WE LOVE IT HERE!!!!
heheheheeee!!! so good!!
we were both feeling a little under the weather due to the previous days' going-away-party festivities and so we ate a fantastic sandwich down the road (where they make our sandwich as we walk in because they know what we're going to get... ) . after wards we said goodbye to everyone (no tears this time!) and made our way to phuket town.

thank god for the public transit!! let me just lay this out for you. everytime we had to go to phuket town (about 25 minutes away) and we had to go quite often recently for interviews etc, we had to pay 400-500 baht both ways, plus whatever we spent place to place once we got there. so about 1000 baht in a day to phuket town just for transportation, that works out to roughly 33$ . that's a LOT1!!! especially since a tank of gas only costs 100 baht (3.30$) and lasts like a week. ugghhhh such a tourist trap! anyways, so the public transit is 25 baht anywhere (less than a dollar) . we spent 50 baht instead of 1000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how good is that?!!??!?!!?!??!!??!!??!
we're getting the hang of this.. if someone told us this stuff from day one we would probably be about 30,000,000,000 baht richer. lol . acutally, this is sad. ... ..

we worked it out, and the amount that we spent on tuktuks (thai for taxi.. means cheapcheap.. YEAH RIGHT) .. could have bought us a motorcycle here. isn't that discusting?! ughhh sooo annoyyyinggggg. but then I think about how many cabs back home i got for 30$ ... i could probably have saved all those times and bought a cheap car so i guess it's kinda the same. but when you're not working... 1000 baht is a lot just for transportation. anyways that s my rant.

here in surat thani, a tuktuk costs like 20 baht to go for like 30 minutes. wayyy better.
but there's like, no english here so we're going to have to step up our thai a notch.

we ordered our lunch today in thai. it was a little rough and broken but they understood us , and we weren't served any meat so we're doing alright I Think!!
we are now staying with our friend Scott. he's really cool and has an adorable son named sebastian. so cute! huge beautiful home, and he's paying 7,000 baht a month (about 200$ ) ...... SO GOOD EH?!!?!
we love surat thani.
yay! will take pics and show you soon.
