Dzis mialam srednio pomyslny dzien. Zdecydowanie nie sluzy mi tryb zycia czlowieka pierwotnego, chodzi mi szczegolnie o tryp dzienno-nocny czyli zmierzch o godzinie 19!!!!!!!! Nie moge spac kiedy jest wczesnie a kiedy ostatnio zmusialm sie polozyc o 21 owszem zasnelam ale pozniej obudzona potrzeba fizjologiczna nie moglam ponownie zasnac.Wieczorami nie ma cos robic bez elektrycznosci!Bardzo dziwne uczucie. Pomyslaloby sie ze po calodziennej pracy fizycznej usne jak susel a tu nic - w koncu jestem nocnym markiem;) Mam tylko nadzieje, ze sie przyzwyczaje do tej roznicy albo sobie znajde jakies wieczorne zajecia! Jakies pomysly? Co mozna robic w srodku lasu bez elektrycznosci??? Jedyna rozrywka jest czytanie przy swiecach, gadanie o bzdurach z babami (za ktorym nie przepadam) lub pisanie! (juz kupilam sobie zestaw kopert i papieru!). pozytywna strona - nauczylam sie juz gipsowac ora... read more

yestarday I worked hard with Burmese workers. after a while being here I might be educated enough to build a house by myself! yea! I can recomend to google few websites about mud houses - it's really cool idea!!! I have learnt so for how to plaster, how to build walls, i am trying to build some muscles;-) I am sure I am going to loose a lot of weight - beacause of the heat i am not too hungry and also the diet is much healthier in here then back in UK. I have made some great fotos already and going to make a much more couse everything is worth fotographing. One of my dities apart building the mud houses will be to do a research about political situation for refugees from Burma to asses ... read more

I have had an excellent weekend so far which makes me think that maybe I will fit in somehow after a while. I had some wierd moments especially in the evenings when it is dark at 7pm already and there is nothing to do. Many things make me laugh on here, sometimes I feel like a cave girl!!!!! My feet look so bad and disgusting that I can not look at it while I'm eating!! It is no point to wash it because after few minutes it gets dirty again. Lack of electricity bothers me still. I am still learning how to drive a motorbike and yesterday I had a small crash - nothing bad happened just another lesson!I usually drive to get to the town only so it means that maybe after few weeks I ... read more

When I left the boat in Kao Lak I was going to head down to Hat Ton Sai Beach, but on the way down it absolutely chucked it down with rain. After a very wet visit to the James Bond Island in Pagna Marine National Park, I decided to give the beach a miss and head back up north. Hopefully, I'll come back and do the beaches after the Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam circuit. Instead I decided to head back north to Kanchanaburi...the weather had been getting better up there, so maybe it was just on and off monsoon still down south. This was the trip I was going to do with Bev from the elephant camp.....hiring a scooter and heading north from Kanchanaburi up to the Burma Border. The weather was good in Kanchanaburi. I even ... read more

Hey so we wanted to get away from the usual tourist route so took a bus further west to Sangkulaburi, we were now close to the Burma boarder, this town had a wonderful mixture of cultures, from the Burmes refugees to the western Thias. We took a canoe out on the great lake and genrally relaxed in this very beautiful town. The only thng was that every night we had to watch a video by the tour group who were using our hotel as lodgings, elephant trecking from 10 solid minets whilst eating a green curry, great entertainment. ... read more
