Discovering the world underneath the surface…

Heya guys!

I spent the last few days on a small island called Koh Tao in the Gulf of Thailand -  a truly nice place to hang out! I rented a small bungalow right at the beach and fell asleep listening to the sounds of the ocean, nice, aye? I rather spontaneously decided to do a diving course, and I’m glad I did! It’s such an incredible experience to dive down into this peaceful world and discover life down there! It’s so peaceful and calm, and you really just feel weightless and free! It’s fun to observe the fish and all the other living organisms (we even saw a whale shark the other day!!!) – you would never believe how rich the world is underneath the surface! If you ever get the chance to do some diving – go for it!

Well, besides diving I spent a lot of time just chilling or wandering along the beaches and in the bars. It’s fairly easy to get to know people here, I’ve been here a week now and I can’t walk through the village without having to stop every couple of meters and have a quick chat with somebody I met the night before… It’s almost like a home away from home… I’m a bit sad to have to leave tonight, but my visa expires so I’ll take a night boat and several busses busses tonight and head down to Georgetown, Malaysia and then spend two weeks discovering that country before starting to make my way home… Time is flying, geeeeeze, I can’t believe it’s already mid-May!

Oh well, I’ll better use the remaining few hours on this island in order to chill at the beach and have a couple of fruit shakes instead of hanging on the internet, so I keep it short today… Hope you’re all good, I look forward to see you all soon!
