!

I looked for a hostel, cause I had no booking so I found this place.


The toilet gets flushed with a bucket.
All the people that have been here for more than 3days have bruises for going up and down the stairs.
The matress is rock-hard (and full of sand, after a few hours!)
The walls are covered with not very nice writings (there is a massive C-word right in front of my bed, just to give you the good morning!)
The showers are basically in a restaurant so it's like garlic shower... then you have to wash again! 

... but I love it! And for less than 3euros a night, can't ask for much, right?

Think am going to stay a bit longer as I couldn't help but smile and be happy while dancing on the beach til 2am last night!

Hooray!

My plane to Bangkok was delayed (again!) but made it to Thailand - hooray!

Celebrated the first night in BKK eating a cricket (mmm), drinking champagne (the air hostess gave it to me cause I swapped my seat with someone else!) and watching the sun rise on a roof top.


After 3days in the capital, I made it to to Phuket (VIP night bus where the only programmes they were playing on the tv where Thai ones... ehm, not funny). It's been raining on and off (so humid!) but finally made it to the beach today - was like a child, jumping and kicking the sand!

Plan is more beaches tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and the day after the day after tomorrow!

Oh, yeah - not to mention the Thai beers and the Thai food.

I'm not going very far

I never thought this could be my first picture on this South-Asian-Australian blog of mine.
But, as it happens, got stuck in Dublin for an extra few days (bloody snow!) and finally made it to London.
Just in time to check out the "Winter Wonderland" in Hyde Park - not feeling christmassy at all this year but sure... I'll have another glass of mulled wine while we're at it.
Guess I won't be able to find it once I get to Thailand on Thrusday!
