New Years on Phi Phi Island

:::written yesterday but couldn’t upload because internet wasn’t working:::

New Years on Phi Phi Island was great. It’s a small tropical island, with tiny little walkways jam packed with young people from all over the world. Flip flops, bikinis, sand, Ray Bans, little animals wandering around, sarongs for sale, peeps handing out flyers for the nightclubs, banana pancake stands, Australian accents, lithe bodies, and “paradise” may be words that describe the environment.

This little boy is soooo cute!!

Sunday was my visa run, so I flew to Malaysia and back. I also called Orbitz, the company I bought my airline tickets from, and they said that I had the option of flying on January 20th at no charge because it was the “same class” of tickets, but if I chose any other day to return home, I would have to pay at least $500 for change fee plus fare difference. Since I am trying to watch my money, ...

Not Ready to Go

Just a quick update! After my time off of classes to heal up the staph, I was SO ready to get back into it! It sucked to have to “quarantine” myself. Monday I took classes and that was ever so fun. Tuesday I took classes and that was ever so fun. And today I’m ready for more! The only thing I kind of need to figure out is how to balance it all out. I want to take so many ...

That’s my forearm. Looks weird in the picture? Anyway, peeps, looks like I must delay training once more.
Who: Me

Why: Training Jiu Jitsu in the Tropics?
How: I don’t know. I wash with anti-bacterial soap after training, shower 2-3 times a day, wear long shirts and pants. But so many peeps have staph here, and it’s all ...

Phi Phi Islands

Let’s see, where did I leave off? After working out a lot on Monday, Tuesday I was pooped. I took a morning class and then I vegged for the rest of the day. Wednesday (today) was off, too…but for good reason…we went on a Phi Phi Islands Tour!!!! It was SPECTACULAR. We stopped at Maya Bay (the beach featured in the movie “The Beach” with Leonardo DiCaprio), Loh Samah, Pileh Lagoon, Monkey Beach, and Khai Nok Island! My favorite part ...

Phuket: dead bodies and fighting training

This morning my sleep was quite fretful because not only was I emotionally riled up, but I kept on having visions of this dead Thai girl. You see, last night on the way back to Tiger, right at the intersection before you go down our street- was a lot of traffic. We were riding in a tuk-tuk, which is a car with no windows so we could see everything very clearly. As we made the turn, I saw a Thai ...

Patong + Kata Beach

Saturday night we went to Patong. VERY different from the quiet street I live. Flashy lights, clubs, bars, ladyboys, cigarettes, shots, loud music, people asking you every 10 seconds to see a PING PONG show!!! Please, people, you know what this means…Not into any of that stuff so much, but interesting to take it all in. My favorite part was walking past a “fish therapy” place and Tina wanted to try it! So we did 🙂 The fish are supposed ...
