Mate, can't believe you left Sage, thought you were a lifer for sure!

Anyway, great to see you've decided to travel and ride out the recession doing something fun and exciting. In a similar vein Ive just done a teaching qualification and been offered some jobs in Thailand, waiting for a start date but should be there by June so if you're passing through Bangkok anytime just let me know, u can get me on the same email as before or via FB.

cheers Andy

The fun will be trying the drill bit trick on the next leg. Did you get the messages from my colleagues in China? They had some good contact names for you if you want me to send them on by mail or post them here. Come on Stoke!

Hello!! I emailed you at Sage and did not get a reply so thought you might have left. nice one for going travelling. I have just got back from 3 weeks in Thailand....and hopefully off to South America in Jan 10. So where else you heading to? Never to been to SF but would love to go. Keep us posted and have fun!

Good drill bit skills! I once turned up at Newcastle airport to be relieved at customs of my key-ring Swiss Army penknife, only for the Spanish customs officer to find a full size Swiss Army penknife in my hand luggage on my return trip! This was completely missed in Newcastle and I had absolutely no idea it was in my backpack. Doofus!

Anyway, have a great time mate.

Hi John,

Sounds like you're having fun! If you're back in the UK in August, we'll be driving through Newcastle mid-August (and maybe the end of August too). Shall we meet up?

Enjoy the rest of the trip - where exactly are you travelling?

All the best,

Adam
