Hannah Heyy Everyone! Just to let you know, still having problems with photos and cameras so wont be any photos for a while but there will probably be a lot going on at some point! Hope your all wellll, x x x x

Sarah Hello!Sounds like you're having so much fun!Is there time for any sleeping cus you seem to be cramming a lot of things into your days?!Sounds like quite an experience living with the Monks!Take it you've not got any plans to update your wardrobe with a nice set of baggy white clothes then?!Good luck on your trek!Just think of the reward at the end as well - a week on a gorgeous beach!Probably safer to leave your photos til you get to 'Oz' but can't wait to see them all.Have fun! Lots of love S x x x x x x

Anne Hi Hannah, Sounds better each time you write!! For future reference it's Oz but never Auz!! So Ozzie's and Kiwi's say Oz and NZ. Here's a few hints about the language in Oz you can practice and share with your friends....Ho! ho! Ho! (I took out all the rude references and please note I immediately sent to a non Australian (you, Hannah) as all the Australians I know know all of the below instinctively ENJOY!!! A x You know you're Australian if.... You know the meaning of 'girt' You believe that stubbies can either be worn or drunk You think it is normal to have a Prime Minister called Kevin You waddle when you walk due to the 53 expired petrol discount vouchers stuffed in your wallet or purse You understand that the phrase 'a group of women wearing black thongs' refers to footwear and may be less alluring than it sounds You pronounce Melbourne as 'Mel-bin' You pronounce Penrith as 'Pen-riff' You believe the 'L' in the word ' Australia ' is optional You can translate: 'Dazza and Shazza played Acca Dacca on the way to Maccas' You believe it makes perfect sense for a nation to decorate its highways with large fibreglass bananas, prawns and sheep You think 'Woolloomooloo' is a perfectly reasonable name for a place You believe it makes sense for a country to have a $1 coin that's twice as big as its $2 coin You understand that 'Wagga Wagga' can be abbreviated to 'Wagga' but 'Woy Woy' can't be called 'Woy' You believe that cooked-down axlegrease makes a good breakfast spread You believe all famous Kiwis are actually Australian, until they stuff up, at which point they again become Kiwis You know, whatever the tourist books say, that no one says 'cobber' You know that certain words must, by law, be shouted out during any rendition of the Angels' song 'Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again' You believe, as an article of faith, that the confectionary known as the Wagon Wheel has become smaller with every passing year You still don't get why the 'Labor' in 'Australian Labor Party' is not spelt with a 'u' You wear ugh boots outside the house You believe that the more you shorten someone's name the more you like them Whatever your linguistic skills, you find yourself able to order takeaway fluently in every Asian language You understand that 'excuse me' can sound rude, while 'scuse me' is alway polite You know what it's like to swallow a fly, on occasion via your nose You understand that 'you' has a plural and that it's 'youse' You know it's not summer until the steering wheel is too hot to handle Your biggest family argument over the summer concerned the rules of beach cricket You shake your head in horror when companies try to market what they call 'Anzac cookies' You still think of Kylie as 'that girl off Neighbours' When returning home from overseas, you expect to be brutally strip-searched by Customs - just in case you're trying to sneak in fruit You believe the phrase 'smart casual' refers to a pair of black tracky-daks, suitably laundered You understand that all train timetables are works of fiction When working at a bar, you understand male customers will feel the need to offer an excuse whenever they order low-alcohol beer You get choked up with emotion by the first verse of the national anthem and then have trouble remembering the second You find yourself ignorant of nearly all the facts deemed essential in the government's new test for migrants. You will immediately forward this list to other Australians, here and overseas, realising that only they will understand!!! .

Eva WOW Hannah, it looks like your having an amazing time! i love the pictures of the elephants! I hope you have fun adventures.xxx

Laura Hey Hannah J! Loving the photos and your messages, looks fantastic- and so warm!-I'm in snowland and havn't seen sunlight for a good few days now-argh! Keep up all the adventures and exploring, can't wait to hear more stories :) Laura x x x

anne Hello Hannah, How are you? Need we ask, hope you are working hard on your tan, I mean Thai! You have to throw in some Thai phrases next time so we know you aren't just having an amazing holiday. Your group looks really nice and fun, the photos are great, not sure about third last one, Jan 18th Is that a snake???? A x P.s. still pea green with envy!!

Colette Wow! Blog and photos look like you're having an amazing time already! I am so envious, sat in bed writing this in the middle of the day in an attempt to keep warm in lovely...newcastle! I hope it keeps going so well, keep up the blogs! Lots of love xxxxxx

Jan and Martin Hi Hannah Your photos are fantastic - looks like you are with a really good group. Your tuk tuks are far cleaner than ours but have yours got subwoofers in the back with disco lights and a funky driver doing his moves as he dodges the traffic?

Mum and Dad Hello Hannah Just found your travel website and got your email - sounds like you're having lots of fun!! Very envious of the hot weather!! xx

Jo :) V.jealous of your itinerary!! Hope you have a wonderful time and i will look forward to the updates. Have lots of fun xxx
