Staphylococcus aureus…

Of all things that can happen, I am now sitting in Koh Phangan with a somewhat bad staphylococcus infection in my left eye 🙁
The doctor was not so happy when I came in to see him yesterday, telling me that ” you have staphylococcus infection in youl eye, vely dangelous you know? Vely dangelous, not good! Doctol look in youl eye and not look good. Doctol give you a big shot antibiotica in your ass and you must eat medicine and use cleam in youl eye evly 2 houl”… so now I am all high on drugs, which makes me tired all the time, and I have to go around with some white sticky cream around my eye all day. Nice huh?
And as if that was not enough I have probally been successfull in cracking my small toe on my right foot after smashing it 3 times in a rock and in my bed while dark, it’s all blue and svollen! I don’t know if I am supposed to cry or laugh, but I think I’ll stick with laughing as I am soon at the end of my travel and I have been utterly lucky so far 🙂

Well, enough of feeling sorry for my self 😉 Me and Per have had some nice and relaxing days at the beach here in Koh Phangan, spending most days reading books. Per is all in to Sci-fi books and have plowed through quite a lot. Me on the other hand am trying to read a lot of books about Asia, but it’s not always I can find any good ones. But in average I think I am reading some 5-6 books a week, I love reading. Just fantastic how you can create your own littel world of movies when you read isnt’t it? And it is not so often I have a chance to read so much back home with school and course litterature and all. Also, reading makes time pass real fast. Though I think it has kind of been an obstacle for us concidering that we haven’t been around the island much 🙂 But now we have rented a motorbike which is great fun, and I think we’ll go out on a small expidition later this afternoon. And yes, we will be carefull while driving on these crazy roads that wouldn’t been allowed being built in Norway in the first place. But this is Thailand so what can you do?
So far I have seen alot of injured people, a crashed motorbike and the roadside covered in blood, and yesterday we witnessed a small accident on the way back home to our bungalow. And people here do drink and drive…but not us of course, Per is a real good and carefull driver so I do not worry to much when we set of on the bike 🙂

Tomorrow will most likely be our last day here on the island. I am heading to Krabi to visit a friend that I met last year when I did my volunteer work in Khao Phanom, and after that I will go up to Phuket and Thai Muang to see some other people that I also worked with last year. I am not sure yet if Per will join me as he hasn’t quite decided yet. And on the 11th I am going back up to Bangkok again to do some shopping, get a desperatly needed haircut, visit some friends and have a last good old fashion Khao San Party! And then it is time to go back home 😀
I am not so sad about leaving now as I have been away for quite some time, but I am sure it will be kind of a chock though. Quite a different life down here I would say ;)But I know that I will always come back to Asia! So once home, I am sure I will start planning my next trip 😀

That’s all for now my dear, dear friends and family. Miss you and love you all as always 🙂
