After spending a day at the cricket and getting sunburnt I left Brisbane, a train to the Gold Coast and a night stop over before my flight to Kuala Lumpur. I spent an hour wandering around looking for a bed with the world's heaviest rucksack before finally finding a hostel next to the airport. All other accommodation I'd found was expensive beach side villas, but next time I would pay the money and stay there, the hostel was horrendous, I think my one night's stay in there made me ill. Hoever it was close to the airport (as in you can see the runway through the window) so it was an easy flight out in the morning.
I got to KL, watched Villa draw with Man Utd in a sports bar, found a downtrodden hotel called The Emerald, which compared to the hostel seemed like The Hilton. It turned out that hostel was in a place called Sun Plaza which is around the corner from Times Square, the main shopping centre in the city, it even has an indoor theme park! I went up the Petronas twin towers, which were at one point the tallest buildings on the planet, but after 3 days I'd had enough, it was time to head north to Thailand. All I'd heard about KL was that it was a place to stop over, no more then a couple of days, and that proved right.
I flew to Phuket Thailand from KL (the airport is nowhere near KL by the way! it's a one hour coach, I recommend the air-bus operated by air asia) and spent 5 days chilling out on Patonga beach. Met some cool Aussies from Perth, who I'd like to meet again once I return to Oz. From there I headed up to Ko Samui, where I met my Dad for a night, we're heading out of Bangkok next week so a meet up was inevitable. We spent a night at an Irish bar watching a live band that were pretty sensational. Sensational enough to make me want to get my guitar out of the loft once I get home.
I'm now in Ko phangan, the full moon island again, meeting up with old pals before getting the bus from hell up to BKK on Monday. I fly home on Wednesday, the plane lands a week next sunday or something, and I'll do the x-mas new year thing with my family aaaaahhhhh...
I'm also going to try and get some writing done, and dust of the old guitars whilst getting to as many villa games as possible.
Keep on trucking!
