During the 1990s and early 2000s the party grew and grew and nowadays it attracts over 20,000 likeminded party souls to the beaches of Haad Rin to large it through the night and well into the next day. In Thailand success is emulated. This is true in Koh Phangan where the Full Moon Party is now complimented by the Half Moon Party, the Black Moon Party, the Jungle Experience and the Shiva Moon Party. I hasten to add that this is far from an exhaustive list of the parties in Koh Phangan.

From my point of view, all these parties are great because they are all held outdoors – some on the beach and some in the jungle.

When I went I didn’t manage to time my visit with the Full Moon (I just missed it) but I did catch the Jungle Experience Party. This party is held 1 day before the Full Moon and 5 days after the Full Moon prty. It is held in a jungle clearing not far from the small village of Bantai. This is where I got a cheap bungalow.

The Jungle Experience was 300 Thai Baht to get in ($10) with a free drink because I went after 11pm. If you go before it is free entry. The area had plenty of drinks and food stalls. Around the party area were fluorescent decorations and there was a small river. It was a picturesque and weird setting.

The music was very loud. There was 1 DJ booth with a VDJ doing the visuals on a screen nearby. The music was mostly psy-trance and progressive house. It didn’t change much but by 2am the crowd got really into the music and that lifted the event despite the lack of variety in the tunes. I loved it. I got drunk on 2 buckets of Thai whiskey and coke and danced around like a mad man. I made several new friends.

We ended up leaving the party at 9am and walking to Bantai where the Ban Sabai free party was just starting. We had some beers and danced some more before I wandered off to find my bungalow. What a night outside in the jungle!

However, I decided when I finished my school studies that if I wanted to go to university I should study something that was getting to get me a job after graduating. It is very hard to become a successful novelist or critic. Even writing articles for a magazine is a cut throat business with few openings. Getting a degree is a huge expense nowadays. That huge expense means a huge debt. I always thought of debt as the sword of Damocles that hangs over one’s head threatening to kill or at least maim.

So it is that I’m stuck studying purified graphites, moments, wire erosion, tension, materials, dying, design, aerospace and so on. The only really interesting thing about engineering from my point of view is the biographies of the famous engineers of the past. The stories of people like Thomas Edison and Isambard Kingdom Brunel are inspirational. Despite criticism and personal danger they triumphed and radically changed the world with their engineering feats, maybe more so than Dickens, Keats and Sophocles. The world needs writers, but perhaps the world needs engineers even more.

It is this that I try to keep in mind when I am faced with another long day in the labs or writing up yet another report.

To use the GPA calculator, enter the classes and the credit hours taking each class earns.  GPA calculators can be used to calculate grade point averages for college courses and high school courses.  As long as the grading system is point-based or letter-based with references to a numerical system, like the following indicates:
A = 4.0                        C+ = 2.3
A-=3.7                        C = 2.0
B+ = 3.33                    C- = 1.7
B = 3.0                        D+ = 1.3
B- = 2.7                        D = 1.0
D- = 0.70

Based on the grades received, the equivalent numerical figure is included in the calculations.  It is as important to know the credit hours received for a course as it is to know what grades were received for the course.  Credit hours are listed on the official course schedule and are normally listed next to the course on any curriculum list.  If for some reason the student doesn’t have this information, it can be obtained from the Dean’s office of the school.  This total number of credit hours for all classes is combined for a particular school period, a semester or quarter and then used as the number in which to divide the grades.

The GPA calculator takes this information and then makes the necessary calculations.  An example would be a student attempting to obtain a Bachelors degree in Science in the field of Graphic Design.  In order to keep his scholarship he is required to maintain a 3.0 GPA.  If his school divides education periods into quarters, he attends school in 4 month periods.  So every 4 months or every quarter his GPA must equal 3.0.  If he takes 5 courses:  Photoshop II for 3 credits; Typography I for 2 credits; Illustrator IV for 3 credits; AutoCAD for 4 credits and Advertising 203 for 3 credits.  If the grades earned are one A, two A-‘s, one B- and one C+, the grade point average is 3.35.  This student will continue to receive his scholarship for school.

The GPA calculator is an important tool for students hoping to continue in receiving assistance for tuition and other expenses, when their GPA is directly associated with their qualifications for that assistance.  The GPA calculator also helps students properly inform others of their scholastic performance, such as employers and other schools they may wish to attend.  Many schools determine their admittance based on a student’s academic performance.  Knowing your GPA could mean the difference between getting in the school of your choice and not being considered or being rejected.  The GPA Calculator keeps students in a position to always know their status in school so that they can share this information with the other parties like employers or other learning institutions.

Buy some baskets (easy, really easy).

Add some wine (more difficult, but foreigners and foreign embassies have great selections)

Add some other food products (a local market is basically outside my home).

Put them together and give away your new gift basket.  Honestly, it seems pretty easy doesn’t it?

I looked into a bank overdraft but the interest and late payment fees for every transaction would cost me and arm and a leg. So I searched the internet and found the perfect solution for me. I found a site offering a cash loan of anything up to £1000. I only needed £600 as after all it was a cracking deal. But I borrowed the full amount to give me some spending money too. I applied online and got my money in my account within an hour of applying and just in time to get this last minute deal.

My wife and I are happy now knowing that we can go on holiday and chill out and I can pay this back when I get paid, which is whilst I’ll be away.

While I was there they cooked me some delicious Turkish meals.  I found it fascinating how they incorporated a lot of middle eastern cooking techniques into their food preparation.  Clearly mealtime anywhere is something that is shaped more by cultural norms than religious norms.  They even used Halal meat prepared according to Islamic norms, they didn’t think there was anything unusual about this, so it was certainly not my place to comment on it.

I wanted to prepare them some good American food while I was there, but unfortunately my cooking skills are not the greatest! I did my best to make a couple of American style steaks, along with some baked potatoes and candied carrots.  While everyone was very polite, I don’t think my meal was a huge success – though the kids did devour my candied carrots!

Their son is planning to study in America one day, so I’m hoping some of the family may end up coming to visit me in the future.  If so, I’ll be sure to feed them something better next time.

Making appointments was much easier now that I had e-mail addresses to correspond with rather than waiting for return phone call. People are much more willing to give a quick response over an e-mail then over the phone. People like to be in a quiet place when they call, and have had a few moments to think out what they are going to say and think about how the conversation will go. Sending out e-mails is always going to be easier. Eventually text messaging or Facebook messaging will  surplant even e-mail. Most young people today don’t have e-mail addresses, they don’t think they are necessary. Most teens have Facebook accounts only. And most of those accounts show awful lot more than just contact details.

There’s never been a better time finds your dream apartments here in Istanbul, Turkey. And if you aren’t searching with the web, you’re doing yourself a disservice, get online and get searching.

Lavender bushes are really easy to grow.  You can buy a small lavender bush from a garden centre.  Then you can either plant directly into the garden or into large containers.  They look very good planted in purple pots next to lean to greenhouses.  The bush will stay green all year and will flower in the summer.

The flowers grow very tall and are very fragrant.  They attract lots of bees to the garden.  The lavender bush will flower for approximately two months and it helps to feed it once a week.  The flowers can also be picked and put in a vase in the house.
