Last couple days in Koh Tao was pretty relaxing and laid back. Noah and I rented a kayak on our last day to kayak around the island. For the most part, this island is not very developed, we often pulled up to some rocky bank and snorkelled with no one around. The trip back seemed to last forever, as we had paddled an hour and half out from where we had to return the kayak. The trip back to Bangkok was pretty straightforward, just a boat and a bus.
After settling into Bangkok, Noah and I went out last night to some local clubs. We went to a hip-hop club (tons of foreigners) at first, where we met some local Thais that were really friendly. They talked us into checking out a local club where all the Thais go after curfew (there is a curfew for most night life in Bangkok, especially those that entertain foreigners). It was a blast to hang out with the locals and see where they go for fun. This also meant that we didn't get back to our hotel until about 4am.
After sleeping about an hour and half, we woke up to see the Super Bowl at a British sports pub. The game was really exciting, the G men and Eli came through big at the end. It was really funny to see the uninterested faces of some of the British guys there when they were watching the game. I guess its like that when I watch soccer. After the game, I slept until 4 in the afternoon.
On a separate note, I'm reading 'East of Eden' by Steinback. I've really been enjoying the read, and I think Steinback has got some great observations (sometimes sinister but always striking a chord) into the human psyche in this piece.
