Good man on the Scuba - I have my Advanced as well but knowing you, you are far better than me!

Your trip sounds amazing - so many places on my hit list of "must visits" You looking forward to Aus? I'm looking forwad to hearing what you think of it- best place in the world IMHO! Catchalater

Well hello there fellow travellers! hope you are both coping without our amazing and sparkling company!! sur eyou are. well we made it to Vietnam in one piece on the 'Party Bus'. It actually wasn't that bad, not the most comfortable way to spend 24 hours but hey ho! we took about 4 hours of it at the boarder waiting for it to open so that killed some time at 4 in the morning! And you will be pleased to know that we have thrown ourselves into this travelling malarkywhole heartedly and done loads today, our first day including Ho chi minh plaza thing with pagodas, walking for hours on the scariest roads ever!, prison museum and then just got back from night out at the circus! Are you proud?? Anyway hope your trip to thailand went well and your having fun. just wondered if you could let us know where the babies in jars are kept, we can't seem to find them?!?!? and wheres all the food!??!?!!??! we haven't eaten all day!!!! and did tuk tuk drivers hit you casue i have been hit twice and feeling slightly vunerable!? anyway speak to you soon luv, take care, keep up the guitar playing matthew alexander cook, jack johnson look out.

Hi de ho neighbours, cheers for posting your messages. BRIAN... glad to hear that everything is going well in spain, hope we can come out next year. WATTY.... cheers for the update on the cheap dvds, i've been well gutted that i didn't buy any in vietnam (only $1) so it sounds similar in KL. I'm gonna update the site now with some pictures and stuff so speak soon.

Hi Nic and Matt,
I,ve not checked your board for a while and i cant believe how much youve done since i last looked. Thailand is great and i knew you would like it. Me and Anne did a lot of the same stuff. Ko San Road, big golden buddha, temples, pat pong etc. Are you gonna head down into south thailand to more beaches or are you heading off to oz next.
I would love to have wound the kid up who still has 38 years left in the bangkok hilton.
Those wax tigers you were stroking looked so real. You cant tell the difference.
Although i am here living in Spain me and Anne are still dead jealous of the stuff you are doing and seeing. Are you still living on 3 quid a day?.
Business is booming in Beni and we have loads of stagand hen groups coming out.
Anyway off to the beach. Happy travelling.

Alright geezers!!!!!!!!!!

Great to see you are both still having the BEST time!!! - We are currently in OZ 'again' LOVING IT - just left kuala Lumpur after eating nothing but noodles (and frog/cat/dog/etc) all tastes like chicken so who gives a F***. apart from getting a nice bowl of noodles with little frog carcases in it (ill send a pic V/GROSS but perciviered as food is food and dont want to upset the locals!!!)

We have another month to go (Looking for houses) then back to Kuala lumpur on our way home (DVDs at 50p each) be back in the UK soon - good to see the site getting back to travels and well wishers (although the banter was funny!!)

also hi to all in the UK - including matts mom n dad and grandparents - love to all!!!!!!!!

Paul n arlene!!!!!!!!!

OI oi savaloys. Still havign a great time, cheers for updating the message board, obviously my mates update it but it's mainly pretending to be someone else and admitting to having certain fettishes (fair enough, got to say i've done it loads too). Have just got back from trecking (again) and it was v hard work, pretty cool though. Joe's electrical tape came in very handy for blisters. SHELLZ, glad things are going well for you, make sure you mail david and adil (otherwise you smell and no one wants that). KJ if i see any anima cooked (other than the norm, so i'm looking for dogs, cats cockroaches etc) i will make sure i get a photo and post it up, as for the gestapo police LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION...PEARCEY managed to lose nearly 9lb on the treck so beat that (mind you it's just trying to get me back to being slim again concidering my chubbiness). ADIL... it would be great to meet up with you when i get back, perhaps if we arrange it now there may be a slim chance of actually doing it. We're having a party on the 27th of Jan (off for a curry), i'll get the tennants to set up the spare room for you (no excuses). If i've not replied to you then soz, i'll mail you soon

matt
