Koh Samui today :)

"issa bwokun!"

I jumped off the top bunk in my hostel yesterday night and it hurt like a motherbitch but i was like whatever... anyway it was still hurting today so I went to one of the foot bone people who do foot massages and he was like "oh issa bwokun!". Broken big toe hurts but the guy told me if I just kept a bit of weight off it it would be fine in a week. Moral of the story is that you should not jump from the top bunk onto a concrete floor without proper foot attire.

Day 1

Bangkok is really different during the day, loads of cars and people with fried food stands and folex stands. Could'nt get to sleep yesterday, I dont know if it was the time difference or being really homesick. When it dawned on me that I was going to be away for 9 or 10 months I was going into shock and feeling a bit sick, thinking only of the worst. But I did finally start reading a book about Charlie Bronson's life in prison and watched a movie called pathfinder and that got me sleepy at about 2 in the morning. Going site seeing tomorrow and I'll get some video where ever I go.

Oh and the first breakfast of my trip was a ham and cheese sammy. And my eye is fine now.

and the blood vessels in my left eye popped a bit and my eye looks a bit mutanty. just thought my mom should know x

Arrival!

I got off the massive plane and I could see the rain drops on the windows. When I got off the bus at Lumpini Park I was like "whuuuut" because there was no sign for the hostel anywhere. I followed the map that I had marked with the location of the place and it was totally wrong so I was zigzagging around Bangkok for a good 2 hours before finding a hotel concierge who looked up the place and wrote down directions. Already met a guy who's going to be in Koh Tao the same time as me so I'm feeling pretty sure that I won't have any trouble getting buddys.

I'm super hungreh now so I'm heading to the streets for dinner.

So it begins!

Just about to go to sleep with my beautiful girlfriend before the big trip tomorrow. Can't wait for it. Just hoping that I can figure out all my E-Ticket crap because I really have no clue what the hell to do with all the papers I have with me :P

Next update will be from Thailand, see y'all later dawgz...

Tonight, two days before I'm supposed to be departing from Dubai; I can't sleep at all, I've been looking at hostels, reviewing my excel plan spreadsheets, trying to find a partner for when i go to thailand, applying for tons of jobs along the great barrier reef and watching stuff on youtube. I think the realization that I'm going away for 10 or so months has finally hit me and I'm all antsy like and can't lie still or anything.

I'm really looking forward to figuring out how to carry all my dough on me without looking like i'm wearing body armor or something but i'm sure i'll figure it out.

Aidan out, hugs and kisses to anyone special enough to be reading this :D
