4/15/02 Near Erawan, Thailand (Phillip)
Hopped on a bus with Eve and finally got to Ko Phi Phi and quickly bumped into the Canadians (Nate and Ryan). They're cool kids and I'll have to go visit them soon, hopefully in November since I should be in the States anyway and Canada's not THAT far of a walk :) They were quite amused when I asked if they were close to New York, apparently Edmonton is quite far away :) We didn't actually do too much on the island, went snorkeling and that's about it.
Eve and I caught the night bus, loaded with tourists of all sizes to Bangkok and, after quite a few cell phone calls, we finally met up with Prin. On the bus I met two Scots both from the town I lived when I was born, (mum- they even lived on Woodstock Avenue... I bet you knew them). Immediately we were off again, this time back to the Monks place.
Since we arrived yesterday it’s been a lot of practicing meditation. Up at 4am too! Crazy stuff. I keep falling asleep while I meditate so I have to work on that (I'm totally relaxed :). We might have to go back to Bangkok a little early if we want a ride back with Prin, otherwise we can stay on and negotiate the local bus system again.
