Sydney


Day: 272
Location: YHA Hostel (Central Station)
Temp: 34

After some hell-raising with my good old mate, Mick Cluskey, I now find myself in Sydney. It's hot here. Very hot.

Tonight i go with a Japanese boxer, called Rocky, for a meal on the harbour. I'm going to get my 2nd Japanese lesson. Always fun trying to communicate with someone from the other side of the globe with a few clicks, winks ans arm swings.

Becuase of the potential situation with booked flights of not getting to Thailand for New Years Eve i had to make a tough decision to knock New Caledonia and the biggest Lagoon in the world on its head. It will have to be done another time. So much for practicing my French which i've been learning with the help of my new mini Ipod (a God sent for any vagabond).

As it stands i fly on the 24th of December. I stay in Thailand until the 28th Jan. I'm planning to take in the islands a week in the north, a week in Laos and a few days in Cambodia to check out the temples. On the 28th i make my way to Hong Kong to do some gambling ni Macaw and practice the Portugese again. From there one more day in Bangkok and then 2 weeks in Sri Lanka and a month in India.

I'd imagine the Christmas festivities are well and truely on the way. Same on this side of the world. Only difference being Santa has a barby, puts factor 60 on the snowmens' noses and Rudolf is wearing Speedos.
