Day 147: Phuket Party Pix Flashback

G'day,

This was a very weird night in Phuket!

On my way back to the resort I got a foot massage (highly recommended) as my feet were killing me all day. I had bought these sandals earlier in the day and they really scuffed up both my feet.

While I was getting a massage the other girls started to chat to me as it was near closing time. They gave me a drink and then invited me out to a real Thai disco, not the ones foreigners go to.

I was a little nervous because in situations like this you are never really sure what's going to happen. The reality is I am in Thailand by myself and if I got into any trouble no one would know where I am.

Well, I am happy to say that I had a great night. The girls spoke pretty good English so we could communicate, even though the Thai music was pumping out real loud!

It was definitely a much cooler atmosphere than at the other places I went to. People were spontaneously jumping up and dancing to the live band and bongo drums. It was going off!

The Thai people I met that night were so friendly. Sometimes, if you let yourself go with the flow you can have really cool experiences that you otherwise would not have.

Here are the party pics, you may notice one interesting character in the last pic!

Peace,
AJ

Day 146: Phuket Action Pix!

G'day,

Well, I have finally got my action pix from Phuket down to a reasonable file size.

On the second last day, me and my German friends did a Patong jungle tour which included rock climbing, abseiling, rope walking, jungle trekking and a ride on a flying fox.

This was my favourite part of my whole trip because it is the first time in 7 years that I could even contemplate doing these kinds of intense activities (in 40 degree heat!).

I always used to be limited by my previously obese body as to what I could do on holiday tours...NOT anymore! It felt especially awesome to be able go rock climbing, as it is something I have always wanted to do.

Check out the pix below.

Peace,
AJ

P.S. My Day 146 pics are at the bottom of this entry. I can already see what a big difference this new caloric surplus is having on my body. I just can't wait to start Mission 3 so I can get back into hardcore training. But for now I must be patient!
