Well, me and Skippy are off to SE Asia tomorrow. The time is finally here! First stop is Bangkok for a night, then Laos, then Vietnam, then Cambodia, then Thailand. Look out for any updates on facebook (if i manage to find some time!).

I get back on January 6.

Its been a great year Hopefully next can top it. Highlight of the year was definitely working/etc in Hong Kong for 3 months.

Hope you all have a merry xmas and a happy new year!

cheers,

I’m in melbourne for work at the moment, and walking home from dinner tonight I came across a crazy street performer dressed like a space man. He has these crazy lights and sound devices all over him.

Hard to explain, but it was awesome enough for me to pimp him on my website! Heres his site: www.sonicmanipulator.com.

For those who didnt know, the new Radiohead album is out.

The interesting thing is, the only way to get it is to download it from their website. The thing that is even more interesting, is that you can pay what you think it is worth! I just paid 0.0 pounds for it. I know that is cheap, but I thought I would see if I could get away with it and I did.

An interesting way to make money!

I just happened to read this article. Its a really quick read, but I was really surprised by some of the points… Such as that mobile phone chargers plugged into the wall still draw power, even if the mobile isn’t plugged in!

Jeez there is alot to do in New Zealand! The more time I spend here the more I realise there is to do! The weekend just been we have:

• Been to Waiheke Island and drove all around
• Been to Lake Rotorua which is an active thermal volcano area
• Swum in natural thermal hot springs which made my silver jewelery go brown
• Been Zorbing: Roll down the hill in giant plastic ball filled with water
• Been to Waitomo caves to see the glowworms
• Black-water rafting and caving in Waitomo caves, sometimes with only the glow-worms light to guide us

And there is so much more to do! Apparently there is even more on the south island too. I think I will come back one day.

On Thursday night I started a Yoga beginners course at 8-Limbs Ashtanga Yoga in Vic Park. First up we learned the way to breathe in yoga. Then we learned the Salutation to the sun. The course goes for 7 weeks and it looks like its gonna be fun!

Finally we have some xmas / new years accommodation booked on the Thailand southern islands. We’re staying at Dew Shore Bungalows on Ko Phangan for full moon party/xmas/boxing day. Then we’re staying at Baan Talay Resort on Ko Samui for New Years. Can’t wait! Anyone who’s up for Thailand around that time, please get your ass over there! The party will be bitchin!

We (me, skippy, and wados) are going to SE asia in december. We’re planning to go to Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. Should be awesome.

We are using my own CMS and google calendar to plan the trip.

See the CMS and details here and see the google calendar one using this link

Can’t wait!
