Saterday;
so i stayed over karins, and we woke up pretty early at 8;00 we got showered. jack called me we talked for a bit, he was on the bus to surit thani for the weekend so it was hard to hear em. anyway karins host dad dissapeared for a while, and we found him, and went out for some breakfast. after breakfast me and karin got our bags packed for the day, and we were on our adventure to patong for the day. so we got in patong around 12 and we did some walking around talkin to everyone as we passed by all the stores we even met a new friend kuma, he was super funny, and short, but he thought he was taller than me haha. So Patong is the more popular place in phuket for tourists to vacation. here u see the most western restraunts and bars and people, and everyone on the beach getting some sun. its a little annoying sometimes being in patong because everyone thinks im a tourist and 100s of people who own business make u try and buy thier crap lol. anyway after a little walking we bought our tickets for our Andanam Safari tour, the tour started at 1;30. So our tour guide picked us up, a couple from korea went too, so the first part of our tour was to see a gibbon plantation, gibbions are a sorta like a monkey, but not in the species of monkey. the plantation brings the gibbons in and quarnteins them and sets them back free on a remote island so thier is no danger in loss of thier species. after that we went to bangpae waterfall, we were actually lucky to see the waterfall, beacuse it has rained the past week, in the high season there wouldnt be a waterfall because it hardly ever rains.After the waterfall, i got to see what ive been dying to see long before i came here to thailand.... yup A elephant!!! we rode the elephant into the jungle i got to sit on its heaD!! it was so cool, and we got a cute thai guy helping us with the elephant. so a little bit of history on the asian elephant, indian elephants are the same species, but the african elephant is much bigger its 500 killos where a asian elephant is 300killos. asian elephants live till thier 60 years and carry thier babies 10months. after we rode the elephant, we saw a monky show, it was so cool he would shake our hands play basketball, understand numbers, he even went swimming, monkeys dont like water! and we even saw a baby elephant show, he stood on his two front feet and on his two back feet, and he played the harmonica!! so cool!
After that we went canoeing in a river, is was so peacefull i almost feel asleep, again we had another cute thai guy, paddling for us:P haha after that we ate dinner, and headed back to patong, we said by to our korean friends and tour guides, and stayed in patong and jus got to check out the nightlife, we were there long we came home about 11, and then i got picked up at karins, it was a awesome day i had some much fun!!!!

Sunday;
well sunday was a typical sunday, where ya jus relax, i woke up late, around 11 got showered, i was supposed to go to kathys little brothers bday party but i had no ride in, so i jus watched tv, went on the computer and jack called to chat, he was coming back to phuket, he had a good trip. then we ate supper, and i went back on the compter and im soon probly gonna go watch some tv, school tmr.. yuck!! untill tmr!
