Its a sad day as i have to say good bye to oz. had an amzing time...but good times ahead for southeast asia....did hear some disturbing news from some traveller that some tourists have had been beheaded in southern thailand....whether thats true or not i have no idea. hah...i dont believe it personally. looking forward to treking throughasia for 3 months. Gunna be in singapore for about 5 days. then busing through the border to malasia penisular....gunna stay in melaka, Kuala lumpar and Ipoh i rekon and then bus it to the souther border of thailand and explore a fre of the islands. not a definate route yet but at least i have a rough idea of what i wanna do. possibly change as i travel through and meet other travellers. my next flight will be from bangkok to osaka (japan) which is now on th 20th of may. gives me a couple weeks in japan...had to cut it short due to money constraints.
Havent been doing too much since i last spoke...trying to stick to a tight budget which is proving difficult as australia is alot more expensive than england. stayed on magnetic island for 3 nights whcih is just off townsville. such an awsome hostel there, though i have 1 days of sun and two days of rain which sucked. then went straight to cairns where ive been hanging out with 3 awsome canadian guys (yep more...seems to be full of them here) travelled around cairns with them for about 4 days.
I think im gunna get a job in an architects firm in canada next year. ive got so many friends there now and they all rekon i should go there and stay with them. thought why not...would ve good fun and extra work/travel experience at the same time.
Flew back to brisbane yesterday and here for 2 nights. hostel is pretty awful...didnt sleep much cuz of the bed and noise..oh well...cant imagine its gunna get much better in asia. staying in a hostle in a place called 'little india' in singapore. only 5 pounds a nighht..so way cheper as its 15 pounds a night in australia for accomodation.
Anyways ive rambbled on enough. keep u posted on my journey through asia.

Hi Son, hope you are well, sounds like you had a great time in Australia, new adventures ahead. Not sure about the rumors though? make sure you keep to good routes and take advice when moving about.
Back from Spain yesterday, still suffering, must have been something I ate!! Singapore is a nice place, a bit more expensive than I thought it would be, but never the less good expirence. Keep in touch and have lots of fun, we are all thinking about you. x
