Since I last talked, I have done about 10 flights. This travelling malarkey is quite hard work, but some of the things I have seen you would not believe...
Been around Melbourne, Australia, Been all over New Zealand - Mount Cook was the highlight. Absolutely great place New Zealand. Very cheap and friendly and beautiful - apart from Christchurch which was very much like England. Needless to say I did not like Christchurch.
Singapore was great. So much so I am flying back there tomorrow for an extra trip. I think it's my favourite place in the world right now.
Vietnam was a big culture shock. My travel comapanion Lee departed Singapore a week early to be with his girlfriend in Thailand - leaving me to explore Vietnam on my own. The first thing you notice is the traffic in Saigon. Crossing the road is a true 50/50 live or die situation. It's 99percent motorbikes - no one wears crash helmets, and there is usually about three or four people to a bike. Took me a while to get used to it but now I can get about like the locals :)
I managed to single handedly wreck my hotel room in Saigon. I could not get any hot water in my shower so I punched the wall as you do. I broke a tile and ruptured the water pipe - causing a torrent of water to fly out of the wall at an alarming volume. By the time I located the main water tap and turned off the water, the place was pretty flooded. I did what any person would in this situation. I did a runner. Escaped on the back of a motorbike without paying hehe. I hope they don't catch up to me.
I also visited Nha Trang and Hanoi in Vietnam - Nha Trang was very touristy. I stayed in a island called Vinpearl island. I managed to kick everyones ass at water soccer and water volleyball - even the aussies!
Hanoi was also great - pretty much like Saigon. Loads of shops and markets. Found loads of cheap Hong Kong movies. I got about 20 titles for about 3 quid. You can get anything you want there - no questions asked.
Vietnam is the cheapest place I have ever been. I beer will set you back about 40p. A meal about a quid. And it's so friendly ;) I already miss it.
Currently in Thailand hanging out with Lee and his girlfriend. Only six days left :(
I had better end here - going to go and explore the Thai nightlife :)

explore the thai nightlife, and the thai hookers
I imagine you are much better than a Thai hooker Christina. Do you have a penis?
No, I do not have a penis. And just when I start to develop a case of penis envy, some guy has to tell me about his jock itch. And blue balls.
themysteriousninja has titanium testicles.
I've heard of buns of steele, but balls of steele, is this a new fad?
