"The more time I spend on this island,
the more I think that I could just stay here forever.If I had the
right group of people I definitely could. Just hike over to a random
beach every day, swim, snorkel, read. It's the life, man. But
we're moving on, they gotta extend their thai visas by running over to
burma for a day, then we'll probably go to the west coast. They're
flying to china on 11 march, and after that I can't decide what I want
to do. It's either extend my visa for another couple of weeks and go
up northern thailand and do some trekking while the weather's still
good, go over to cambodia and wander around there for a while, or head
down south to malaysia (and if I do that, I'm figuring I'll just keep
going south forever, until I hit bali a couple months from now.) I
need to research the weather some.

Oh, and we finally jumped off that rock into the ocean. nearly died
trying too. we couldn't figure out how to climb it and the first time
I went the hard way, and almost fell off climbing, which would have
sent me onto a rock 10 feet below, but then adrenaline kicked in and I
stopped worrying about cutting my hands and feet and I shot up the
thing. cut up my hands pretty good too, but ended up going off 3
times, once we discovered the easy way up."
