Apologies for the slack attitude to my little online diary. If it is any consolation, I haven't updated my personal journal for three weeks either. I have been in Thailand for more than two weeks now (three weeks? Kind of losing track of time). Bangkok freaked me out a little bit. I am aware that there is plenty of interesting stuff to see and do, but I decided to put off exploring the city until my return (I fly home from Bangkok) and get the hell out. So I took the night bus (what joy, what fun) down to Ko Phan Ngan, an island off the south east coast, made famous for its ability to keep the entire S.E.

Hi again everybody. Sofie and I are about to go our separate ways. She has a visa for the People's Republic of China and I for Vietnam. We've tried to reconcile ourselves to travelling separately on our journey but since we'll meet again in Saigon in a month or so it's really not so long at all. So to Bangkok. Every time I visit the city I am more and more suprprised. Sure it's a big noisy Asian Megacity but it has it's charms. We spent a fair bit of time being choked by traffic fumes but taking the river ferries from Banglamphu via Wat Po and onto the Skytrain gives a different perspective. We met up with another Warren and a Sarah too in Calcutta Airport and spent many an hour eating lunch while they ... read more
