\f0\fs24 \cf0 Good evening everyone\ \
from beautiful Patong Beach\ \
here in Phuket Thailand \ \
I'm Sunny Bee\ \
Thanks for joining me\ \
for Part 8 of My Sisters in Phuket 2012\ \
Here's a look at\ \
what's ahead in this episode\ \
Swoosh sound\ \
In Part 7\ \
Overcoming my fear of motorbikes\ \
Tonight you'll meet my friends John and Colleen\ \
who put my newfound courage\ \
to the test\ \
and wait until you hear their very special connection\
\ to the beautiful \
\ brilliant women\
\ who are my sisters in Phuket\
\ music\
\ coming soon!\
\ applause\
\ swoosh sounds\
\ Part 7 ended with my sister Sarah\
\ dropping me home at\
\ Cluboneseven Phuket\
\ Thank you Sarah! You're such a great sport\
\ You're welcome\
\ Thank you!\
\ I made it!\
\ See you later!\
\ Little did I know that I would have to jump\
\ on a bike again the very next day\
\ music\
\ That's my friend John\
\ who invited me to spend the afternoon\
\ with him and his wife Colleen\
\ This is what they call Na Nai Road\
\ John and Colleen are both Americans\
\ who retired to Thailand a few years ago\
\ John startled me when he really gave it the
gas\ \
as we headed up the mountain\ \
to his home\ \
oh my goodness, it's so steep\ \
engine sounds\ \
Thailand's low cost of living is \ \
one of the many things John and Colleen found attractive\
\ about retiring here\
\ when you see their beautiful hilltop home\
\ this will become even more clear\
\ And up, up, up we go!\
\ Finally at John and Colleen's\
\ a beautiful, modern structure\
\ integrated into the mountain rainforest\
\ Hi there Colleen\
\ And here's the money shot\
\ A mountaintop patio\
\ with breathtaking views \
\ of all of Patong City\
\ John and Colleen are middle class retirees\
\ but a home with a view like this\
\ would cost them millions of dollars\
\ in their native California \

\cf0 Aren't John and Colleen just wonderful?\ \
Here's a cool factoid: \ \
I met them both back in 2009,\ \
and they are the ones who urged me to\ \
visit a place on bangla road\ \
called the moulin rose cabaret\ \
So without John and Colleen\ \
I may have never found my sisters in Phuket\ \
And because I love my sisters dearly\ \
I will be forever grateful to \ \
John and Colleen\ \
At John and Colleen's \ \
it's easy to see how Phuket got its name\ \
It's derived from the word for "hill"\ \
in Malay\ \
John and Colleen have begun a fascinating hobby \
\ of making stained glass windows\
\ Let's watch\
\ Afterwards, John gave me a lift \
\ back to Cluboneseven\
\ This time racing downhill\
\ which is even more exciting\
And from history now, to the future.\ \
A programming note.\ \
I've known for some time that I wouldn't be able\
\ to squeeze my entire 2012 travelogue into
the year of 2012\ \
meaning that many of the 2012 episodes will be uploaded in 2013\
\ I do hope everyone is okay with that.\
\ Either way, feel free to post your comments!\
\ since I read each and every one of them\
\ And my sisters do as well\
\ And here's what's ahead in our very next episode:\
\ swoosh sound\
\ bell sound\
\ Remembering Phil Campbell\
\ One year after his tragic accident\
\ bell sound\
\ And another stunning loss\
\ that could darken the cabaret forever\
\ And that heartfelt tribute goes live December
22nd in the West\ \
and We hope you'll watch.\ \
Thank you for watching everyone\ \
and please consider subscribing\ \
subscribing is the best way I know\ \
and the beautiful women who are my sisters in Phuket\
\ so thanks again\
\ and see you again December 22nd\
\ Sawasdee\
