Kenny Best blog so far kids. And the picture of Rope Head topped it off. It will have to go next to arnie as my wallpaper. I hope Rope Head is gonna come home with Mark, Riko and Nunny? Cos she looks like da bomb. Maybe I should see if she wants to burn some cd's and write some c++ programs. I bet she's good at washing dishes too. Finally Riko has seen the light and bought a singlet, or is it a tank top? Either way i'm glad he's getting his guns out. Chang chang. Ding Ding. Chavez. Peace
hi guys, great to see all is running like clock work.....hahaha.
sounds like you are having a great time, we went to NZ for a week, had a ball. lots of snow, then to perisher which has 20cm of snow.......woooohooo. it snowed 20cm the day we arrived so you can imagine how bad it was before we arrived........
anyway have a great time, PS your flight times have changed BKK to sydney. double check it before you leave which is about 4months away.
rope head hehehe. rope head. i have taken great pleasure in laughin at that for the past five minutes - and telling kurt who, of course, didn't find anything vaguely amusing about it. love yer guts, sounds like you're having a rad old time. xxx
kanchanburi Hey Ropehead and Richo.
sounds like things are back on track.
Michelle,
we found out on friday that the Loft is one of 6 areas for "review" as part of cost saving.
spoke to the young people on friday arvo. i explained the situation to them that the process was now in the hands of the Councillors. They were highly motivated. Petitions. delegations to see Councillors. organising as many people as possible to come to the Council meeting on 15 August. I of course am unable to participate or even suggest possible strategies. i can only answer their questions. But by gee they've had some great questions. :)
Enjoy Kachanburi. It was a highglight of our stay.
Barney
oh Ropey and Mark
what an image I have in my mind. You sound like you are paving a fantastic reputation for all Aussies abroad. well done.
Mt poo,
I spent 10 days on Koh chang with Neil. It was pure Heaven. We had a bungalow ON the beach and spent most of the day lolling around in the bath temperature water and drinking refreshing tigers. We were right at the very end of the island (about half and hour away from the township) at a 'resort' that had one restaurant/bar/tv. Glorious. One minor mishap was when we hired a motorbike to tour the island and check out the beautiful waterfalls, was when we got off the bike, leant it against a tree (it had no stand) where the bike promptly smashed onto the ground.
It was a test of my minimal thai to negotiate with a mechanic/grocer/pet shop owner to fix it.
Ahhh fun and games.
Well Uncle Chop Chop spoke to Monty the other night as well, and is sure nothing of the kind was said.
But maybe in truth, they might both miss yuz, a bit.
Great stuff kids! Gday Andrew and Michelle
Great write up Michelle aka nunny. Good to hear your having a good time. Keep the updates coming.
Hows the weather?
Gotta tell you, Swan St The Hill is now dead quite, and the old residents are loving it. Talk going around the joint (I saw Bob tonight) is that everyone is glad to see me go because the noise maker has left the building...yes, because clearly it was ALL ME! /Ben look sideways into camera.
We will have to show send you some pics of our new fishtank too.
Keep on keepon on! Stay safe.
Warm regards
Sam and Ben.
Sounds awful Geez.....all these good times you're having, it sounds like the worst trip ever....I think I might cancel mine.......just stay at work 'n' that....
Anyhoo........keep up the good work Mark and Chucka
See yuz later
ahhh sorry i missed your party. hope your having fun despite all the drama. have you found my monkey yet? we miss you round the office, friday just wasnt the same-it was weird everyone doing work and stuff.
hey Michelle, Richo,
sorry to hear about your travails with thieves etc. must be a bummer having to wait for replacements. A bit like Council i suppose. :)
Michelle we have managed to organise all 3 (Jiao, Rhys AND Maddy) to go to San Jose. The UNESCO end is still chaotic but we're trying.
general: what have you been doing?
bill murray: trying sir!!!!!
keep your bags under your arm.
have absolutely no suggestions for what to do with valuables while swimming. (there may be a product development opportunity here).
take care, barney
Crazy Niggerz! Glad you're having a great time peops! Shitty cold and wet weather here. Don't forget we expect you both to be awesome Tom Yum Goong makers when you get back here! And keep those snorkels and a board handy in case of a tsunami. Be safe be seen be alert not alarmed
wow - u guys are having a great time hi guys, sounds like your really enjoying the time away. The things u do are just crazy!!! :D
wish i could come along.
xoxo love will
bring it on if you cant get down south, make sure you check out the night markets in ChangMai and get to Pai for a couple of days. Its fantastic. Hire a big bike from ChangMai and ride up, visiting the hot springs on the way.
Anything at the markets will sell for 40% of the asking price, dont seem too keen, and you can get them right down.
Get a fucking chain and bolt your shit to your body. Novice travellers, Jeeeeaazzzzz...........!
Oh yeah, and I need a favour if you're back in Bangkok.
In Khoa Shan road you can buy university degrees.
If you find one for under 2000 Baht lemme know and I'll send you the cash.
Good Luck. Try not to fall off ya bike and lose shit. Im a veteran at both.
James
shucks! awww shucks. getting mugged within your first twenty four hours sucks - but hey, at least you seem to have taken it in good spirits. and you couldn't have paid for a tuk tuk experience like that - well actually, i guess you did! we miss you. stay safe you ratbags x
uh huh Thus begins the nunnyRiko adventures...
I can only imagine what's going to happen next.
such a bugger about the camera, man!
That was actually Mark-wanting to destroy all evidence of his shameful haircut...
seems like a great trip so far! Hey Michelle!
I'm really sorry that you got robbed on the beginning on your trip!
But hey I can't get worse now, right? I'm leaving Australia in 2 weeks and hope to see you next year in Europe.
Good luck for further trip and greetings to Richard. Don't they know he's GOD????
Judski

After celebrating 6 years together and having travelled seperately in the past, Michelle and Andrew thought the best plan was to blow all of their money that they'd been saving to buy a house and travel the globe instead.... full info
