Party time!

It’s been a while since my last blog entry, the reason for this is I’m just too damn busy! Koh Phangan is world famous for it’s organised parties and this time of year there are a lot!

Just this week there has been the half moon, Shiva moon and moon set parties, tomorrow will be new years eve and then I think two days after that is the full moon party. So you can see, I have a pretty busy social schedule at the moment! And to be honest, if I have been out until sunrise I don’t get much done the next day, so my blog has suffered.

Here is a picture from the moon set party last night, it didn’t come out too well though, the flames actually say moon set party but not so clear in the picture I’m afraid.

Christmas here was very strange, in all the places I have been at Christmas time this place had the least festive feel of anywhere. Indeed, Christmas was just another day really, although I did make one slight concession and had a turkey dinner.

Tomorrow night I’m going to a private new years eve bash being put on by some of the long term residents of the island, rumour has it they are roasting a whole pig, this should be interesting to see!

So merry Christmas and a happy new year to you all!
