Greetings from Thailand

I'm in Koh Samui now- and it's beautiful! The weather is perfect and the beaches are amazing. We had an awesome time in Bangkok and went to a couple of really cool markets- and then got to ride in a tuk tuk- which was a little scary, but fun. I've been taking lots and lots of pics that I will post when I get back!

I hope everyone had a good Christmas!

Thailand!

I leave in a few hours for Thailand and I'm sooo excited! The weather's gonna be warm and sunny and there will be cheap food, shoppping, and massages. I will spend 2 nights in Bangkok, 2 nights on the island of Koh Samui, 2 nights on the island of Koh Phangan, and then 3 nights in Phuket (including New Year's).

I will be thinking of you all, with a drink in my hand.

I have uploaded some pics from August to now on my MSN space. Click on the link above and then go to photos to see them.

Merry Christmas!

86-degree weather, here I come!

So, winter here pretty much sucks. My house basically has no insulation- so it's damn cold. My room temperature when I get home (before I turn on my kerosene heater) is 2 degrees Celsius (36 degrees F). Yep, it's true. And since I only have one heater that I use in my room, and no central heat- that means that I can see my breath in my kitchen and bathroom. Not cool.

Thank god for my heated toilet seat and the fact that I leave for Thailand in 5 days! Yay!

Mary and Krystal- don't worry. I will provide extra socks and lots of sake when you come, and everything will be OK.

Miyajima Island

A few weeks ago - I went here with some friends. The island's near Hiroshima and is famous for its floating Torii. We had to take a short ferry ride to get to the island- which is small, but there are actually people (and deer) that live on it. Afterward we drove to Hiroshima for a little shopping and to eat okonomiyaki.

GP news

A friend emailed me this article from GP a few days ago- about Beau Childers. So sad. I couldn't believe it when I heard it. I haven't seen him in a few years, but I was so surprised when I heard what happened. Click on the link above to read about it.
