The day today

Protection from 'death by mosquito' - £80 !!!!!
2x stickers in my passport - £113 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Super Towel that absorbs 8x more - £35
Walking shoes (that broke on the first day) - £70

Realising the day before I leave that I have no foreign money, don't know what time or where my flight is from, the mosquito net's full of holes and that I left my credit card on a tab at the bar last night - Priceless

My heart's beating like a f****d clock and I'm desperate for food and sleep. And I haven't even left yet.

Well assuming I make it to the airport tomorrow here's the plan:

I wake up at 8 so that my mother can check her list of things she's sure I need (don't worry mum, syringes are in the bag) and ensure that I get to the airport a minimum of 4 hours before the flight takes off. Hopefully I can go to sleep for the first time in god knows how long without a belly full of booze and wake up revived and refreshed in Beijing.

Then this happens:

So 13th - 2nd Aug I DO China ending up in Hong Kong where I'm on my own for a few days. Meeting Debs in Hanoi on 7th - I think - right Debs? I really should have booked a flight. 7th-23rd D + I paint Vietnam red and then go to mingle with the ladyboys in Thailand till 8th.

After that I'm available for a 2.5 week party before Bartlett drags me kicking and screaming back to the drawing board. Put me down as a yes for all invites!

Well I'll miss you while I'm out there! For a day or 2!

Yippee Ki-Yay Mofo Let's go
