Age and Kym

Who would have thought that after 6 countries, 31 cities and 8 months overseas that we would find paradise in our very last location. It's hard to believe but Langkawi has had actually had the magical ability to make us totaly forget that we were ever in Hong Kong which is somthing we never anticipated. Gone is the bitterness that we experienced for so many months and replaced is the feeling of ultra relaxation. How do people not know about this place. For anybody reading this blog and looking at taking a trip to Thailand or Fiji, scrap that save some money and spend as much time as you can here. Not only does the place have 30 dollar whole lobsters, beautiful sandy beaches with crystal clear water, the friendlest people on earth and perfect temperature ... read more

I always new i wasn't quite normal growing up. While other kids were bugging their parents with answers to the latest trigenometry homework I was more interested in knowing why sheep didn't shrink in the rain and why lemon flavouring is artificial yet theres 'real lemon juice' in dish washig liquid??? My thirst for the absurd has created the freak you see and read before you and i have only myself to blame. It has created a person who is easily distracted from the normality of every day life and fascinted by anything that sits outsides it boundries. For instance. Right now, like most of you who are probably reading this blog, I am supposed to be working. I find this quite ironic. The computer and internet invented to streamline our working lives and make it ... read more

How have I not known for all these years that Fabio had his nose broken by a goose on a rollercoaster? Does everyone else know this? It seems quite a few years ago Fabio was hired by a theme park for some reason to be among the first few to try a new rollercoaster that had been built. He strapped himself in, smiled for the papparazi and was on his way. Whilst rocketing through the loop the loop a goose who was living in a near by pond flew past for a closer look at the most beautiful man in the world and ended up exploding on his face. The ride stops and Fabio lumbers out with a broken nose and a handful of goose feathers to top up his pillows. The goose will live on.......... ... read more

Theres somthing that I need to get off my chest and it's not the hair that Kym is so desperate for me to wax. It was year 11 camp, Outdoor Ed. There was a 15km hike through the Grampian's National Park following by camping at night and then a bus ride back to town the following day. Being the health concious kid I was, I decided rather than eat all the chips and chocolates that all the other kids were taking on the journey I was going to take some dried apricots. 2kgs of them. Truth be known its all my 1 dollar 20 cents was going to buy me. At camp that night by the fire I felt somthing I'd never felt before. I can liken it only to the movie Alien were that thing ... read more

Backpackers may be the only group of individuals in the world named after their luggage carrying devices. Thats kind of strange dont you think? What do they call people who carry a sack? Pretty unfortunate. No real backpacker wants to be known as a backpacker either. They want to be travellers. Travellers have a sense of adventure, an endless bank account and are never afraid of the unknown. Backpackers have a reputation of being cultureless, dirty and so tight that they make Jews seem frivilous ( there it is, weve singularly insulted every group of stereotypes known to man in these blogs). It used to be easy to distinguish them by backpacks alone until companys went ahead and started putting wheels on backpacks thus fucking everything up. Nowadays your average backpacker has cottoned on to this, ... read more
