Today is Easter Sunday and I googled church in Sanur, and found the Gateway Community Church, where they celebrate Sunday Service at 10am every Sunday. I hailed a bemo and got there at 9:35, and was perplexed that there were no cars outside. When I came up to the door, it said that the congregation… Continue reading God påske, Happy Easter!

Mr. Noddeland, Divemaster
So. I have finished my Divemaster training. Paperwork is the only thing separating me from a certification, but there is still one unofficial test to come: The snorkel test… For those of you who have no clue what I’m talking about, I’ll give a brief description. There are variations over a theme, with quizzes, obstacle… Continue reading Mr. Noddeland, Divemaster
Diving with a cracked rib
Approximately a week ago I was diving the Sugar Wreck, and my hand slipped while I was pulling myself up into the boat. I put a little to much weight on my chest, and there was a popping sound accompanied by a sharp pain. When I got back in the boat I tried to lift… Continue reading Diving with a cracked rib
Go with the flow
I’m back behind the counter in Sunlight Divers. This morning I went to the divesite called the Vietnamese wreck for the first time. The Vietnamese wreck is in fact an old Japanese landing vessel used to transport Vietnamese refugees, and it sank while going in for repairs. When we got to the site, the current… Continue reading Go with the flow
Seven hours to get cash from the ATM
I am feeling more and more as a part of the staff here at Sunlight, and that feeling was especially strong yesterday. I ran out of cash a while ago, and while I can write everything on my tab at Moonlight, where I’m staying, I don’t have a tab anywhere else yet. Eventually I had… Continue reading Seven hours to get cash from the ATM
Divemaster Trainee Gone Native
On Wednesday I went for my first two dives here at the Perhentians. The first dive was a wreck dive, an old freighter they call the Sugar Wreck. It lies on it’s side at around 19 meters, so that the shallowest side of it is on about seven meters. When we arrived at the divesite,… Continue reading Divemaster Trainee Gone Native
Perhentian Islands in Malaysia
July 6 When I woke up yesterday morning, it felt as if I was in the middle of an earthquake… When the next flash and boom came a few seconds later, I realized it had been a clap of thunder, but it had been so loud it rattled the doors and windows in my room!… Continue reading Perhentian Islands in Malaysia
Boat trip to The Beach
For those who were wondering;I still don’t have a tattoo. I came to the conclusion that I want to try it in Henna or something before I do the real thing, to find out whether it looks the way I want on me. 🙂 On Sunday night we went to watch Farang kicking the shit… Continue reading Boat trip to The Beach
June 16, Snorkeling in Shark Bay on Turtle Island
Koh Tao, the Turtle Island, is not a place you spend a lot of time if you don’t dive or snorkle… 🙂 If you do, however, you can stay here forever. Helena and I have rented scooters here as well, and driven around the island. On Sunday we headed north towards Mango Bay, but turned… Continue reading June 16, Snorkeling in Shark Bay on Turtle Island
Shabbath Shalom in Koh Pha Ngan
On Tuesday Lucas left for Koh Tao, and Helena’s roommate left as well, so we’ve been sharing the room Lucas and I had in the Israeli guest house. We rented a motorbike on Tuesday afternoon, and headed out to find some waterfalls. The bike was crappy and the roads were worse, and the first gear… Continue reading Shabbath Shalom in Koh Pha Ngan
