Koh Samui, The Return

Last night I talked with the Starbuks barista who recognized me from the last time I was here. I asked him out for drinks after his shift: I met him at this bar where we had quite a bit of whiskey and coke with his friends. We then took that unfinished bottle with us to a local restaurant, where the staff proceeded to make us more whiskey coke using the booze we brought it. How economical. It was a little less date-like than I would have hoped - I didn't ask him out for drinks because I didn't know where to go per se - but I have no complaints: it did turn out to be an interesting night on the town.

The next day, Eri and I lied on the beach and tanned. Finally. I started the afternoon with a beer. I am now just as tanned as when we left Vung Tau, but as you know, I am greedy and want more of a tan. Hopefully we'll be able to have one more go before we head for Bangkok tomorrow night.
