Day Four – Songkran continues


Today we've been here only four days, but it feels much longer.. I've already got used to the time difference.. and I'm missing my family.. friends.. and of course my boyfriend.. Wish they were all here.*_*

About this morning and afternoon I don't have that much to tell.. Only sunbathing, sunbathing and sunbathing..And the result is red skin.:D But in the evening we walked to the city center, once again, to find something to eat.. In a restaurant, of course, we didnt go for hunting.xD But while we were trying to find a nice restaurant, we saw a kind of aquarium full of little fishes.. They were called Doctor fishes, because.. I cant tell it or I start to feel ticklish.. We put our feet in that ”aquarium” and stayed like that for 20 minutes.. For that time the doctors were eating all the dead skin, to make the feet all soft and smooth.. But it really tickles!:D





Could you put your feet there?:D



After the foot massage we had dinner in a nice restaurant and walked back to our hotel.. Then we took our kites..or lanterns, whatever you want to call them.. and went to the beach. There all we had to do was to light a fire under them, so they'd fly like some hot air balloons.. It was part of the new year party at our hotel (that we didn't join because we were at the city center).. even though we were the only ones lighting the lanterns, it was beautiful.:)




Make a wish.. :)


I wanted to publish this yesterday but I couldn't, because there were some problems with the connection.. Btw I didn't take these photos..

Day Three - Happy New Year!




Today I couldn't take so many pictures for this blog, because from today till maybe 15th or 16th there's a new year party, Songkran (not sure about how to spell it) that literally means ”water fiest” or something like that.. People are throwing water on everyone, to be clean for the new year.. here they're celebrating new year three times per year, but the year is changing only in January.. Anyways here they're a way beyond us, I mean with the time, here it's year 2554, so coming here is almost like time travelling. :D

There's not much to tell about today, since it's only 3 in the afternoon and we've been just swimming and sunbathing, but something really ”nice” happened to me anyways..
After breakfast we decided to go to walk on the beach.. then we thought it would be nice to swim a little bit, too, so we walked into the sea.. We stayed there maybe for 10 minutes, when I felt pain on my right leg.. Or it was more like burning.. Of course I knew immediately what it was, even though I couldn't see anything.. And this time I'm not going to call it my friend.. I'm not that much into jellyfishes.xP Now my leg is not burning anymore, thanks to a medicine & some lemon stuff I got from a waiter to put on my leg, but I still have a harry-potter-like sign on my leg.. Very ”cool”. :D
I think I'm not going to go for that diving trip, even though it would be really nice to go there, to see what's happening under the sea.. I just don't want to meet any other jellyfish.. and it's also kind of expensive, over 150 euros, that trip.. So maybe I'll just go to ride an elephant, that would be awesome as well. :)

Now we should walk to the city center again, to buy some water to drink and to see the real Songkran. It's going to be a wet day! Hahah.. x)
