Phuket

We made it! Finally after all the planning, watching videos, and all the talking we are here. Its hot, very, very hot. We are staying at the Aspery hotel in Patong beach. Aside from my room not having a safe, my fridge doesn't work, and I don't have hot water it's actually pretty nice. Blake's room across the hall has everything. Oh and my room was covered in blood. Nice. One recommendation AC, AC, AC, AC if you are thinking of going cheap its not worth it. Spend the money on AC. No question about it. The beach is amazing. Coconuts filled with thai whiskey and fresh coconut milk is damn good. Of course we didnt make it past 5 pm yesterday. I can tell already that Phuket is not the cheapest place in the world. Lunch, granted we went huge, was 30 bucks. Tiger prawns the size of your shoe for 4 dollars isnt too bad. Tempura shrimp appetizer? 12 shrimp, asparagus, cauliflower(well what we think was some sort of similar thing!) and onions for 4 dollars.

Note to self, don't get drunk at the bar the night before you leave for a 5 month trip and let your friends shave a mohawk in your hair. Although it was in support of a friend going through chemo so its for a good cause.

 So this is our friend Whis nice guy helped us out huge! Plus got us drunker than well you know.
