Phi Phi Island

It's Phi Phi not pee pee OK. Emphasis on the H.
I'm sorry I haven't posted recently, but I've been having way too much fun. I barely have time to sleep. This is the most beautiful place I've been to so far. Were staying at a really nice hotel, and today we spent the entire day poolside, or at the beach. I'm constantly saying and thinking "wow this place is beautiful".

I don't know what happened to my last post, all that got published was the title. The funny part about it is how many comments just a title got. I'm really happy you all had fun at the river. Dorri actually went for the rafting trip, I think that's a first. I had a moment on Friday of last week where I really wanted to pack my bags and head back, just to go camping. I watched the slide show from 2001, and came very close to just heading to the airport. In fact I flipped a coin heads I stay in Bangkok, tails I jump on a plane. Well, it came out heads. I really would have liked to have joined you all, but there's always next year.

What you guys have not heard, cuz my last post didn't work was that we've come back down to the south. We spent a few days on Patong Beach, then took a ferry ride out to Phi Phi. Our plan is to stay here for a while, then go to Rai Lei. Like I said this place is really beautiful. Steep mountains poking out of beautiful clear water, often with jungle coming right down to the waters edge. The diving is supposed to be incredible, so I may try a dive or two.

OK, as to rumors......I haven't yet got the job, but I'm pretty sure I want it. Hong Kong is supposed to be an amazing city. This job is through Scenario. Paul (the owner) has offered me a position at a factory an hour outside Hong Kong supervising the production of parts for the new Disneyland there. At this point the job will go for two or three months, but if I like it (and if they like my work) it could go on longer. I know from the comments that some of you are shocked that I would decide to stay, but Asia is growing on me. It's all very different, but it's also beginning to feel really comfortable. Sage is right, once I'm settled in Hong Kong you guys are totally welcome to come visit me. I hadn't planned to spend much time there, because from what I've heard it's a very expensive town. So if I'm living there you guys can come and avoid a lot of the costs. Beyond that, it's not like I'm never coming back to the states. I'm sure no matter what I'll at least come back for a visit. There was a fifty fifty chance that I would have seen you all last week. It's not like I don't miss you. Last night I read on the wall of a bar where someone had written "Life is a book, and those who have not travelled only read the first page". I cannot put this book down right now, and I urge you all to turn some pages.
