28.09.2009 You've got to be spontaneous I spontaneously booked a trip to Bahrain, an island in the Middle East. By spontaneous I mean coming home on Saturday night, looking up flights and writing to my friend Saad, who was my next door neighbour during our studies in Newcastle. I wrote the following e-mail to him "It's probably just a stupid idea and I'm probably not going to come but just in case I wake up tomorrow morning and feel like packing my bags... what are your plans next week?" He replied that he would have time, that I should book my flight and let him know when I'll arrive. We spent Sunday e-mailing each other and finding the proper flight for me, which I booked on Sunday evening to be leaving on Monday night. So here ... read more

30.03.2008 Meeting Karl...or not! I found out that the best way to get down to the island where I was supposed to meet Karl was by night bus. Yesterday while on tour with Fabian I kept calling all sorts of numbers I had in order to make a reservation but no luck. Fabian said that I can just go to the bus station in the evening and buy my ticket on site. Since I had not much to do, I decided to go to the hair dresser this morning. It's been ages since my last haircut and K told me that my hair looks shit so action needed to be taken. First they shampooed my hair, rinsed it off, shampooed it again and then I got a wonderful head massage. After the conditioner the young woman ... read more

28.03.2008 Karl Ok, here's the story of Karl. Karl and I met at a hostel in Los Angeles in October 2007 where we happened to share a room. What an idiot! I thought. After he had moved into our room I did not think much of him and certainly didn't mind that I was way too busy to see much of him anyway. It wasn't until my last day when his charm hit me. Oh and what a charmer he is... He talked me into having breakfast with him. That's also where we found out that we would be in Thailand around the same time. We exchanged e-mail addresses and spent the rest of the day together with friends of mine. During the past five months we exchanged a lot of e-mails and got to know ... read more

26.03.2008 Khao Yai National Park I hadn't planned to travel with Fabian. But since we had a really good time at our first meeting I had called him on Monday to find out if he was interested in joining me for the next trip. He was up for it and promised to call back as soon as he knew when he'd be off work. He returned my call last night and told me that he'd be off the following two days. Because I didn't expect him to be off that soon I hadn't thought about what to do. I grabbed my guide book and had a look at the map. Since we only had two days for our trip I suggested we go to Khao Yai National Park which is only two hours north-eastern of Bangkok. ... read more
