Gaz, just wanted to say i've been lurkin on your site for the past 2 months and I'm extremely glad you're enjoying yourself over there. I'm extremely jealous! I also wanted to apologise about not making your leaving do, which was in part due to a flat tyre on the way to Newcastle Train station and secondly a major domestic. I hope that things continue to go well for you though, just watch out for the pigeons haha! Lots of Luv, Paul. x

Pidgeon ahoy! Ha ha. Pissing myself here. Hope ya like the Star Rise Guesthouse. They're really kool there. We're off to Kep tomorrow. Just found out today that we can't go into Vietnam via the north as there's only 3 entry points to Vietnam for foreigners and they're all in the south, which has b*****ed up our original plans but ya gotta just roll with it! Remind me to give ya my mate's email address in Perth for when you're heading there. Catch ya later.

Hey friends. Ive just updated all my travels so far and pictures the only ones missing are scuba ones as need to fill my memory card on camera. Just before I go I wanna share a crazy experience I had today with you all. I arrived back in bangkok this morning (7am) after the catarman journey from hell (read postcards) then there I am taking a walk through the local park to get a bus when this guy comes up to me asks where Im from (yes the usual thai swindle chat) and then just puts 3 bags of sweetcorn (pigeon food) onto my backpack whilst I have it on and says theres a gift from me to you. I take the bag he tells me today is good luck to feed the pigeons and proceeds to help me open the bags when a lady wlaks over tells me Im feeding them wrong...next minute I have literally 100 pigeons all over me..my head/bag/arms...I of course freak out and jump sideways/up/down anyway I can...then the best bit they then surround me and say you pay for food....one in front one at the side...you all know me - not a cat in hells chance -I dont think so.. I walked straight towards and through them and off I walk to the bus stop with abuse being shouted behind me...can you believe that? crazy people...ha ha ha Ive gotta laugh now though it was funny!
Okay take care and keep ur messages coming. G x

Hello Scooby Doo, just sent you another update on the old Manchester scene via email. Also, on your WAYNE profile, just noticed what your favourite quote is "sideways with violence" - the old one's are the best.
Nearly fell of my chair when reading your email in which you remind me of Luke's little money pot and our indiscretion whilst he was on holiday....
Take care me old mucca. Daniel x
