Hey Everyone! Just a quick update as I don't think I'll be doing much updating in the next 3 weeks as I have a JOB!! Well, at least I do for the next 3 weeks, lol. I'm moving out of my hostel Tuesday and into a flat. Its a small one bed apartment with 5 girls sharing. I know it sound crazy when you read it like that but there are 3 girls in the master bedroom & 2 in the lounge, which is an 'L' shape. Its about the same amount of space I get in the hostel, b...

Well I managed to do something slightly cultural and went to watch the sun set over Sydney Opera House and to see the giant bats fly out of the Royal Botanical Gardens as darkness took hold. The bats are enormous - like the size of house cats or small-ish dogs. About 100 of them just swooped out and over the quay. We went out for Claire's 25th - although to be fair, we only really stay in once a week anyway! We did dress up nicely though, no flip-flops or shorts...

I haven't done anything cultural yet, although I am hoping to go to The Blue Mountains this weekend. Had a massive St Paddy's night out yesterday. Got ...

After that little faux pas, I was pointed in the right direction by the very nice Canadian couple (shame about that, he was pretty cute). I got the Sky-train into S...

Arrived into Bangkok's new airport (BKK) approx 3.50pm my time, which is only 5 minutes later than expected, which is pretty darn good as my plane was an hour late taking off. The heat just took my breath away. 34 degrees at 4pm! Got through passport control and all that ok (didn't get hauled over for drug smuggling or owt, so they must have been genuine bags of sugar that the odd looking complete stranger gave me... gotcha! I had someone at the airport take m...
