So anyway, about in late July i went to Koh Samui for a few days to visit my god-sis, before school started and all the 300 level shit piled up, and i rather blog than do homework.

scootered around most of the island, but stayed mostly in Mae Nam area, which is west of Chaweng, the popularer spot for holiday makers. Also, went to see some of the tourist attractions, like Wat Phra Yai (Big Buddha)........which is basically a statue...of a big Buddha.

Those boxy things are fortune teller machines, the Buddhist version. And on the right of that are like statues representing what kind of character/ personality you have based on the day you were born. I forgot what was what, but i think mine was proud/stubborn BUT usually right. basically i'm an asshole.

annnnnd, Hin Ta lae Hin Ya, two natural rock formations, aka Cock Rock and Clit Cleft.


as well as traipse around the various beaches still uninvaded by bloated tourists.

My future house/beach paradise/drug hideout.

Visited the school where god-sis is teaching now, and I think teaching primary or seconday school kids is alot scarier than tertiary. Like, standing up in front of thirty or forty cherub-faced children who are all actually the spawn of satan and having to control the class, and it's not like you can smack them around either. Really tough. Kudos to teachers everywhere!

And in between all that, got a taste of the rural life, and fun with animals and all. Good times roll on.

Riding elephants and going to see waterfalls!

The waterfalls, had to trek/bash through half an hour's worth of jungle trail. We're talking rocks and mud and tree roots. Mountain goat path. Super fun if it was supposed to be an adventure trek, not so fun for a bum like me.
And right at the top, there was a dude in a shanty lean-to selling drinks and stuff. Which means everyday he clambers up to the top toting Coolers and bottles of drinks to sell to thirsty tourists who got more of a workout than they wanted, i.e. everyone who's not a local who goes up there.

Farming chickens! (actually, was the neighbours' chickens. We were just feeding them bits of fruits)


Watching buffalo fights (which is a daily thing in Samui), and I was told (jokingly, i think) that the winner gets an all-you-can-eat-buffet and the loser gets a one way ticket to an abattoir in Phuket. Like seriously.

Locking horns and smacking the shit out of each other.


Shit smacked and running for what's going to be most of the rest of his life.


Seriously.
