phuket, thailand

when we arrived in phuket sunday morning after a 13-hour bus ride from bangkok, we checked into our hotel, and then went to thai church. that evening we went to dinner at this beautiful island restaurant, and met the thai staff (campus crusade for christ - campus student link). all of the above pictures are from that evening. the plant life is beautiful, and the staff are alot of fun. the man in blue standing up at the end of the table is P'Ole, and he is hillarious. i love them all!

these pictures (above) are from campus - quite different from the university of nebraska-lincoln. the top two are from inside the cafeteria, which is actually outside, so...

these two pictures (above) are from Central (the american-style shopping mall). it really is quite beautfiul, and sort of a taste of america. the only downfall is that here, they have american prices too!
