I arrived in Darwin at 4am yesterday morning. It’s a small airport but I decided to wait around there until it was light.
I’m staying in the backpacker area of Darwin and it was quite a culture shock after Asia to see the load music and heavy drinking. Haven’t really settled in and not sure if [...]

Blah blah blah
Waiting for a flight that leaves in 1 hour (21:45 singapore time) and arrives 04:00 Darwin time. But it’s only a 4 hour flight…
Not much sleep tonight. Maybe I’ll sleep at the airport…

“… WARNING: Death for drug traffickers under Singapore law”, read the landing card I was handed on the aircraft. Fortunately, I got in with my 200 paracetamol OK. Yes, boots in Thailand still sells bulk paracetamol. Hurray. I’ve got a really bad sore throat.

Will try to post some pictures. It [...]

Due to a fallingout filling problem I’ve decided to go back to Bangkok, get my tooth repaired then do some kind of short trip from there next week. Unfortunately that means I will miss the Khao Sok national park, historic cities etc. round here. But I’d rather get my tooth fixed before it starts to [...]

OK I’ve found somewhere with 1 B/m internet… Slightly old computers, but…
Today I am in a bad mood. Like Mamallapuram, I can’t go anywhere without people hassling me. Here it’s not sculptors, but tailors who try to get you to go into their shops. Mind you the one at the entrance to my accomodation has [...]
