first open water dive

i took my first open water dive today, two of them actually. it was like swimming in a milkshake. i'm still pretty stoked though. two more tomorrow and i'll have my cert. then it's off to krabi.

i've been sharing a bungalo with these two british guys, they're both really fun. done quite a bit of drinking and eating, listened to a lot of bad asian pop music and wishing i could stay longer. i spent an entire evening trying to talk myself into changing my ticket so i could go rock climbing and then head into laos and cambodia. then i realized that my parents leave the day before i get back and the cat will expect someone to feed him for the week they'll be gone. probably for the best.

my new day dream (that may yet become a plan) is to go home and make enough money that i can do a trip across europe into russia, take the trans-siberia railway drop into china, teach english for a while. tour southeast asia, then down to australia try to work for a while, hit new zeland and then back up through the islands and then home.
