Bangkok, Koh Tao and on....

Well my current location is Bali right now. I know I haven't written in my blog in a while because I've been on an island scuba diving and relaxing so I'll tell you a bit about it.
After Cambodia my girlfriend and I went to Bangkok (BKK) to hang out with my cousin for a few days. This is nice as it saves on a hotel. We really didn't do much there since we have already been there and seen the sites, so we went to this huge outside market (JJ) and only made it through not even a quarter of it and I was ready to go, sweating from walking around so much. You can get anything you want there from clothes, pets, household items, and so on. It's only on the weekends and it is packed with locals and tourists. We then went to this IT mall where you can get any kid of software, movies, tv series..etc. So my girlfriend and I picked up a bunch of new stuff for our Mac. We got the Adobe acrobat suite for probably about $20 (which in the US is quite a bit more,hehe), also got about 3 HBO series for really cheap as well and a bunch of other stuff.
Also while in BKK you have the guys trying to sell you suits and what not. You have to be careful because you can get ripped off but my cousin and his wife went to one specific on and got a pretty good deal. So I needed a suit and decided to get one myself tailor made. They were pretty cool. I got a suite and 3 shirts for approx $180 which is a great deal. My cousins wife who is Thai did the bargaining for me and got me a good price. After a few days there it was time to go to Koh Tao which is one of the many islands of Thailand known for it's scuba diving. I got my Advanced certification there and did some fun dives. It was a very chill island. The diving was pretty good, didn't see anything too cool - lots of fish, sting ray, crabs...etc. My girlfriend was a little board because it was mainly a diving place and the beaches there weren't all that great. So we had to figure out what we were going to do next. We played around with Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur) but that seemed to be too expensive. We ended up deciding on Indonesia specifically Bali. So we had to go back to BKK and then the next morning we took 3 flights to get there around 11:30. I don't recommend that...I was way too tired. We stayed there for a few days just lounging on the beach. The waves were great and big. Did some boogie and body boarding. Couldn't have asked for more....the people are nice and it's a beautiful place. You do get some people walking along the beaches trying to sell you stuff, sarongs, food, newspapers, knives...etc.
We are now making our way to the Gili Islands which is supposed to have great diving and snorkelling. Just something else to travel and see. We really just want to relax a bit more before going back to the real world.
Well that's it for now. I know I don't have any pics because I didn't bring the connection with me and plus it take a bit with the computers here.
Till next time....
