Hi Jamie. From the fotogs it looks as though you are having a grrrreat time! Am green with envy, as it has been dropping to -7 and -9 deg C at night in our part of Sussex (and even -5 in Bognor!) Kieran sends you his greetings - but is a bit puzzled why you are not in New Zealand (he's been telling everybody about your trip). Look forward to following your progress. All the best..................

Hello my sweet chinchilla,

Firstly, i'm absolutely loving your blogs, informative and thrilling! I know exactly what its like to want to write everything.....embrace.

Firstly, i'm glad to see you are alive. Had a horrifying moment whilst reading the paper on 02/01/09 detailing 61 deaths in a Bangkok nightclub! Fortunately, i checked your site and realised you were nowhere near Bangkok on NYE. Few. I didn't want to loose my boy blue.

You seem to be enjoying your trip. I'm glad. And reading too! Surely not. Is a book called 'First they killed my father'? Its a great read but really sad.

I must admit i'm very jealous reading your posting, it brings it all back to me. Everyone always has trouble getting VISA's, they always try and rip you off. As for the sore bottom, you won't complain about the road system in the UK when you get back!

Enjoy Vietnam, it will be sick. Ho Chi Min City rocks as does Vietnam. The best thing about Nam is that no-one really knows what its like....... coz they weren't there man!!!

Lastly, i'm loving the reference to the tricep, you're ripped but clearly nowhere near as ripped as i am! Clearly the chat up lines aren't working over SE Asia, you're visiting Brothels already.

I miss you already. Have fun. Love sparx x x x x x x x x x x x x xx x x

Hey Rich, looks like your having an awesome time and your cramming in loads of stuff! Possibly hitting good old shieks after our match on sat you will be missed but will try and pull out a lunge or two in your name!
