First night in Patong beach PHUKET

Hey,
Just wanted to say hi after our first night in PHUKET. Things here are a little crazier than KO SAMUI but none the less some of the best people watching i think you can get. The night life here is alot crazier than where we have been. There is probably atleast 3 hookers per corner and they close down some of the streets from traffic so people just wander down the middle of the streets. The best way to describe it is a cheap trashy VEGAS! The beaches here are quite busy and have way bigger waves then KO SAMUI. When we were in Chewang, our hotel was right on the beach so you had a little section for each hotel but here we have to go to the public beach. We spent time at our pool yesterday and that was good. Glenn liked it especially since i was the only girl there with a top on! Glenns oakley sunglasses broke so we bargained him some new ones with a case last night, the starting asking price was 650baht for the sunglasses. After 10 min we got him down to 200baht and glenn then got cheeky and asked for a free case. We met half way at 250baht with a case, which is about 7 dollars canadian. What a deal!!! I think the bargaining is Glenns favorite part, he will buy something he doesn't even want just so he can bargain. But things are good and we will keep you updated. Love you all and miss you tons.
Love Jen and Glenn

We just watched the movie The Beach a few weeks ago - pretty cool that you 2 were there! Joc has been off in Ottawa for the weekend - her only 'vacation' for the summer! Jeremy is here whipping Geoff in an xbox game, as usual. Nanny and Jimbob are supposed to arrive on Wed. Bet the time in Thailand has flown by - I don't think I would have any problem spending a month at the beach! We just booked a cottage down in N. Carolina in the Outer Banks to do the beach thing for a week in August. Think Nanny was pretty surprised with your call!
Take care. J
