One cultural difference that stood out to Mike and I are that small children ride on mopeds (see picture from Puket). Something I would have a hard time getting use to.
I included a picture of a cat because they are EVERYWHERE in Ko Phi Phi and it didn't seem right to leave that out. If you don't know, Mike and I are actually a bit afraid of felines and got the creeps often while walking down the street. We would have been more comfortable with dogs.
I have included some pictures of our snorkeling trip in Ko Phi Phi. We rode in one of those crazy wooden boats and visited the site where Beach was filmed (see picture of us at the beach in our wetsuits). Our guide didn't really speak English (he's pictured leading the way on our boat), so it was quite the interesting trip. I got stung by a baby jellyfish on the elbow, but survived by shaving my elbow (I know... so weird... but it worked).
More to come once we get to India! Taj Mahal tomorow.
Wow, looks beautiful. I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only only who is totally creeped out by cats. Let's hope there aren't too many of them in India...somehow I doubt that, though! Have fun and stay safe!
