Hello from Phuket! Actually, we're somewhere outside of Phuket, in a place that was hit by the tsunami. Since it's stormy outside and Erin's bf lives in an appartment at an Internet Cafe, what better way to spend the afternoon than updating my blog?
So the conference ended on Friday and I said goodbye to my friends. Sniff, sniff. I'll be traveling for a few more days with 3 other girls and then on Thursday it's back to Switzerland for a couple more months of French studies.
Here's a few surprising things about Thailand:
1) It's acceptable to say things like: "You're looking fat today," "I think you got fatter," "See that fat man down there? Turn left by him and you'll find the Internet cafe." But don't dare to call someone short. That would be insulting!
2) Statistically there is one beauty pageant for every day of the year in Thailand. We enjoyed one at the mall just last night.
3) On the beach you can just sit back and buy whatever you'd ever want, as the vendors simply come to you. Cortney says she once was offered rakes and toilet brushes. "Nothing is impossible in Thailand."
