Courtney and I went out to Koh Phi Phi from Phuket (where they filmed "The Beach"), in search of semi-deserted beaches. Unfortunately, Phi Phi was completely overrun with filthy backpackers, but it ended up working out in our favor because we were there for Canada Day and spent most of the evening drinking with really excited Canadians. Then, we wandered over to a beach-front bar where we met some boys from South Carolina, played pool with them, and danced on the beach at this really fun bar. One of them was a Cotillian (sp?) dancer and knew how to do all these crazy spins and dips. Lots of fun.
A few days ago, we left Thailand and are now in Bali, which is AMAZING. Arguably my favorite vacation spot ever. The food is amazing and the people are so adorable. Today, we went on a bike ride through the country-side and all these small children ran into the street to say Hello and high-five us as we rode by. It's currently a festival week here ("good-beats-evil day"), and people are making these giant bamboo poles with flowers and leaves all over them and it's beautiful. Two nights ago we went and saw a Kechak dance (featured in "Baraka"), which was unreal. I'm doing a terrible job of describing all things Balinese, so I'm going to stop there. We have tons of photos and videos, which I'll post once we get back to Thailand to my computer. I miss all you Americans and hope you had a wonderful 4th of July.
