It has been many many days since I last gave my blog any colorful entry... it must have been boring for you guys!
Things have been happening... yes, so much, but too much to get them on here. Syndy is BACK!! Yes, our beloved friend from her second home, Toronto. It was a big surprise and a pleasant one, I know she's back so she can be here to send me off. Another sad news for me, because I wouldn't bear to leave more people behind. She has got a few loving slaps from me for that unexpected surprise!! It's 5th August now. In less than 2 weeks, I fly...
13 days. Every one of them so much more precious than any other time I ever had in my life! My 4 nights at Phuket went by too fast, it brought August nearer - so much faster than it would have been just with my daily boring routine. Phuket has lived up to its name of a wonderful beach (not clean but exciting enough). The currents certainly are amazingly stronger than what we have in little island, Singapore. The moment I touched down into the water from the short para-sailing adventure, I wondered if I'd be swept away...
I have to say I hate shopping in Phuket. The people are crazy, the prices for tourists are even worse. There is a good variety of food, and I've to say food are definitely more worth the money. Sea sports are not cheap, the whole beach is becoming too commercial. You even have to pay to sit on those benches. To be honest, there is not much to do there except numerous hours of expensive shopping (you can't help worrying you get cheated another time). It is a must to venture out to the islands around Phuket. We had a cruise to 4 islands, sea canoe under rocks, swimming in the clear-blue water, stepped onto the shores laid of shells (not sand!)...
I wouldn't want to go there for another beach holiday, I guess there's more beautiful and less commercial places around. But the bikinis in Thailand are a great buy!!!! wink wink
Plus, they do fascinating flower-carved soaps...
