Full Moon Party

Hey kids,
let me tell you a story about a party. Now this was no ordinary party. it was a Full Moon Party where people are just a little bit crazy because the moon does something to them. They party till they fall down and drink out of beach buckets. Guys it was the best party that I have ever been to. I arrived last Thurs and that night we headed down to the beach with a few Germans. It was my first experience of drinking buckets (whiskey, red bull and coke). They are unreal. Mam, if you want to turn away now I'll understand. After a few of them you are totally buzzing. We didn't get back to the guesthouse until it was bright the next morning. That's the craziness i am talking about. So I slept most of Friday. The next evening i took it easy. I was in bed by 3 or 4 in the morning. Believe me, that is taking it easy. The few days before the actual Full Moon Party (FMP)are nearly as crazy as the party itself. I met an Irish guy whom I had met in Laos and so I was with his posse for the FMP. We started at 10. By this time the beach was nearly full. We simply drank buckets and danced to House music until the sun came up. It was really cool watching the sun come up while giving it socks to really cool music. I don't know how I lasted the night but I did. At 9 the next morning i was spent and couldn't go on any more. I needed sleep. On Sat we took it easy. Everyone was still tired so we headed down to the beach and just had a couple of drinks and watched the fire show. Oh ya, there were these Thai guys performing a fire show with those balls on chains and a big stick. It was amazing. They were so good and made it look really easy. There was a Welsh guy walking the beach in the Borat lime green beach costume. it was a very disturbing sight. But you couldn't help but look. There were a lot of strange people there. But thats the cool thing about the party. Anything goes. Nobody cares what everyone else is doing. Seriously guys, get your asses over here and come to a FMP. You will not be disappointed. Chat later

Hey Derek,

I find your blog, and thats per accident... I see you are alive, and have great time... I miss the time in Thailand so much... At this time I have to learn and learn and learn... these shitty microbes, bacteria, funghi's an parasites. I still ask me every day, what I do in Germany...

Greetings from Hannover
