Monday 23rd Feb
Well here I am, just out of Sydney on a 747 headed to Bangkok . Utterly exhausted and running on empty after the chaos that has been the last few weeks, not to mention the complete lack of sleep in the last 2 days (absolute necessity when leaving things to the last minute J ). So im gone, im outta Melbourne . It feels entirely surreal, it definitely hasn’t sunk in that I have left greythorn road for good and that I have no job or house to come back to, it feels like im just going to wake up tomorrow at home and do the same old, guess im in for a bit of a shock and hopefully some good fun. I have to sign off now, time for some catch-up shut-eye and I have a spare seat next to me, JOY!!, ill get back on this thing when something interesting happens……Later
Just arrived in Bangkok and i immeadiately got ripped off if you are new to southeast asia just say that you live there and you dont want anything they are offering, or perhaps just the short version “NO”, either way they are very persistant. The room I stayed in at Bangkok was pretty gross, and it stank of rotten cheese, but im sure there are going to be many more far worse places for accommodation.
