Can you believe it? The wife and I have touched down in oz Vegas. But before i talk about that I'd just like to reflect on the past 60 days i've spent in asia...
Things I have seen done miss or all of the above...Joma Cafe, eating snake in Vietnam, eating tarantula Cambodia, eating wild boar in Vietnam, eating water buffalo in Laos, eating frog in Singapore, having the bangkok belly, watching ping pong shows and doing far to much tequila in Phuket, shouting at more sex tourists than i care to remember in thailand, seen more breathtaking islands than i care to remember, rode an elephant in laos, rode an elephant in samui, seen how cruely they treat monkeys at the monkey show in samui, took a jungle trek and swam in a scarily powerful waterfull in samui, wanting to turn vegetarian after the markets seen in Vietnam, fell in love with the streets of Hoi An, rode a bicycle to soak up the sights of laos and vietnam, took a junkboat stay at Halong Bay, trod in the same sand as Leo DiCaprio from The Beach, taking a shot of "fermented snake" and snakes blood then instantly regretting it, rode on the dodgiest of coaches to get to ko phangan, FULL. MOON. PARTY. being locked in a toilet by a crazy thai lady, tried durian fruit in kuala lumpur then instantly regretting it, wandered aimlessely around KL taking in the sights of the twin towers, been a true tourist and took in the sights of singapore on a hop on and off tourist bus, stayed at the nicest hostels in singapore and krabi, spent a week drinking pretty much day and night in Bali, met some of the nicest and douchiest guys all at the same time, realised there are still some decent guys out there and i'll bag one of them when im good and ready to, Bubba Gumps and winning the trivia quiz questions enough saidddd, seen breathtaking temples...Angor Wat and Tulan Lot being my complete favs, taking a trek by myself and standing on a tiny deserted island sitting there in complete silence, walking through the crashing waves of bali to get the best view of the sea temples away from the tourist and sitting there completly exhilarated, smiling by myself at what it before my eyes pretty much every day...and now Australia.
Its weird to be here, i think i feel more like a foreigner here than i do being surrounded by asians! we have a week here to chill out in Cairns before our tour starts, part of me is itching for it to be over so i can see the contiki lot once more and settled down into normal life, but part of me knows despite only having 3 weeks of travelling left, I havent even started yet :)
So thats all there is to say really. Oz is bloody expensive, just wondered around Woolworths seraching for the smart price brand of everything. Mum would be so proud...
toodles!
