Phuket trip.
I know it is a very long overdue entry, but I really want to write about it, so here goes.
04.12.2009 - 08.12.2009
It was a short trip, but it was certainly a memorable one.
Mitch and I were not the smartest people, really. We were cheated for so many times there that I think we would have been much richer (in Baht) if we were better learners. When we reached the Backpacker Hostel, we were almost cheated by the receptionists who claimed that they no longer had any room that we had had booked earlier, so we had to be put in a more expensive room. BLEAH. Then, we were cheated by a Tuk-Tuk driver and his friend the very next day. Hmph, I should learn more from my mom.
Anyway, Mitch and I went to Kata Beach, where Jo and her parents stayed. And it was the most beautiful beach I have ever seen, with the most awesome and biggest wave I have ever felt my entire life. It was an awesome feeling, and I literally felt as if I was in the movie 'The Beach', although it wasn't really the same island, and I didn't actually get to see anyone nearly as handsome as Leonardo Dicaprio (Sadly.) And Mitch, Jo, and I had the most amazing, not to mention cheap, Thai massage, which Mitch claimed to have helped heal her GIGANTIC bruise. And for the very first time in my life, I actually experienced being so broke that I can't afford a bowl of noodle. Mitch said that it was very sad, and I think it really was, but now every time I tell the story to people, I actually find it pretty amusing, and somehow a great memory to keep :S
Mitch and I went to Patong Beach the next day by local bus. Yes, we were trying to be real backpackers :S It was an awesome trip! We were having fun, jet-skying and somehow the machine stopped working when we were in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by jellyfishes bigger than Mitch's gigantic head. I panicked and I kept telling Mitch how she might have to pee on me (The scene from Friends came in mind). Luckily for us, we were saved by a very good looking and hot angmoh *drool* I think he was gay, though. BLEAH. Anyway, at night we went to the weekend market, and we ate so much that I feel full every time I recall that night. Too bad I could not find my bugs to eat =X And later that night, we were confronted by our own lack of understanding and comunication, and it wasn't pleasant, but I think it was necessary, and it was worth it.
Aah, I want to go again!!! With more money of course! :S
Favourite quote on the trip:
Mitch : It was only cheap because we used to be rich.
*When I was wondering how on earth I had thought that the alcohol in Phuket had been freakishly cheap*
Mitch : The story of my life, man!
*When we were stuck in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by huge jellyfish*
