Koh Rong, Halloween

I am starting to see how people can get stuck on this island for some extended stays. Everything is slower here.  Without things like internet and electricity it really slows down the pace of things.  There is no rush because you cant respond to that email.  Now, they do have power, but its limited.  I have been having trouble keeping my devices powered, which makes the kindle reader not so great.  2 places seem to have wifi.  and that is limited to when they are running their generators,  the rest are early evening to 10:30 or so, just when you want to be using things. So you can charge or use, tonight ill be charging , since they are all going to be dead.
Tonight, on all hallows eve, I think I will be joining Pablo for his first and my 3rd night dive.  I am really looking forward to it, here they have the phoseflurecent, spelled?, plankton.  When swimming at night you can see it a little, if you swim out, but on the night dive it should be pretty cool.  especially with all the other divers stirring up the water.
Last night was really cool as well.  While sitting on the beach, there was a full moon, patchy clouds showing some of the brighter stars and lots of cloud to cloud lightening flasshing in the sky.  It was a pretty cool sight, and a great thing to watch while eating my whole bbq'd fish.
Between the diving, white sand beaches, warm clean water, and comfortably slow pace to life here, it is going to be hard to leave tomorrow.  Or maybe the day after.
