Yep. Some definate kibbles and bits going on strong...

This place is freaking weird. I like it like that though....Lets see....where did I leave off...Adam, Ten and I stayed in Bangkok for a few more days. We chilled out on Ko San Road. Well, not really chilled out. Its like a constant Farang parade day and night. Farang means foreigner. I want to get an "I love Farang" t-shirt made before I leave. That would be awesome. I see the bumper stickers everywhere.

So we went to some bars...blah blah blah...the usual drinking scene. Tenneal has some friends (Rob and Anthea) that are living in Pattaya working as dive instructors. They came to Bangkok to hang out with us and BAM! Wouldn't you know it, we decided to get our advanced scuba diving with them. The friend discount was a definate perk😊 So we bid Bangkok a fairwell and headed to the most insane city I have ever seen. Oh yes, this even beats Nimbin.


We went to the tiger zoo and got a picture taken with a 6 month old tiger. Then, we bribed the dude working in the nursery to let us hold a 3

Sooo cute!
week old. It was sooooo cute. It smelled like pee SOOOOO bad but with a face like that who could throw up?

Our scuba has been very cool. Our first 2 dives were at a shipwreck 30m down. Oh yes thats right 30 METERS. You have to be ADVANCED for that hardcore depth😊 Seeing as it was our first wreck dive we weren't allowed to go inside, but since our friends took us down we got to go inside anyways...hee hee. It was really eerie. The depth made it a lot darker than what we are used to. This made it more EERIE. The only part that sucked was when I got sea urchin stingers lodged into my leg. They are not gentle😊

Our next 4 dives were pretty good. I liked our last dive the most. We played with an octopus and sea horses. I got to pet a baby shark too. Talk about bonding with nature. I'm the next Steve freaking Erwin😊

What else, what else. We spent a night in Boy Town for Canada Day. This is where all the lady-boys come out to play. They are quite hilarious. We got to see a

This little guy was strong!
lot of free shows with various ladyboys singing to cher, tina turner and madonna. They are terrible, but thats what makes it fun. We went to this crazy bar where there are porches and other various "pimp" cars parked inside. EVERYTHING was white with HUGE white couches. It was a really super posh bar.

So right now we are still in Pattaya. We have one more night here and then its back to Bangkok to meet the lovely Warren G, before checking out the full moon party in Ko Pha Ngan. We have a group of 12 or so people so we all hope to get bungalows beside each other. I can't wait. These last few weeks are going to be amazing!

Peace!
