Aloha from Andaman Coffee Co.

It's Liz here, am sitting in Andaman Coffee Co. at Karon Beach and it's the end of our third day here. Val's bought 2 drinks for us - Andaman Freeze and an Ice Latte, so I get to use the Net for a bit. But for like 15 mins, and this (Phuket) still being a pretty developing place, the ADSL is a tad slow.

But no matter, this isn't a serious post. It's quite unreal to actually be sitting here and typing a blog post. :) We had a great dinner too. At Vittaporn "Authentic" Thai Restaurant along Karon Beach. I quite like Karon beach, the crowd's a lot more tame and decent as compared to the rowdy scene in Patong. Of cos heavy party animals may not like the breathe-easy laidback feel over here, but hey, I needed to get away from bloody Singapore so badly cos of it's fussy crowds, so I'm definitely not one to complain.

Anyway, I think the drinks are done, and someone's sitting idly behind me browsing some Phuket Exclusive life magazine. Hah! Like WE"VE got the moolah to do a bit of spending here. Although I have to say I am a beach girl, and I mean, somehow, I'd choose a resort over a skyscraper city anyhow! Give me pina colada's and a bottle of carrot infused tanning oil that reeks of coconut. Give me tanned bodies on a beach of soft white sand. Give me BBQ seafood and freshly sliced sashimi with an ice cold beer. I'm a beach girl, though my recent pale skinned has made me seem otherwise.

I'm absolutely loving Phuket despite multiple criticisms saying that it's become commercialized. Perhaps Patong is, what with Singapore owned Jungceylon and Mac's, Burger King, Starbucks (Ok, fine, so Karon also has like one Starbucks, except we chose Andaman Coffee Co instead!) but I love the beach we've chosen. Also, being the only Asians in our resort kind of makes us feel really special.

Signing off for now. Perhaps I'll convince Miss Grumpy to come here for coffee in the morning and I get to post another entry. :) I love this place. :) Ciaos!
