I'm on an island!!!

♫ Sunshine, sunshine, it's fine
I feel it in my skin, warming up my mind,
Sometimes you gotta give in to win,
I love the days when it shines, whoa let it shine...♫

Yesterday was a wonderful travel day. No hassle, totally simple. Such a nice change from everything that went wrong in China.
We got up early (which was a bit hard after the many large Changs I had the night before...oops) and argued with taxi men until we got one that would use the meter. We arrived at the bus terminal within minutes of the bus leaving. Had a pleasant ride.
We met Norm. A man that I approached after seeing the shirt we had on. It was a teal shirt with the best hockey emblem on the front of it.
"I know that this is probably super weird and I don't want you to think that I'm crazy but I had to tell you that I think your shirt is awesome. Can I have a picture with you to show everyone back home that Sharks hockey is now becoming global?!" It was awesome. Go Sharks (hopefully, next season will be better...)
We found a place to stay...since it's low season right now, we are paying about $14 for two people for a nice bungalow on the ocean with gorgeous views. I know, y'all can be jealous now.
After a large Singha beer and 4 hours of laying in a hammock reading 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (in which I learned the logistics of how to fly), we headed to a nearby bar and sat on cushions and had more beer. Played card games and board games until it was proper time to head back down to the bungalow.

Thinking about renting a motorbike and cruising around the island now. I don't expect I'll have much to blog about being here though...it's going to be lazy days with my book and possibly some Jack Johnson tunes to relax and chill...

Ciao for now. Much love
