Full Moon time!

I'm sat here just a few hours before the full moon party which promises to be one hell of an event. The build up to the party, the few days prior is just as good, beach parties every night and we went to one a couple of days ago for one of the most mental nights ever. It involved me going in the sea with my phone in my pocket and waking up with some impressive war wounds I can't remember getting. My lesson was learned, STAY OFF THE SANGSOM WHISKY!

A special mention to Harvey's bar. This guy (Harvey) is a legend, his bar has everything, great food, a pool table, puzzles, games, a laptop with films and tv programs on it, good music and a playstation. There's no reason ever to leave, and we don't! We tend to stay there til morning and sleep in the day, sometimes if we're lucky before we go he whips us up a bacon sandwich. When he has to pop out, he leaves us in charge of the bar and if we're short on money we can pay up the next day. He opens the bar when he wakes up, and closes it when we go home. If you want food at 3 am then as long as his missus is awake she'll cook you up something.

We'll be heading there before tonights 2 day long beach rave, apparently of the 10,000 that head there each month a few always go missing, wish us luck!

That's no moon, its a space station!

We're now in Ko Phangan (now spelt correctly) this is the island that houses both the full moon and the half moon parties. We're here for the next 2 weeks having just left Ko Samui. I didn't blog from Ko Samui because there wasn't really much to say, it was a very sleepy island, we spent most ofthe day lying on the beach. We did manage to play a game of golf and visit the tiger zoo though, and we climbed into one of the cages to have our photos taken with a particularly tame tiger who doesn't seem to mind humans too much, you can see the photos on my Flickr page mentioned in my last blog. So after two weeks chilling, its time to party, we've only been here 2 days and already more has happened then in K S. Last night we went to a bar at 5 o clock and didn't leave til 8 in the morning. The night before we decided to skimp a taxi and climbed into the back of a guys Jeep instead, luckily he ended up driving right past our hotel. Later that night I paid a guy 1000 thai baht to eat a live flying beetle thing that was about the size of my thumb, another guy chipped in the same amount, totalling to just over 30 pounds to eat the thing, then I saw a lizard (only a small one) and we tred to grab it to see if he'd eat that too but it was too fast for us.

I said I'd tell you about the Germans, basically my good deed for the trip is now done. I met a really drunk German guy in the night club next to my guest house back in Bangkok, he was drunker then an Irishman on a Tuesday, actually he was so drunk he said he was from Bolivia.... He passed out on the bar in front of me and due to a falling out with his friend now had no means of getting home. So I let him and his other mate crash at our place, later on their Thai friend came too, which meant there were 5 of us sleeping in a room 2 people can barely fit in. We were so noisy, 2 Americans came to complain but ended up talking to us for an hour or so, which meant there were now 7 of us! The point is that my good deed is done now and I've done my bit to help along Anglo - German relations. I'm going to stop typing now as this keyboard is quite simply awful, having to press each button twice is getting rather tedious and I hope you excuse any typos.

Off to watch the final day of the premiership season now, then its half moon tomorrow, stay tuned!
