Hi everyone...and nan :] ha!
arrived in bangkok about a week ago from KHO TAO...got the ferry to mainland and then an 8 hour bus. Stayed in a cave for my first two nights. wasnt pleasant at all. was a pound a night and had to share a double bed with my two mates. its was like a sweat pit in our room. luckily we found a really nice place to stay with air con and A BED EACH...bit more expensive but can actually sleep now. Ive realised the stories about thai brides is true....so many old sleezy men with young girls...horrible!! been eating the street food and its amazing. had cockroaches, tree worms, grass hoppers and dried frogs...and they tasted suprisingly good. (coackroach was slightly strange). Went on a boat ride around bankok which was cool...saw aload of temples and huge buddahs. When to the the grand palace...though we got kicked out for not wearing trousers (it was about 37 degrees). went to china town yesterday which was pretty interesting.
Brought a taylor made suit, 4 shirts and an overcoat. they are sooo cool and it fits brilliantly. also brought a load of fake dvds and architecture programmes for uni. probabaly gunna buy some more in vietnam. (chepaer apparently). still travelling with sam and rob...gunna be with them till i go to japan. theyre a great laugh and become really good mates with them.
Watched the pompey game in a grimey bar (no sound) though we won and got to the FA CUP FINAL...so brought a fake 3pound pompey shirt to prepare myself for when i watch it (probably be in LAOS by then.
Bad news...my ipod got stolen from my room. me and rob went out and sam was sleeping and someone came in and stole it (unbelievable). im gutted...missing y music loads already.
Heading to cambodia on monday. gunna be staying in siam reap for a few days to see all the temples and things...cant wait. the weathers been sooo hot here...think it was 36 degrees yesterday. sweat factor has been pretty high. anyway... think thats most of the stuff...though im sure ive missed out a load!?
Hope everyones well...missing u all!!!
