well... I have the worst sunburn ever in life, so bad on the backs of my knees it hurts to walk and sit and in general word of warning: never buy life brand sunscreen, it just doesn't work I bought a hammock, though, so the better part of the last 2 days have been spent laying in agony on my porch. Especially nice today after the full moon party where we partied for HOURS until the sun came up. There are millions of Israelis here. It doesn't really feel like Thailand here cuz the falangs greatly outnumber residents, it'll be nice [View Full Entry]

the last couple of days have been like something out of the Amazing Race, and of course I won! Too bad my prize wasn't a million dollars... let's start from the beginning, shall we? Wednesday morning Maya (my Swedish friend) and I left Sihanoukville at 7am, we took a mini bus to the boarder of Thailand and discovered a road even worse than the one to Siem Reap. There were 12 passengers in a 10 passenger van the whole way. There were places where the mud was about knee deep and when we got stuck in them our driver would floor [View Full Entry]

I was trying to prevent myself from posting on my blog because I really have nothing to say, but I'm bored so if you don't want to read this one I'll understand. I've kind of conviced myself that you all want to make sure I'm still alive and everything's okay, so that's really why I'm posting... it's all for you! So here's the update: after my last post about the depressing weather it cleared up a little and I headed down to the beach to read and get some sun on my face. When I got to the beach I ran [View Full Entry]

I really hope the weather here gets better soon, this shit is depressing! I guess that's what I get for coming here during the rainy season, seriously considering turning around and heading back to Thailand to do my dive training and seeing some sun again. anyways, if you guys want to look at some photos I've taken they're on a website called photobucket under redhedsrock7, I'd link it for you but you can all figure it out for yourselves if you're that desperate. Warning, none are labelled or organised so have at er! [edit: so apparently you can't just have a [View Full Entry]

Alright, so let's start from where we left our hero in Bangkok... I got up at the crack of dawn to take the stupid bus to Cambodia, Siem Reap to be specific, and it was really empty, just 6 of us on it. Then we got to the boarder and tried to take our passports and money for visas, all of us were sceptical but in the end they convinced us there would be no time at the boarder for us to do it ourselves and we all gave in. Then they let us sit for 20 minutes--I mean TWO AND [View Full Entry]

so this is the last blog I will be writing from Khao San, just sitting here uploading my photos to a website and trying to get some onto my blog but I can't quite work out how to do it. I was hoping I could put up some photos from the Tiger Temple and elephant riding. Amy left this evening and it was really sad to see her go, she really wanted to stay longer but her studies called. I'm really on my own now! scary and cool! oh, so the reason I'm only in Bangkok for one more night is [View Full Entry]

i've been getting loads of messages from people asking if I'm okay and if things are crazy/scary during these times of unrest in Thailand everything seems fine right now, I've been out of Bangkok for the past 2 days so it was hard to know what was going on in the city. we were staying on a raft guest house and the guy who ran the place showed us the paper and it had loads of pictures of tanks and people dead and he kept making a powpowpow noise and laughing. it was awkward. as we came back into the city [View Full Entry]

so let's just say I'm not the hugest fan of the backpacker district, Khoh San, but it's been great to see Amy and be in Thailand. it hasn't really sunk in yet that I'm actually here and I'm actually doing this, but maybe the sinking in was what happened when I had my emo breakdown before I left... aaaaaaaaaaaanyways, turns out the first person I met in Thailand ended up being a big loser, he was this Aussie who sat next to me on the bus from the airport and then he just tagged along, even inviting himself to stay in [View Full Entry]

so my hostel pretty much sucks, oh well at least I have a bed to sleep in that is so close to my roommate's that she touched me a couple of times "in her sleep" "accidentally" and my other roommate talks in her sleep in Chinese let's get the bitching out of the way right off the bat: the plane ride was ridculous and somehow I got trapped in my seat by the 2 largest men on the plane, the one next me even had the gall to stick his foot in my spot! also I got busted trying to use [View Full Entry]
