Phuket

We made it into Thailand with no problems. I was kind of sad to leave Korea so fast. This is a country that I would love to explore and see more of. One very interesting thing about Seoul that we noticed was their pursuit of fitness and health. There were very few over-weight people. So few in fact that it was noticeable to Susan and I. There are these little exercise parks everywhere throughout the city. It was amazing! As we toured the city these parks would be full of people exercising. Some would be doing Tai-Chi while others would be running, cycling, walking, or using the exercise equipment in the parks. Everywhere we went people were exercising. Waiting for a bus or taxi there would be people stretching or meditating. A very different world than what I am use to.

Phuket. We have been here for a few days now and I wish I could tell you how amazing it really is. I don't think the photos can adequately do Phuket justice. Everywhere you look there is something gorgeous, unbelievable and downright bizarre. I love it! The hotel we staying is an absolute work of art. It will take your breath away, again and again.

Yesterday we went diving at the Similan Islands. Honestly, I was little nervous. We just got certified and here we are, scuba diving in the middle of the ocean. On the way to the pier I was talking to a guy from England, but living in Australia. He has dove all over the world and joked when I told him this was my first real dive that I wasn't leaving any room for lesser dives. I guess this is suppose to be a good dive. Well, it was. We took a speed boat out to the islands. Have you ever ridden in a speed boat through the ocean for an hour and a half? It isn't exactly a smooth ride, but I will tell you this. It was easily worth the jarring. We met up with the dive boat out at one of the Similan Islands. After our quick dive orientation (a sort of blend of Thai and English) and getting split up with a dive master we got our gear on and hopped into the ocean. The fish, corral, and ocean plant life was amazing. Who would have thought that at 20 meters the colors would be so vibrant. It was stunning. It was a two tank dive and I was thrilled with the entire thing. I can understand how one could become so addicted to scuba diving.
