Having messaged Hannah yesterday we decide to meet for breakfast today and catch up. It involves me getting a long train journey to the other side of the city, but it gives me a great view of this sprawling city. She picks me up in an early 2000 BMW, gold in colour it looks like it has been used in many a mafia job. That is the biggest difference between here and Thailand, all the cars here are pretty old and beat up, where as in Thailand it was nothing but brand new shiny cars due to the government incentive. We head not too far from the station and let Hannah order for me, she gets me a Roti, great, my favourite. I get it wolfed down with some of the juice and we chat for a good bit before we have to go and pick her brother up. I head along with her and we end up heading back to her house.

Hannah is a muslim and so she prays a number of times a day, so I just wait downstairs while she heads up to her room. The house is lovely, very clean and very modern, with even a swimming pool out the front, very nice. We chat away the afternoon in the cool surrounding of her home, which was nice a relaxing, with the added benefit of me not sweating, which I was greatly appreciative of. She drops me back to the station as I am meeting SJ for dinner and to say goodbye before she gets a flight to Australia.

SJ and I head to this place close to where she is getting the bus from, as she is panicking a little about missing it. She is not looking forward to going to Australia, she keeps referring to it as the end of her holiday. I keep telling her to stop thinking about it like that, because it is just another chapter in the epic travel journey. I can't help but feel that I am also not ready to head to Australia. I have enjoyed my time so much in Asia and the though of heading back to the modern western world is not sounding appealing at the moment. Luckily I have another month or so before I have to be worrying about that. After a terrible meal in a restaurant where no English was spoken or written, SJ boards the bus, with the promise that we will meet up again in Oz, somewhere.

I head back to the hostel to watch a movie or two, though I keep getting asked to turn it down, and the audio is all over the place, rising and falling that I end up not bothering and heading to bed.
