How was your Wednesday?Hours go by without you noticing. I'm pretty sure I literally stared at the sea for half a day. I may have gotten up to walk up and down "meditation beach" but that's it.
Our new friend Tom showed up out of nowhere as usual and we booked the snorkelling trip he'd recommended. He's been on Koh Samet for three weeks (he meant to stay for three days) so knows everything - the people, where to eat, fruit stalls, how many farang each bartender has slept with...! He'd been toying with getting this tattoo but seemed really uncomfortable with what the Thai guys at the tattoo place had come up with - we convinced him that it's him that's going to have to live with it for the rest of his life so he shouldn't go for something he wasn't sure of.
That evening we went to the bar at our hostel (Naga's) to put on a film (everywhere's dead until about 9.30pm) and this little Thai girl appeared out of nowhere and put on The Lion King which we proceeded to watch in Thai with English subtitles, singing along (in English) to the very weird songs which the mini-Thais enjoyed.
Entee and meThey were pretty distracting though and I ended up teaching them a few handgames (making a mask out of your fingers, trying to slap your friends' hands). They brought me some of their sweets which were absolutley grim. Tor returned later to find me wrestling two Thai kids desperately trying to get me to eat 6 or 7 of these gross sweets by holding my nose and pushing them in my mouth. They were unsuccessful - but still cute.
We met A Turkish guy Deniz and our chum Tom in the bar where Deniz completely baffled me with a card trick the bartenders had taught him. It took me about eight tries to twig that he had a rigged card but by that point I was crying with hysterics. The four of us headed to a club for a boogie and a bucket on the beach...
