Tracks of my tears (Not quite) Ahh Mike that is so sweet it almost made me cry! Gorgonzola of the purest kind! Vomit worthy!!
But its my turn for a bit of cheese! I also feel that my travels (although unfinished- Ha ha Im not back in the real world yet sucker!) would not have been the same without meeting you!
Especially the fun I had taking the mickey out of you in Fiji (about your unpractical white clothes for travelling, and how grey most of them had become, and how you didn't know how to use the washing machine to clean them as your mummy had always done it for you. Although I did come to your rescue with the washing machine!!! )
And also for the fun Me, You and Karen had taking stupid "Magazine shot" photos on the beach in Fiji (Which by the way you should get on here) I know I turned in to a mental woman in NZ and I can only apologise for that (But you did steel K from me)
Im not sure how Paul will feel being called "Hannah's Paul" but I like it (He does belong to me after all)! Ha ha!
Keep smiling and hope to see you when I get home! Love Hannah
Thailand Shenanigans!!! Hi Mike,
First of all, why did you get in a truck with 2 random men in THAILAND?!!!! Pretty stupid idea don't you think? No wonder they took you to some dodgy pub!
How cheep/expensive was diving course because we are thinking about doing it in Perth! But may wait!
Keep having fun Hannah
ween machine ''Sofia is Maria's friend. Both are really nice girls.... especially Sofia!''
I think Maria would be disappointed at this comment, you said they were both really nice girls, should have left it there.
Champ sounds like a dog's name.
These bars sound odd, are they gay bars then with prostitutes on the side for those who are only 'curious'?
Don't come home. The Dogs are waiting at the airport to give u beats for ruining their careers.
Bring me back a tiger....alive......i want to kill it myself.
Safe journeys etc, kingba
Gewilo I think you must be staying somewhere away from Central or TST (SF as your friends referred to), otherwise you would see more gewilo (that's what we called white foreigners). I used to have a lot of friends from UK, as they didn't need to have work permit to work here before 1997. They left when getting a work permit becomes a pain.
Deeeeeean,
It's been a while since i wrote on this bad boy but I've only just got the internet in the new house!
first thing I've got to say- the floating village! That palce is awesome, I went there a few years back with the fam, although what brought it's awesome'ness down a level was a monkey that mugged us on our arrival!..little critters..
You really should love Phuket! Lovely place, amazing beach(es).. memory is wearing thin so don't rely on me for any suggestions.
That said it should be time to go and finish making my bed.. literally make it- the buggers delivered it flat packed, how very dare they..
starting to talk shart now, so i'm gonna say take care mate! Enjoy the rest of Thailand.. Speak sooooon!
lovin asia! hey there thought it was finally time for me to leave a comment on your blog!! glad your havin a great time in thailand- isnt asia wicked!!! already my last couple of days in viet nam - i've also just had an insanely cheap hair cut (not quite as cheap as chips, maybe pie and chips!) and got some clothes made! really jealous of your tiger encounter! probably see you soon somewhere around puket, keep your phone on!!!
Problem!! Dean i have some problems with this last blog of yours.
1) Firstly in the picture entitled, 'me and a tiger' you appear to have your finger up that tiger's anus! I know you spoke about 'once in a lifetime chance', and at least you can say you've done it, but to be honest i think you are exploiting their degree of domestication.
2) You say a meal costs about £1.50 out there and let us assume you buy a large portion of chips for £1.50. You then claim your £150 suit was, 'cheap as chips'....Dean, either chips in Thailand are obscenely expensive or you sir, are telling fibs.
3) Interesting fact you might like to know about tigers: stripy cats in england are actually just underdeveloped tigers, if you feed them protein supplements from a young age you get yourself a tiger.
4) Interesting fact about scorpions (this one's not a lie!) if you put some alchohol on a scorpion's back it will sting itself to death!!! I read that off a penguin biscuit wrapper so it must be true!!! So though i am impressed with you consuming a scorpion, a real man would have swallowed a live one and washed it down with a triple whiskey!
Have fun and hijinks etc....Kingba
tiny people you're right about the tiny hong kongers! We have two guys at uni who play international rugby for hong kong 7's and they are both tiny....but very fast....bring me back a panda, it can be a baby one if u like to help with the smuggling.
Year of the pig Hi Mike,
Great to get your blogs. It gives me an idea of what I want to do when I leave Perth! Hong Kong looks great! Thought that Ild let you know that Paul was born in the year of the pig! Which I find quite funny!
Keep having fun Hannah xxx
HKG I see HKG has changed little over the years, pics are great. R tells of his adventures there during the Navy, I have been there 3 times. Where one stays on Nathan Street determines how much money one has. The further away from the Star Ferry the less money one has. My first visit took a very long walk to SF, my last visit, I was almost on the water! I had arrived! I wonder where you stayed - YMCA at SF?
Tassie Glad you enjoyed Tassie.I knew you would.I see you found wee Georgie Wood!!You also found a train I did not see "The Margate Train"
Hope you enjoy Queensland .
g'day mate....sounds like ur having an awesome time....can u bring me back a kangaroo....boomarang and a 'barbie' please? oh oh...and Harold Bishop....
Looking forward to you getting back...although i bet you're not!!
things are just the same as always here....the only time things change is by doing something drastic...like....travelling around the world for 6months! nice...there's hope for us all then!
love u buddy

