Tip No. 4 You are going to get asked about 11 times if you want to go to a ping pong show...you might eventually say yes...if you do you won't be able to look at bananas in the same way again :( We have now arrived in Thailand! We had a very quick stopover for one day in Singapore but we are going there on the way to Australia anyway. When we first arrived into Bangkok we luckily got chatting to a couple of English girls who said that we could all share a tax...

Tip No. 3 Don't say your from England...we went for Poland but the choice is yours! And making up a fake language is a bonus :) From kandy we have now taken the train to Matara on the southern coast.

Tip No. 1. Never try to walk ANYWHERE in Dubai...you will cry and quite possibly die... What can I say about Dubai?! Well...as Rach said earlier 'they have a lot of rules here but it's pretty much a free-for-all'...We've had a really fun 2 days, but the weather has made it really hard to do loads! It's averaged around 37 degrees and about 35 in the evening...we even had to sit down in someones drive yesterday under a bush to cool down...classy! However, we have...

Only 4 days to go now until I set off for a few months travelling with my friend Rachel Irvin :) Just thought I'd write a little post before we set off...hope all my friends and family manage to read this at some point! And please send me as many messages as you can :) And I'll try to update this as much as I can! xxx
