Finally my trip to Southeast Asia is start. I am completelly happy! So, I spend 5 month in Russia this year, and get some awesome results:
1. Succesfully finished the deal with my flat. Sometimes it was painfull, sometimes terrible, but my skill grows up.
2. Finished my education with Ekaterina Raush. Sometimes it was difficult, but interesting and useful mostly.
3. Worked at awesome tattoo-studio SPHINKS. Sometimes I was bored, because of not too much clients, but great collegues maked my days.
4. Got several number of tattooes - thanks to my friends.
5. Alex got his first tattoo. A bad one first, and really good one after by Pavel Vamp.
6. Also Alex got tattoing education by Pavel, so now I have my personal tattoo-artist! (dreames comes true) .
7. Got 10 psychoterapy sessions. Helped. Will continue.
7 points of happiness! There were a few great moments, but this is probably quite personal ;)
After all challenges remain extremely for rus-trip task - to leave the country. In connection with the closing of a number tour-offices, at least that says the official version, an initiative of the Ministry of Transport and Rus-tourism Russian tourists without a return ticket can't go out of the country. Every tourist need to have ticket bact to Russia or to the third country. Of course, it is not comfortable for us - we never knows when we come back or going to the next country. We succesfully overcome this new rules - book tickets, hotel, make a reservation number with the status "paid". Little nervous at the registration desk, and we goes to the gates. Our flight was cheap (350$) : Moscow-Abu Dhabi-Bangkok-Phuket. I love ETIHAD airline sooooo much - everything was cool and fast & whiskey and cola - as much as we can)))
Despite the fact that in Domodedovo flight delayed by half an hour (half the time of our transit) in Abu Dhabi in Bangkok wait us. In Thailand it was very funny - on all our way between the Gate stood Thai guys marked "Phuket". When they learned that we are exactly on this flight, asked: "please, run!" - And we were running)))
We, of course, had heard about the difficulties of getting Thai-visa to people, who lived there some time and had a lot of visas in passport like us, so we change the passports in Russia, and looked at the border like we come Thai first time. I have all passed quickly and without question (probably they was a little shocked by my sleepy and tattooed person), but Alex was asked: "The new passport?" - "Yes." And put next to the visa number 2. We still have no idea what does it mean.
So, October 4th, early morning, we walked out of the Phuket airport in the hot air of Asia! Came the rain, and with every breath we felt - we're home! The driver took us to our friend's house. How nice it was to be in a separate room with a huge bed covered with silk linen!
Alex play piano for me and we visited some friend by the car, because rain doesn't stop 3 days.
We spend 3 days in Phuket, came to our favorite pizza place ( will be at Phuket - came there! Located near Chalong Pier, called Agli Amici, two brothers cooked the best pizza ever! ).
We love Phuket. But also we diceded to not spend there a lot of time. So, by car, bus and ferry
8th of October, in the evening, we arrived (and still are) to the island of yogis and parties, vegans and organic food eaters, hippies and not - to the famous Koh Phangan - to "Thai Ibiza." About that and our activities here - next time.
