"Krabi, Thailand" ?Posted by devon on Saturday, December 13, 2003
I'll let you know when I start travelling.
I mean, I'm moving phisically from place to place, but I thought "backpacking" was so much more than that.
It is I'm sure, a whole plethora of opportunities at your doorstep, waiting for you to happen upon them and have adventures.......
roooiiiiiigggghhhhhttt..
my life has been slightly different.
I felt like every time I got to port through the pacific, I had an impossible list of errands to run, which I would inevitably fail to complete, and then it was on to the middle of nowhere for 3 weeks where they didnt even have a concept of currency.
I thought this would end with asia. But since I've got here I've had a whole host of errands to run and I now THINK they are completed but whose really to tell. Its bloody frustrating. I seem to be behaving in a completely different way then everyone I meet. But I have a premonition that its over.......
annnny way. I have a few stories to tell.
The good news is that I now have some direction and know where I'm going
to go, the bad news is that I have to be back in Phuket in a week.
Ahhh... root canals in paradise, There is no better way to spend your
holiday.
There is something about having the most inner regions of your mouth
being poked, proded and molested by sharp instruments and drills while
the smell of burning enamel floats lazily up into your senses that is
just so...... so... so....
wrong.
Alright, I refused to get a hollow tooth fixed while I could, prolonging
and subsequently exacerbating the inevitable. But who wants to
intentionally put themselves through pain. Unless something hurts, there
is no immediate purpose to getting it fixed, and procrastination is
easy. When it hurts, then you go get it fixed.
ok fine I admit I have no excuse.
I'm a failure as a human being.
and I paid for it, financially and physically.
My time in thailand so far has been completely manic.
After my arrival on the Sailing Yacht : Condesa that I have been with sice Darwin, I stayed in the (from what I had heard) ultra trendy beach resort of "kata beach". So in this case, and I have a feeling this is also true in other regions of thailand read "ultra trendy beach resort" as "my worst nightmare".
But as I had "business" (another serious nightmare: bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz) to take care of, I had to be there. And i shockingly found out that I had to be BACK there in what is now a few days.
What did I do with my time there.
I walked around.
Yes thats right. I have no friends, I have no companions. I talked to no-one but the intrusive nepalese suit salesmen that jump down your throat at any opportunity. But one thing of note, actually a few things of notable noteriety happened, but I'm just going to tell you one for now.
I had gotten used to the harrassment that follows around any young white male here.
... ok hang on a second here,
stop the train.......
let me level with you.
I'm exausted.
I've travelled nearly 3000 ks over the last two days, stressed myself out beyond what I thought was possible and ate twice in a 60 hour period.
and now i"m drunk tired and I want to go to bed.
So I'll continue this later.
bye
