BANGKOK!!!!

Finally Bangkok!!!!After 4 weeks in Pattaya we where going crazy there sooooo...lets catch the mini bus and 8 of us there we go to Bangkok!!! We get to KhoSan road and went fiding a place to stay!!! They all stayed in a hotel but am not in to that so i found myself a nice and very clean guesthouse for 5 euros a night!!Nice haaammmm It was like going back to Europe again.... if u say that bangkok is in Asia nobody will believe because its full of western people!!What for us was great!!! We where tired to see only thai people in Pattaya...... Well we got there in chinese new year so the city was in party!!!I got to see temples that are open only once a year..yeaaahh so watch out for the buda fotos since they are very very rare!!!On this trip to bangkok i didnt go to see the real tourisctic thing since i took the oportunity to visit this rare temples. Next time ill go for the touristic temples hehehehe.......... But lets talk about KhoSan road!!! Yes this one mystic street!!! I really dont know hot to described you just have to be there!!! But i will try.....During the day is full of small shops with that sell everything...here i found the most crazy tshirts!!!(You will see them........) Everybody is just walking around seeing the shops or chiling and the cool bars!!!At the night this walking traillers show up!!!Its the cocktail trailler!!!They stop, bring plastic seats for everybody and give buckets (yes beach buckets) full of strong cocktails for 4 euros!!!So after 1 hour theres is no more groups...everybody is talking to everybody, people running on the street complete madness...I meat people from all over the world........Brasil, etiopia, sweden, england, holand, palestina, australia, panama...........u named!!!!The thing is that everybody just arrived to asia and are going somewhere like cambdoja, vietname, laos, malasya, india..........or just been in this places and are going back home...I know understand the true meaning of bangkok being the entry point in SE Asia!!! The bars close at 1h but everybody just hangs in the street till the morning!!!! We stayed there for 3 days but sure will be back soon.............. Once again nothing better than fotos....but most os them are in other cameras, since i didnt wanna lose mine.....

The world is safer place!!Am a rescue diver!!!!!

Diver, Diver am a rescue diver!!!May I help you??? heheheh Last week i took one more step on my diving career. I finished the course of rescue!! This means i actually know what to do when somebody panics or has a problem in the water...... I now have to watch for my safety and as well has the others. The course went ok but the last 2 days were a living hell. Our instructor puts has in different panic scenarios and tells that this and that is going to happen but when we are there, beside what he told, theres always surprise things that we have to deal in the moment.......aaaaaaahhhh!!! But the worst was the stress test....Basicly on the last day during lunch time everybody that is on the boat can jump in the other and ask for help. Ofcourse popular Ricky (My name for the english guys) had a lot of people on the boat just to give me a hard time. So what happened is that everybody jumps on the water, screaming for help, and when you get to them they are really panicked dont do nothing as you say, and basicly jump on top of you trying to put you underwater!!!This lasted for one hour, i feared for my life 2 or 3 times because they really push you down. Was the meaning of this???Is that on a stress situation you forget everything you learn and the number one rule of rescueing somebody...Your safety is always first or else instead of one victim you will have 2!!! The reason that they do this is to show how dangerous can it be to help someone if u dont protect yourself and follow the safety procedures. It was hard but we maid it............Yeeeaaahhhh!!! I can now give CPR to people!!!! One that night i got so drunk on the beach that i forget my shoes and went to disco on my foot!!!No comments....I need new snickers heeeeeeellllppp!!!! Dont really have the fotos of the rescue course but here it comes some!!!

On the boat to get to the dive place

Here i go!!!

Dont worry my friend!!! I will save you............

Splashhh!! Thas not my ass.....

Nicki Garret (Our instructor) and Me ofcourse. WE PASSED!!!

One day in diving!!!

Well after many requests the blog is going to be done in english now on...so listen what i have to say.... A tipical day in of diving starts at 7.30 in the morning....getting up, grabing ur sun classes, bag and some pocket money and of u go.....catch the thai bus and arrive to the divecenter!!!Bla bla, hi there!! Hows your hangover??...Thats the typical talk!!! Put everything on the bus and off we go to one of the boats!!! The boat travels normally 1h 1.30h in to the open sea and finally we arrive to any of our many paradise islands....And finally our DiveMaster screams: OK, EVERYBODY DOWN AND GET RIDE WE ARRIVE IN 10 MIN. So everybody jumps and makes the scuba kits ready and as soon the boat stops we start to jump on the water!!!Thats our first dive!!! After its lunch time..........YEAAAAAAAAHHHH the food is great!!! After lunch we rest like an 1h or something (depends on how deep was the first dive...cant go right in the water, it takes time clear the nitrogen from your blood). And of we go for the second dive of the day.....As soon as the last dives is on the boat we start our trip back to pattaya!!! The diving day always, always ends with everybody on the bar doing Beer!!! SINGAAAA PLIIISSS............
