Winter break in Australia and Thailand

Finally a new blog! Sorry it took so long but i've been away for the last little while enjoying my winter break in the summer weather! I spent most of my holiday in Australia but also spent a couple days in Thailand on my way back to Korea. Australia was amazing, I loved it. It reminded me a lot of home which was nice because I needed to get back to the western world. I stayed in Perth which is on the west coast of Australia. It was very laid back and the people were really nice. Unfortunately everything closed pretty early around 6 or 7, but i guess that was also good since it's so expensive there! But it was a nice break from the busy lifestyle I have in korea. The beach was one of the best I've ever been to. I spent most time relaxing by the beach, shopping and some day trips. One of which included going to the petting zoo and seeing kangaroos and kowalas. The best part was getting to hold a kowala. I also went to an aquarium where I got the see the diversity of the ocean creatures found in the west part of australia. I definately wanna go back and see the eastern side of australia. I've included some pics for you to see. The first is of me and my new friend. The second is of the beach where I was, the 3rd is when we went fishing except i didn't do much of that i just enjoyed the view, we were lucky because a couple dolphins were in the area. The 4th is of my cousin Danielle, her boyfriend Mike and I at new years enjoying some very good and expensive wine. The last is of me and a kangaroo i saw at the petting zoo. Hope you enjoy, and I also added a blurb on Thailand if you scroll down.

THAILAND

The second stop of my vacation was Thailand. Thailand was amazing and I definately recommend it. I heard nothing but good things about Thailand before I went and they all held true. It is very tropical and the weather was great. I was only there for 3 days so I didn't get to see everything I wanted to see. I spent most of my time on the beach and eating really good food. Thailand has a great variety of food from all over the world not to mension all the yummy fruit. I did manage to sneak in a day trip where I got to go on a boat and see a couple of the islands. I also had the chance to snorkel. Unfortunately 20 minutes into the first spot i got stung by a jellyfish. After that I wasn't able to explore the other sites. But what i did get to see was beautiful. Lots of reefs and colourful fish...I saw the Nemo fish...lol. I posted a couple pictures. The first one is a traditional building, u'll see these everywhere. The next one was the view I had at my hotel while I ate breakfast. The next three are of when I went on the day tour on the boat and the last is a pic of the beach across the street from my hotel. I hope you enjoy!
