Koh Phangan part 2

Unlike the other places I've been to in Thailand, Phangan is filled with tourists and seems very westernized. It's hard to find street food here which is a shame cause it's amazing. I tried my first fruit shake here just fruit no mushrooms, still amazing.  Most of the restaurants show movies at night, obviously the Hangover 2 is a huge hit.  We have run into people that we have met along the way, 'tis a small world. 
We gear up for the best party in the world (according to CNN) by taking it easy. We then begin the pre full moon party ritual of painting, a little pre drinking, and putting together our outfits.  Some where a little more out there than others (I'm talking about you, Andy). Off to sunrise beach we go, literally hundreds of people walk with us, a road is even shut down to scooters, which in my opinion should always be the case.   Once at the beach we are greeted by thousands of party goers. Drink some buckets, mingle with the  crowd, and watch the fire shows.  We meet other Canadians on the beach and feel instantly connected, if only by the country we are from. It's a great night, nothing beats a party on the beach in my opinion. One side of the beach is playing house music, and the other hip hop, I am in music heaven. I last till 6:30am after drinking 2.5 buckets I think that's impressive. A bucket is a sand pail filled with a mickey of your choice of alcohol, can of pop, and a bottle of red bull.
The next day the town is dead, we see a few people still staggering about.  The following day we check out some waterfalls, which I assume are much more impressive during the wet season, but still amazing.  Also see an elephant and a monkey, but there chained up so it's reminiscent of a zoo. We decide to check out the aftermath of the beach the full moon party is held on...  2 days later there still cleaning it up, makes you feel a bit like an ass.  If your reading this, take note don't litter.  The world is a beautiful place.
Next stop Koh Tao...
