BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER.

this is the beautiful view from my hotel window.

that huge train thing is reall high in the sky and runs through tthe whole city like a giant monorail.

well.
today did not go quite as i had planned.
last night i went to explore the market shops that pop up on the side of the streets at night, and i stumbled across an ausie bar- (they sell VB and show austrailan sport. so now i CAN watch the swannies and the dragons win!)
When i had breakfast i saw you can have a singa beer for 30B (ie- $1 dollar)
and when ever i was thirsty i went to a 7-11 and saw beer for 30B and thought.... why not?
this as you can imagine set the tone for the day.
later on in the night i thought i would go and see the equalivant of the oxford hotel i was working at in sydney, then while i meandering through the bars grinning from ear to ear because i am still abit blown away by it all when i hear " Hey OWEN!! Come here!"

i spin around and it was Stu, one of the regulars from the Oxford!


it was so great to see and hear an australian accent and be drinking with someone i knew.
we couldn't believe that we had only seen each other a few days ago.
so we had a few brews, then a few more.

and then a few more.

then we started drinking kamakze JUGS.
first a red one.
then a blue one.
then a green one.

i think it is safe to say you all know what happened next.

i was throwing up in the toilets.
then in the street.

how embarrasing.
i went to cover my mouth while this was happening and stu said "owen- just let it out mate. where in bangkok. there is spew everywhere here." , which i guess is true.

luckily stu took me back to my hotel and i have spent the whole day in bed.
i only got up now at about 4pm.
i couldnt get a refund on my ticket to my floating markets tour and stuff but it will still be here tommorow.

i am going to try and book my ticket to Ko Somiu today.

i think it is time i saw the beach.

hoping everone is well and keep the emails coming in- its great to read them.

Oh. BTW

here is my thai number if you wanna text me or ring mw on 6614467361
