I'm Always Travellin'...

Khao San Road, Bangkok, Thailand

Oh yes my friends, we're back and here to stay. We've travelled on our last bus, journeyed between our last towns, and no longer have to search around a city to find what we're looking for. We know exactly where everything is here on the Khao San, and it's here that we stay until we go back to Oz.

Pattaya was a big gold coast-y porno (and I mean PORNO) city full of old geezers and their Thai bitches, so we didn't like it all that much. It was an experience, to be sure, but we thought we'd come back to Bangkok and spend one last night and day with our two girls, Jess and Alli. We've just seen them off to the airport, so they'll probably read this when they get home. Suckers!!!

We got ridiculously drunk (again) as a send off to the two girls last night. Met a few German dudes, a South African Indian stockbroker who I chatted to for about an hour about his job, how he knows what to do, tips on stocks, things like that. You never know when the info could come in handy!

After that we ended up at a rooftop bar where I bought an apple shisha (it's a hookah that uses flavoured blocks of tobacco to give the smoke a taste) and really enjoyed that. There's a place in West End where you can smoke shishas/hookahs, so I might pop in there one day when we get back.
Speaking of that place (both places that is, the rooftop bar and the Brisvegas shisha bar), I got to chatting to five Brits out on a gap year holiday who arrive in Oz in March for a few months. Gonna give them all the hot tip on places to see and do in Brisbane and up north a bit, might even hang with them when they get in. Who knows?

Anyway, at this point I'd been drinking solidly since 4pm and it was now 1am. I was absolutely shitcanned, so I called it a night and stumbled back to the hotel where I promptly passed out. Or, as I like to now refer to it, I embraced the blackness. Has a poetic ring to it, dontcha think?

Tomorrow we're going to go visit Dreamworld, the Thai version of a theme park. Should be cool! My folks rock back into Bangkok tomorrow as well, so we'll meet up with them at some point for dinner or something.

Ya'll better be preparing thyselves for our return. So far, we have our landing day covered as a day to spend with the gang, then the next night we're at the RE Toga party, the next day/night we're going to Sexpo, the NEXT day/night is the pool party, and finally the Sunday is another housewarming/pool party for Alli's new house.

And the day after that, I go back to uni. I don't think the drinking will ever end!

Ran into this on Youtube as well. Goddamn homesick crap. Who invented homesickness? I'm gonna kick em square in the nuts, seriously.
