No time in Europe but news from Thailand

As I just stayed less than two weeks after coming back from the Balkan there wasn't much to write about. I had a really great seminar and time in Mostar which helped me to kind of sort out what to do and how decide with my lecturership. Another thing came up that I actually will do my MA in organisational studies so I've somemore things to regulary do back in China. The topics and lecturer we had have been really skilled and enthusiastic...

Beginning of February I flew back to China, again via Beijing. I had this weired feeling I never had before while landing in China, but it somehow was like coming back home...

As I just arrived Hefei downtown by nighttime I had to deal with no electricity or water because my landlord didn't pay the bills. Good to have a 24 hrs service though!

To get used to time (just because of this reason *lol*) I spent the night out and got to meet lots of the people I knew.

Next evening I flew to Guangzhou with more than 2 hrs delay which caused me to miss my connection with airasia to Bangkok. Stucked @ 11:10 pm not a nice thing I can tell now! No matter what for I got to coose between staying in China or leaving next day by paying a huge extra money... Guess what I chose?!
One day later I finally arrived after a nice overstay in Bangkok at Olli's place close to Ao Thalen in the north of Krabi town. I got to stay in really nice bamboo bungalow and met lots of nice people beside Wolf who I went to visit there... We had really good Thai food (*yummy*), Thai Rum and any other drinks we would like to have. All Thais working there, Olli the owner all try to make you feel home, no locks, no money you need, when you go to bad late you shut down the music and lights.


The first week came out to be quiet busy as we went canoeing, on a tour to some pool, lagoon and buddah on a mountain. My so much appriated stair climbing was this time offered for free... An other tour was bringing us to some islands with nice beaches or snorkeling grounds. Some nights we went to Aonang or Krabi to have a massage or drink. I love my motorbike here!

Now we left our cozy place to go to the nearby island Koh Yao Noi. So fare as I can tell and explored the island there is not too much tourism here, the beaches are not as the beach but still beautiful AND I was able to find one for my own. Noone there!!! I loved it...
