Week Nr 5

OK this is gonna be actually a bit longer than a just one week ... So on Tuesday we went out with Mat to an Indian restaurant to eat some native dishes and to smoke some shisa... it was a really nice place to chill out so if any of you may visit me here i definitely have a place to take out to ...

The real big fun started on Thursday tough. Sandra, Christophe, Jonas and me decided to go wakeboarding. Yes even me... Well just like many other things it was ridiculously cheap (7 euros for 2 hours...). We had tons of fun despite the fact that Sandra and me did not really manage to stand on the board more than hm... 5 seconds maybe (kk actually she was a bit better but it was already her second time !!! – cheater :P). So by the end of the day we got extremely exhausted (didn’t even imagine before this is so tiring...) Of course the day after i woke up with terrible pains in my entire body :D oh by the way i wanna congratulate to Johnas and Christophe for being able to stand on that god damn board ... :D wish i could do that one day too... well maybe another time (or rather in another life...)

Friday: Of course there can be no Friday without party... well this time actually it turned out to be the best party in Bangkok so far. It was a night poolparty in an extremely nice environment with basically all the exchange students around us, we really had a lot of fun, tough none of us were brave enough to carry our cameras there, so we kinda miss the pictures, but at least we have really nice memories from that night ! For me it was even more interesting cause i had a plane to catch at 10:50, so i had to wake up latest time by 6:30 next day... (telling you that i went to bed at 4 you can calculate how much i slept... little math :D)

OK so now comes to real interesting part: TRIP TO PHUKET !!!

We already planned this trip with my Italian friends for like 2 weeks, so i was really eager to finally go there. Everything was nice until we actually landed at the island... u can find out: of course it was RAINING !!! but not like in Europe, it was damn raining horizontally ! As we didn’t have any formal plans regarding the trip itself we just started inquiring about the place at the Airport so at the end a taxi driver drove to some place which was said to be the party centre of this island... Well it was more or less true but here party means something else for the locals... cause why do the Europeans come to this place ? so why ? of course to have sex with the local hookers.. so basically we ended up at the local red light district (which was more or less a size of a small town) and especially cause it was off season and due to the bad weather as well we were one of the few tourist so the local “ladies” really tried everything to convince us to use their “services”...


Well all in all this trip was way more different than i originally planned but still we had a lot of fun. We went out to some really nice restaurant, tried the local dishes (which were damn expensive...) and finally i managed to make an old dream of mine come true: Riding an Elephant !!!! it was a really unique experience even tough i would never try it again :P it wasn’t bad at all but lets say it was enough...



Unfortunately there was a huge tragedy that put us in a really bad mood right on the second day of our trip. As you may have heard about it, a plan crashed at Phuket Airport on Sunday and almost 90 people were killed in this fatal accident... Of course we were shocked when we saw in the television the first pictures so we tried to inform our families back home that we are fine. Actually previously we wanted to change our tickets for that night (because of the bad weather) but thanks God the system didn’t let us modify the ticket 24 before the take off... Anyway the airport was closed till next evening (when we actually had our rescheduled flight) so after like a 4-5 hour delay we managed to reach Bangkok again in one piece...
