Hay Everyone,

So where do i begin....

The plane ride from Gold Coast to Kuala Lumpur was okay. I got the front row which gave me plenty of leg room. It was also fairly empty so I could spread out and take up 3 seats. There was a middle aged Indian woman who was sitting in the same row as me and kept looking at me and smiling. After about 1 hour of this she came and sat next to me and started with her whole life story. Eventually she was showing me pictures of her 18 year old daughter who lives in Chennai and asking if I would want to take her back to Australia with me. She even offered to pay for her flights which was a nice gesture, but I had to decline the offer becuase she was ugly.I met a few other Australians who were flying onto Laos and had a few beers with them after the trip. I stayed across the road from the airport at a place called Tune Hotel. It was the smallest room I have ever seen in my life.It was oaky for 1 night though.

This morning I got up at 4:00am to walk to the airport and get the plane to Colombo, Sri Lanka. I met a guy on the plane named Loxly who runs tours in Sri Lanka from his home in Melbourne. He also owns a night club in Colombo and wants me to be a d.j at his club for the night I am staying Kuala Lumpur. Not too sure what to think of this...but he said if an Aussie or a European is D.Jing in the club he pulls in a good crowd. I told him I have never done this before but appantley all I need to do is choose a few songs and "mingle". We'll see what happens. (Becker - my extreme act you asked me to carry out will be D.Jing at a Kuala Lumpur nightclub).

I arrived in Colombo and met my driver named Myzan. I was unaware when I got to Colombo that they have had the most rain seen in 50 years and the city is flooded. It took about 2 hours to get out of Colombo itself.The car drive was scary to say the least. Myzan drove at brake-neck speeds on the wrong side of the rode whilst constantly on the horn. Even if there was no cars around... he loved to beep. Anytime he passed a lady, he beeped. Everytime he passed a dog, he beeped. At one point he clipped a pedestrian with his mirror and kept on driving like it was a normal thing to do. Didnt even check his mirrors to see if the guy was okay. We also came around a corner on a remote road to lock-up the brakes becuase of a wild elephant sitting in the middle of the road. Myzan beeped at the elephant (as if it was a normal occurance), the elephant got up slowly and walked off without even looking in our direction. It took 10 hours or awkward driving to reach Arugam Bay. I checked into my Cabana which is unreal. It sits on the sand dunes, is double story with bed upstairs and hammock downstairs. It also has a trap-door and firemans pole leading to a toilet and shower which has no roof. I chucked my bags in the room and went for a quick surf out the front of the Cabana. The surf was pretty good. Only about 2 feet but clean. Water is really warm. After the surf I got speaking to some british tourists and will probably have a drink with them tonight. Sri Lanka is really cool. It feels completely different to no place I have ever been. All of the people stare a lot. Not too sure if its becuase they dont see many tourists out this way, might just be the culture. The wildlife is unreal. Already seen about 10 wild elephannts and a crocodile.

I hope everything is going well at home.

Scoogle - Hows lifeline?
