Continued... I will cut a long story short. Dahab is amazing. It's a small town located on the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. A few years ago, it was just desert camps run by the Beduoins (local traditionally nomadic tribe). It has grown a bit, but still ... Read more >

Yesterday, I passed my first 3 exams. They were fairly easy, but it's still a good feeling. The next two exams, physics and physiology, should be a bit more difficult. But it can't all be fun I suppose. But i have to be honest. It hasn't been all work ... Read more >

I can't remember who said it, but it sums up the divers life on Phi Phi pretty acurately, "Every day is a Monday, every night is a friday." My average day starts when my alarm clock goes off at 6:30am. I usually snooze at least once, but ... Read more >

I realized tonight that I hate the world. That may seem dramatic, but it's true. Okay,I don't so much hate the world as the people in it. Especially those in Ao Ton Sai in Koh Phi Phi(not to be confused with Krabi's Ton Sai in which i adore not only ... Read more >
