Hi Everyone! Hope everybody is ok. I'm having a great time here after the initial shock of getting here and being sent to the wrong hotel and realising that I forgot to take the iPOD off charge. I think that if facing the 3 months with no music is the most daunting thing to me right now, then I'm doing ok! I spent the 13 hour flight to Singapore feeling really out of sorts. I wasn't upset or panicking or frightened - I just had this feeling of unease. I was so tense I felt like I was being stretched inside out but then I had some food and a glass of wine and watched "Chicken Run" the movie and I felt ok. Spent the 2 hour flight to Bangkok asleep - one of the flight crew had to fasten my seat-belt for me cos I fell asleep way before take-off! You've already heard about my trauma with the airport transfer. So I got here, got sorted and came down to the hotel ba where I met some Canadian people and we drank some beers and then went out to a street seller for food. We wandered around the markets and then my jet-lag kicked in and so I went to bed. We got a tuk-tuk to Bangkok Zoo Yesterday and just pottered about in the evening. I've decided I'm going to stay in this hotel until I begin my trip on the 4th February. It's nice and clean and in the middle of everywhere so it suits me fine. My trip is 8 days long and takes me out to Khoa Sok National Park, Jungles in southern Thailand and the coast of Krabi. I've got a couple of days to kill then until I fly to Malaysia so you'll hear from me then. See you soon! PS - Thanks to anyone that posted messages to me - except the guy that asked for porn.