Pangs of jeolousy Mike your blog is making me insanely jeolous!
I started work in Perth on monday and infact im at work now!

Tassie Loved the blog, you are so lucky, I have been just way too cold in Canada this winter, how I would love to put my toes in the sand and swim in the sea! Pictures are great. No need to tell you to have fun:)
Oh dear my good fella!!!! You seem to be adopting a soon to be diagnosed unhealthy, life taking over, obsession with neighbours. I have researched at length for you mate and have found irrefutable evidence that a twice daily dose of coronation street, taken with water at meal times will cure you of all aussie soap opera related problems LOL.
Sounds like your having a wicked time mate. Looking forward to catching up back in blighty. see you soon

Neighbours. Find Joe Scully, he's the only neighbour worth getting your picture taken with. What happened to him did he get killed off, something about alchoholism, wasn't it. He wasn't laying in ramsey street with a bottle of whiskey and people sparing him change when u went was he. Also please confirm whether duck-billed platapuses are just ducks in little beaver costumes, or beavers with fake beaks. Ps: Pete Doherty had a head on car crash with the Dogs, all gone i'm afraid. The dogs last words were, 'since we gigged in woking no one takes us seriously, damn that bastard dean'. and pete doherty's last words were 'i wonder if i can smoke a hamster.'
Hi Mike,
Yes I do think that you are slightly sad (And so does Paul) that all you could find to do in this amazing country is to visit Ramsey Street!! Glad you are enjoying Melborne and meeting up with your mate Max! I know how it feels to be able to save a bit of cash on living expenses! The weather in Perth is roasting (40 degrees C tomorrow) Keep keeping it real! (Ha ha) High five, Happy time Hannah and Paul
Hey. Happy New Year. Sounds like ur having an amazing time. I'm extremely Jealous. Lovin the blogs. See ya wen ya get back. Take Care. Lots of Love. x x
Happy Xmas and New Years dude it looks like your having a grand time! No need to ask how xmas and new years went, can tell from your pics you've met a quality bunch of people! i went to World Bar too! hope you had a few of their tea kettles of liquer, if not get your arse back there! Also i think Jack's gf stayed in the Boomerang Hostel....possibly the one with the really small narrow winding staircase and big roof terrace with the kitchen on the top??? If you have time and want to see the shithole that i lived in, walk back towards Wakeup and just before you reach it on george st, just one more road past scruffy murphys and Cheers on the left hand side is City Central Backpackers. WOW I SO DONT MISS THAT PLACE! haha we are gokarting tonight, shame your not here so i can lap your sorry arse again! gd luck, keep safe etc, and get wasted....btw GOON TASTES LIKE SHITE WRAPPED IN A SOILED BABY'S DYPER AND THEN LIQUIDISED! this guy a knew drank so much of it had to go to hospital cos it had rotted his stomach lining...just a warning! lol BUT still drink enough of it to get wasted :)
