I'm still not sure how to pronounce Phuket, but I am sure that trying to pronounce it is fraught with peril. As best as I can tell it's "poo-get", but that makes me almost as uncomfortable as the "hukt on foniks" pronunciation.
No interesting pictures, just a couple of amusing anecdotes:
I decided to go for a run on the treadmill at the gym and see if all the weight loss made me faster in spite of the lack of training. The signs on the treadmill said the distance was in miles, but I'm either ready for Boston or it was kilometers. I'll never get the hang of the metric system, but I do like its effect on my times :)
We decided to go diving for a couple of days. On the second day the captain for the boat didn't show up, so we spent 3 hours waiting for a replacement. Then, after the dives, the new captain managed to run aground because of the low tide. We eventually broke free, but it was touch and go there for a little while.

Hey, with all the time you've spent at high altitude, maybe you are ready for Boston!
Moving _very_ slowly at altitude. I think I'm just going to hope I live to be 150 when they'll let me *run* it as a gimmick.
