SCREW YOU DAD, IM GOING TO JOIN THE CIRCUS...................









well as i am sure i have said previously, i see something that spins me out everyday.

today i went to the airport to try and sort out this luggage stuff. (more on that in a minute)

i was in a taxi when the driver started saying "trunk! trunk!" , and i was thinking what you'd expect i was.... "what is he going on about....'
then ofcourse i see a baby elephant on the back of a ute, speeding down the highway.

now shit me you sure dont dont see that everyday!

on a side note- we were doing 130/km weaving and zigg zagging through the traffic when i saw a speed sign that said 8o/km and i was like "slow slow!" and the driver didnt understand why i was worried. i made hand actions and said "it makes my heart go BUMP BUMp BUMP! too fast!" then he understood and apologised. the thai are really friendly people.

he drove very carefully after that.

so back to my over luggage deliemma. it seems that it will cost me about $188. to send a 10kilo suitcase as unattended baggage. so all i have to do is' weigh' up wether i can fit more than $188 worth of luggage in that extra suitcase. judgeing by how cheap clothes are here, im thinking yes. the big thing is they charge you about $100 to send anything as unattended baggage. so really after that intial fee it is cheap. that is, if you are sending a heap of stuff. but not the case if you are only sending a little bit.

i was thinking of ( well i will be doing this) wearing as many items of clothing as i can. i will put on ten shirts and three jeans and two jackets. i will probably freak out the other passengers and i imagine definitly attract hte attion of security but as long as i dont have to throw anything out its all good. i will be there for 12 months so i think i should take as much as possible.

i am heading off to the huge markets that they have here in bangkok tommorow to try and get me some bargains.

hope you all well.
