We are alive!

It has been quiet around here for a few days now and I suppose you could blame a mix of studies, activities and plain laziness for that. We got struck by a sudden stressed feeling about our thesis, so we have been busy writing on that and finding people to interview for it. Besides this, we finally bought some snorkeling equipment and tried it out. Man, is that exhausting or what? Haha. But it was fun! We saw colourful fish and also some black spiky round things.. no idea what that was, but it was kinda scary-looking. Yesterday we decided to visit the tea plantation and factory not far from here. It was really nice to see something else (no, we haven’t been very good at exploring the island just of yet…) and the jungle-looking forest we travelled through on winding roads there was so beautiful. The bus ride was shaky and bumpy like a roller-coaster though! You are not allowed to speak loudly on the buses here, but at the same time, I can’t see how one would be able to speak in one’s normal voice at all, hah. 🙂

So, coming up, a post with pictures, yay!
