You never know what happens, Pam. But, if you're meant for each other, then it'll all work out.

Well, if they really are good friends then you'll see them again. There's only a few people I still stay in contact with. The rest were just passing acquaintances.

Where you off to next then, Jo? Frank might be stopping by here in Munich on the way back to Syria (I think he said) after his holiday back home!

Thanks Bowe! I\'ve watched Into The Wild just a couple months back and was quite impressed with it. I\'ve come to realize that some roots are important. Especially the older I get :)

Hey Claire,

glad you like my little stories.

"It's interesting the way you managed this tricky situation". Sounds a bit like you dissaprove of my methods :) It was the only time I punched a student, though.

During my IDC I was told that the only acceptable time to hit a student was when they stopped breathing underwater and it worked really well on Frank, so I decided to try it on Richard as well even though he was breathing. None of the punches were particularly hard, but they seemed to take all the energy out of the two lads. The rest was easy compared to the first few minutes.

It only looks like this on the picture. In reality the shark was probably smaller than you. Sharks that are only 1,5 m long hunt for prey that is much much smaller than that.

Hey Dave,

yep, Jan took it. Underwater images are always a bit tricky cause of particles in the water and the way light gets filtered out the deeper you go. This one was taken really shallow. Blacktips only look like bullies. Try getting really close to one and you'll see what I mean :)

I snorkeled with a juvenile blacktip on Lembata, Indonesia, and it was really shallow and the tide was coming in strong. A couple of times the current almost pushed us into each other, which was great for me, but I'm pretty sure he'd have wet his pants if he had some.

Hey Gary,

cheers for your comment. It seems that most people tend to agree with my thinking, but I then I ask myself where this discussion actually comes from...

Where're you at these days? Still bumming around Koh Tao?
