Hizzle to the Kizzle

Well I made it through Hong Kong and now I'm sweating up a storm in Bangkok. I've got some happy snaps taken by yours truly to show off to the world. Regretably few instances of me standing in front of something with an awkward look on my face, they seemed to be a hit with you guys.

Formatting will not be an issue with this blog, I'm sure you can match the description to the picture.

a ? Kowloon at night. Straight off the plane from Perth I decided I could just leg it to the Hostel. I was all alone and the sity seemed to be getting darker and emptier. I kept my heading and came across the bright lights and general mayhem of Kowloon at 11:00 on a sunday night.

b ? My Hostel Room (Cell). Because of my supreme organisational skills I put my check in time at my hostel as 11 am and they had promptly cancelled my room. They called up their mates two doors down at chunking mansion and crammed me into a windowless 4 by 6 foot cell on the 17 floor of the building. There were piles of trash in the corner, large indian men harassing me on my way to bed and you had to get out at the 16th floor and walk up a flight of stairs to get there. The stairwell contained the worst smell I have ever smelled, like some one to bake a turd and vomit pie.

c ? One the alleys of Hong Kong. I forgot my camera when Pia showed me round some of Hong Kongs well know places so I snapped a picture of an alley on my trek to the airport. Hong Kong is basically a giant shopping mall connected to each other by interesting little alleys.

d ? The Wing. Because my work in laser based gold spectroscopy is so well regarded I was able fly business class from Hong Kong to Bangkok. Here I am kicking back with a beer in the pre flight lounge of Cathy Pacific. Free beer, wine, noodles, internet, ps3 and a miriad of people to service your every need. The actual business class flight wasn't so interesting, I slept straight though.

These are just a couple of pics from the trip so far. Tomorrow I fly out to Kathmandu and will probably be away from computers after a few days in Nepal. I'm looking forward to hitting the trail.
