... and helpless. I spent the next day doing very small circles, and went to the pharmacy where the nice lady declared that I ‘looked bad,’ and as usual here handed me a handful of paracetamol, which apparently fixes everything.

... First wine I've drunk for 4 months. I'm not a big drinker, but I really enjoyed it. Sat outside the bungalow and enjoyed a good bottle of plonk listening to the waves hitting the beach. Day 100 - 01/06/08 Today is my 100th day in Asia. Asia has been pretty rough to me so far, but I've thoroughly enjoyed my time here. No pain no gain hey!

... me .We saw the big Buddha, the lucky Buddha, which is only open to tourist once a year and it so happened that , that day was Sunday. The lucky Buddha is 750 years old. Many Thai people get married at the temple where the lucky Buddha is. We also saw the old temple and the golden mountain. Monday Katie left to Chaing Mai . She decided that she was going to try and work there cause she did not want to work in Bangkok. I was on my quest to find a job Dave said ...
