Thurday, July 26: Bangkok - Koh Phangan

I finally managed to finalize my ticket to Romania (not without the usual difficulty). I also got a sim card finally (just gave up about finding out what the calling rates are). Got in touch with Nir, who apparently met Nadav down in the islands. I'll be joining them tomorrow. Speciofically, there's a bus that leaves Bangkok at 21:00 arrives somewhere at 5:00 from where there's a ferry that leaves at 7:00 and get to the island at 11:00 or so. It's a pretty long journey, but not too bad relative to Australia.

Anyway, I spent most of the day hanging out in the Kaho San area. As I mentioned the food is very cheap and in particular so is freshly squeezed orange juice! (80 cents for about 500cc!!). So of course I got many of those. It seemed to me however, that the OJ wasn't really OJ. As I suspected it was actually mandarine juice, which is a close relative and therefore completely fine and quite tasty indeed. Also, I got a new book finally, called Angels and Deamons by Dan Brown. It came wrapped and seemed to be new. Well, techincally it was new, however, it was not original. It was a good copy but I could easily tell it was a fake (but who cares, the information is there).
