Random notes on Ko Tao

1. After the first day of diving, I'm still alive and well.
2. There's coral everywhere. As in within 15 meters from the beach. I killed ecosystems today when I accidentally stepped on coral a few times.
3. My instructor put too much weight on my weight belt. Will they never listen? I sink like a rock.
4. And for those of you who remember my back of thigh tan line from diving in Zanzibar, I'm well on my way towards creating a new one. Perhaps I will attempt a different, and hopefully more successful, technique of getting rid of this developing tan line.
5. I miss the cheap, good food in Nong Khai. I had a crap pad thai today. Street food is so much better than restaurant food.
6. I have a flushing toilet in my room! (oh wait, I never told any of you about the bathroom situation in Nong Khai. I will have to do that and take pictures when I go back.
7. I have a real mattress!! (oh yeah, I never told you about the bed situation in Nong Khai either.)
8. I have another 2 hours worth of homework and reading to do. Yipee.
