Many apologies for not updating sooner. Culture adjustment here in Asia is easy one day and difficult the next. Chinese New Year as interesting in Hong Kong, but I was ready to get out of Hong Kong for a few days because of the mass influx of people in the city, and Thailand has been a welcome break so far.
I hung out in Macau teo nights ago and visited the Venetian there-- the world's largest casino. Flew from Macau to Bangkok yesterday morning, and today flew to Surat Thani to catch a ferry to Ko Samui. Macau was less than pleasant for me, maybe because I wasn't interested in gambling (you can't lose money if you don't gamble!) And because Portuguese is the back-up language there (not English).
Anyway, many of you may not know anything about Ko Samui, but you have heard of it if you have seen the Ben Stiller/Robert DeNiro movie "Meet The Parents." In the scene where the Burns family returns home from the Rehearsal Dinner, Greg calls out Jack, saying, "You want to talk about truth and honesty, Jack? Let's talk a little truth and honesty-- let's talk a little Operation Ko Samui!"
So anyway, Ko Samui is a tropical island of the southeast coast of Thailand, near Malaysia. I'll be there for a week-- hopefully tanning, laying in a hammock, and getting my back walked on. Sounds pretty good, huh?
I'll update soon with pics and stuff.
