It's pronounced 'Poo-ket'

In Phuket now! It's the town where the name isn't pronounced like it's spelled. It's blistering hot here. Luckily we booked a room with A/C in it. Thank the lord. When you open the door, it's like being hit by a brick wall with humidity. You immediately get this sticky-semi wet residue on your skin. ughhghh. I do not like it. Fortunately the beach is a brisk stroll away if you want to go for a dip or soak up some sun. The water is an excellent 30 degrees but there are these enormous waves that pound you into the ground if you so happen to go in the water. It gets a little annoying and tiring after a bit, but good overall. Tomorrow is diving!! Can't wait. I could do without the 'leaving at 8 am' portion. I ended up falling asleep in the sun today at the beach, but somehow turned onto my side. So now i have like a red left shoulder and thigh. How attractive. I also noticed that the sand from the 'white sand beaches of Phuket' is darker than the skin on my legs. That's not embarrassing. Anywho, time for bed because I'm burning the midnight oil being up at quarter to 11; and this guy that fell asleep in the bed beside me keeps half awakingly angrily mumbling at me.

love your Kailand in Thailand,
Kai
