Excellent point El Bastarde, I should have eaten a bar of chocolate instead! Don't worry, I only ever eat it if there is no other option so as long as there are nice eats I will steer well clear! Mind you, that's the first time in years that I have ever eaten from the evil McShite but I hope to make it a lifetime of never doing it again!
Glad you are finding what you went looking for, and that you appreciate NZ's natural beauty. But remember, by handing money over to McDonalds corp, you are helping to erode another untouched corner of the planet. Vote with those dollars.
hawking's delight "They are both very young and have only been together for a year so spend most of their time bickering about whether Elijah Wood was in Spiderman and, more interestingly, why Darran had brought pants instead of Ruth's swimming costume to the beach." just made me drip a cornflake onto my chest.
I am now an avid reader of your blog. ;o)
In case you were wondering, it's misty and cold here. Although there was a fantastic sunset last night, come to think of it, (which I do). However, as it turns out, the sunset lied. I don't know if there are any shepherds round these parts, but if there are I can guarantee they'll be feeling a little miffed at the moment.
Take care, you. And remember at all times, there isn't one of your mates who wouldn't rather be where you are right now. Well, except for me - right now I'm receiving rather startling fellatio, administered by a 19 year old Russian gymnast who calls herself Ralph - but you know what I mean. In about 6 minutes I'd rather be there.
Have fun, Amy.
Yours,

Finally!!! I experienced some sort of panic attack last night when I was in bed, not as bad as I have had them before but it made me wake up with a real need to get out of Bangkok whatever the cost. So I have booked a flight to Phuket which leaves tomorrow morning. I was offered somewhere to stay at a pricey 1200 Baht but looking for somewhere to stay is becoming quite taxing so I might just pay it. I'll just have to get a job as soon as I land in New Zealand otherwise cash flow will be a problem. I don't know how people can do hostels and that in Thailand, I don't think I would have coped without my own room so I guess it's time to fork out the 139quid for 7 nights in Phuket, flights were 60 so really my two weeks in Thailand has cost me nearly 400 which isn't what I pictured really!
Go North Hi Amy - sorry hear that Bangkok isn't really a great first experience for you. get yourself on an organised tour to chiang mai or an island - it's the easiest way to meet british people who are travelling alone. take care x
That sounds quite funny to be honest... but it is clearly not the place for you. but please do take photos!! if it makes you feel any better it is raining and raining and raining in London.
Good luck Greetings from Spike (Mr Gigger). I've added your blog site to my list of favourites so I'll hopefully be able to follow your progress.
Best of luck with everything and I genuinely hope all goes well for you. Don't forget, as long as you have internet access you're not alone.
Be strong.

Musician escaping the rat race that seems to have consumed every corner of my life for far too long!
That was a bit vague for details!
I've been living and working in London for the last ten years; it's gone way too quick and I have not achieved a great deal so I decided it was time to head off somewhere new and face a new challenge. So it starts on the 17th January when I fly out of Heathrow to Bangkok where I will spend two weeks bumming around Thailand reading and writing are my most likely activities here, as well as immersing myself in the local culture. Then it's off to Sydney to... full info
