New years and scooter

So since we had found a place to stay we finally got to go to one of the best New Years parties in the world. We had to travel in the back of a pickup truck for about 45 minutes to get to the other side of the island. When we got there we saw a huge beach covered with people. There where an estimated 30,000 people on this beach. It was one of the most ridiculous parties I have ever seen. There where people from all over the world there. We met people from Sweden, Britain, Germany and even some from Michigan. It was a lot of fun. There where bars that lined the beach and they where blaring loud music and people where dancing and acting crazy it was really awesome. You could buy buckets that had liquoe and pop mixed up and you just drank out of straws. Needless to say we got a little too drunk but we had an awesome time it was definately worth going too. After the excitement of the party we took the next day off I spent most of my day sitting in he hammock outside of our bungelow reading. The next day though we decided to do something. We rented these scooters they where really nice and it only cost about 300 Baht($9). So we went driving around the island all day long it was a lot of fun but it had been raining the entire time we where there and the roads of this island where mainly dirt and it had huge hills almost mountains and they went straight up. We where having an awesome time I do not know how we did not kill ourselves. We had just gone over to see the other side of the island and we where almost back to our side and I was going done this hill and my mind started wander. I was thinking about everything but riding. I sure enough fall right on my side and slid for about 5 feet. It hurt but luckily all I did was just scratch my leg and arm it was not too bad and the scooter did not look to bad. Then the next day when we went to turn it inthe lady running the scooter place saw that I scratched it. I ended up paying her 8,000 Baht($242)for th repairs. It really sucked but I had so much fun riding that thing for 2 days that I could not be too angry. It turned out alright I was just alot lighter in the wallet.
