Hello Bangkok! I have arrived!! We landed at around 9pm and soon realised that it was very different to China! I got a free visa instead of the steep £90 I paid to get into China for starters! As well as that, they understand what we say! There is a language barrier, no doubt about that, but it's just a lot less of a barrier than it was before! After waiting for the other girls we bartered with the taxi man and made our way to the hostel. As we only reserved a...

I WILL BE IN THAILAND TONIGHT. YES I WILL. AHHHH. So I had important business to sort today.. Or I needed to send a birthday card, a postcard and a few Christmas presents. Which you will all be devastated to know are for just myself!! Myself and Carrie decided to walk around the island one last time, which took 2 hours. This part of the day really wasn't exciting and I don't even know why I'm telling you guys?! Maybe when I read this back in 5 years I will wa...

It was very strange seei...

After saying goodbye to everyone it was just britpack that was left! It was sad to say goodbye but again, we knew we would be seeing each other in Koh Phangan so it was fine.. After we put our bags into our new rooms we decided to set out and make the most of the extra few days that we had in Hong Kong. We d...

So I think it's fair to say I have done my quota of sleeper trains in the last three weeks. As if to prove a point at how lucky us British lot are the train took 16 hours to arrive instead of the 13 it was due to take. However, who even cares when you are about to cross the border into Hong Kong!! So nothing else could go wrong because it's the last day of the trip. HA. obviously not because this is me and when does it ever go to plan? Soooo, I get out of mainl...
