    The bright side of the moon

    Opposite from the impressions at the dump yard this morning are the beaches on Koh Chang. The beach sites at this island are really nice.

    The dark side of the moon

    When I was strolling around this morning for different impressions apart from the regular beach days I came across a dump yard. A few boys were preparing a truck with loads of rubbish.
