So we are now in Chiang Mai up North!! Our last day in Bangkok was spent at a shopping mall and the cinema. Haha the cinema was amusing...after the trailers and ad's were over the screen went blank and suddenely everybody quickly stood up straight. We assumed it was some strange film etiquette over here and reluctantly stood up too. Then a short film commenced basically showing various images of the king - his face on the stamp, his face on billboards, soldiers saluting the king etc as the national anthem played in the background. We were like hmm has the [View Full Entry]

Ohhh it's suchhh a perfect dayyyyy I have had an amazing day today so I'm in a very jolly mood indeed!!!! We organised a trip out so we were picked up from our hotel (we don;t do things by halves you know) at 7am. Another early start!!! First stop....WW2 cemetery. So basically the people buried here were Japanese POW. Basically we all know the Japanese wer evil bastards during the war. This included forcing POW and pressganging the general public into building a railway, now known as the 'death railway' as so many people died due to the terrible conditions. The [View Full Entry]

We arrived in Bangkok the day before yesterday. As soon as we arrived in the airport it was like a breath of fresh air (literally). It was clean, spacious and organised (Delhi airport is a joke). The taxi journey to our hotel took about three quarters of an hour and it was cool looking out of the window at Bangkok. It reminded us of Singapore with skyscrapers etc. Our hotel is really nice so we were impressed!!! The first day we didn't do much just checked out Khao San Rd-which I had heard was really dirty and busy, but I found [View Full Entry]

Well, my trip in India has almost reached an end. We are flying to Bangkok this evening!! The night before last, was our last meal as a GAP group, a last supper if you will. I joked that our leader Joshi was Judas, and in some peoples opinions that wasn't far from the truth. Many felt he hadn't fulfilled his duty (of which i was glad, i didn't want a school trip, I prefered that he let us get on with our own thing), but laos that he had told many lies and that he was getting a lot of commission [View Full Entry]

So...we got a train from Jaipur to Agra meeting at 5am. We were gonna have an early night but me, Nick and James ended up staying up chatting until after midnight so were exhausted. The train journey was a mess from the start with firstly two Indians screaming at each other for about fifteen minutes, Basically some woman had a box that she put on somebody elses seat and expected the poor guy to move. Then, a bunch of Danes (who I originally thought were German) started having a massive go at our group for sitting in their seats (which we [View Full Entry]

Am now in Jaipur, arrived yesterday morning by bus, only a 4 hour journey this time!! Not bad ey?! Well I last wrote in Pushkar and on that very evening at around 1am I was extremely ill. It was awful. I think it was the orange juice (which was more of a murky brown and didn't taste great), but hey i was thirsty!!! Anyay I woke up around 1am and had to run to the bathroom to be sick. I then returned to bed and ten minutes had to return to the bathroom. I was in the bathroom until 4.30am throwing [View Full Entry]

Well, haven't had time to write for a few days now. Lst time i wrote I was in Jodphur, I think at the end I said w would be getting the bus to Jaipur the next day. However, while on the bus I found out it was Udaipur. As someone today said "Jaymi...you never have a clue what's goin on". But anyway, we left Udaipur this morning and after eight long hours on the bumpiest ride ever (we were literally flung out of our seats every few minutes) we arrived in Pushkar. So let me start where I left off.....So our [View Full Entry]

So we arrived in Jodphur yesterday afternoon. We had been told the bus journey would take 8 hours and we set off at 6am so we weren't looking forward to it! However it only took around 5 hours and wasn't too bad despite the annoying tune the bus had for a horn which was also ridiculously loud! So looking out of the bus window upon arrival we weren't too impressed. It reminded us a bit of Delhi-lots of stalls, litter etc. We got a rickshaw to our hotel and it was the scariest thing ever!! They are usually pretty scary anyway [View Full Entry]

Hi guys, Well, I don't ave much time so I'll make this speedy. So I'll just describe the town I'm staying in. Basically its centered around a frt and theres lots of narrow streets. Each street is lined with stalls and you can't walk by without "please come and look at my things, very nice things come and see". The grou I'm travelling with are the tightest bastards I've ever met. We ltierally won't part with anything. There are 80 rupees to the pound and anything that's more than 100 rupees (including meals) we are like haha you wish. But we [View Full Entry]
