We used to always go to Thailand when I was younger so we've been all over. Last few years, we stopped going as much because we pretty much got sick of it. This summer, we were thinking - or rather, my parents were thinking - of Rome, but due to a wedding in Europe next year anyway, we decided on a trip back to Thailand.
Hong kong to Phuket to Hua Hin to Vietnam to Bangkok to Hong Kong
Phuket was mainly beaches and shopping, despite my dad's wary impatience at the latter activity, and my blatant disgust for the former. I don't like beaches. They are a combination of everything I despise: people, sand, seawater and sun.
I sucked it up long enough, but 4 times in one week - more than I usually go in a year - got to me and I sulked in the heat a bit.
Oh, and we went parasailing which was pretty cute. I was kind of hoping for something to break so I could just parachute down into the water.
but it didn't happen.
We didn't actually stay ~in~ phuket town, but Patong city, which is full of nightlife and ladyboys and australians. My inner alchy lusted after the cheap drinks but this is er, a detox for me, (after last saturday's...whatever that was...) and instead settled for buying cheap stuff and stuffing myself - and then regretting it later.
Moved around twice. From a hotel in center of Patong to a friend's place at a golf resort. Ran around the golf course and got incredibly tired. Jumped in the pool in my underwear. Took photos.
Oh, and we watched Harry Potter in opening day in the nicest cinema ever, (included buffet, big plush chairs and blankets? yes please.) The blankets came in useful and I left several mascara stains on them as I actually managed to cry all my makeup off like a big wimp. There goes the end of my childhood...
Got back and wrote a heartfelt review - with a strong abundance of caps - to Esme and mourned the end of a series that had been with me for 10 years.
Went for a cute walk with my sister. Hid from passing golf carts, "We look so lame!" and spent all day in the pool. Almost drowned in the deep end because I was laughing too hard.
She can be quite nice (sometimes)
Flew to Bangkok and drove down to Hua Hin yesterday. This place is gorgeous, (another friend's house on a resort thing.) I bought cheap good conditioner and shampoo and this pleased me greatly because i have an irrational obsession with hair products. (My dye has faded and although I brought some, I think I should give it a break for now.)
The summer set's "Everything Fine" is the soundtrack of my summer.
I have a new love for feather earrings.
Spoken a fair bit to everyone back in Hong Kong. I left at quite an awkward time - everyone else is still there for now. Pretty excited to go back as well ~ will talk more about that later maybe. I haven't heard from my best friend for like 2 weeks. It sucks, I miss him.
I should probably get off the computer now.
