After 7 months of life in bustling Taipei, we decided it was time for a break from city life so we headed off to Phuket, Thailand for 9 days of fresh air and salt water. It was a fantastic holiday! Great food, interesting activities and a bit of rest... yep, we finally got rid of those bags under our eyes...
We stayed at the Club Andaman Beach Resort in Patong Beach. It was a nice place with great gardens. These gardens created an atmosphere of seclusion even though we were only about 250m (or less) from the busiest beach on the island.

We spent an evening at the Phuket FantaSea show. Had a tasty buffet dinner at the largest restuarant we'd ever been too (behind us) and then saw the cultural performance. Now this wasn't just any "cultural performance" it was actually very well done and large scale! The theatre seats 3,000 people... the show included acrobats, animals, traditional dance and special effects... we both left feeling duly impressed.
During our stay there was a "Street Vendor Food Festival" on in Phuket Town. We took our only public bus ride into the "city" and enjoyed some of the best street food around.
One last sip of beach life before heading back to school! We arrived back at home 1.30 am only to wake up a few hours later for a new semester with 8am classes!
