Some of you may of laughed at my last few posts about how so undoubtably alien I have felt in this country over the last week and rightly so. We should learn to laugh at the things that happen to us in life and if I amused you then that makes me happy, maybe there… Continue reading Communication issues in Japenglish

Pride in the hills
I’ve had a really interesting few days. The mosquito’s have organised themselves and managed to form a message in braille which I think reads “Your blood is ours” but I may of mis-translated that, it could read “Welcome to Pai”. In the tourist books Pai is touted as a bit of a hippy commune and… Continue reading Pride in the hills
Be yourself, you’re beautiful
I find it very odd some of us try to alter our bodies to be like others. In the UK people tend to put fake tan on using a trowel trying to make our bodies look that fake sort of orange colour because those people believe that they look healthier or something to that effect.… Continue reading Be yourself, you’re beautiful
Why I write
Why would anyone want to open themselves to the entire world or the internets as it is more commonly known. Let’s start at the beginning. I started writing a diary a long time ago, I have kept one since I was about fifteen and it was for me an outlet that I didn’t realise I… Continue reading Why I write
Excess Baggage
I have tried to write this piece a few times but it has never felt right but this time it has made it past the editor (me). When I checked my baggage into T1 Sydney Airport on 10th June for my flight to Thailand I was surprised that it only weighed around 16kg and taking… Continue reading Excess Baggage
Inside a depressive head
I say that I am happy with my own company and this is true like 80% of the time but I have lately wanted to see a familiar face and just be with them for a while. I know I took this trip on alone and I never for one moment thought I would meet… Continue reading Inside a depressive head
My last job, a breakdown
I wanted to get down at some point on this trip what I think went wrong with my at least my last permanent positions and how I have begun to feel about it. The last two permanent jobs I have had have been quite destructive at times for me, mostly because I get so involved… Continue reading My last job, a breakdown
Letting others disturb me
I mentioned a while ago how during one night under the influence of lack of sleep and alcohol I had a bit of a conflict with an Australian traveller. I think I mentioned that it worried me a little that this person was able to get to me and I put the whole thing down… Continue reading Letting others disturb me
Performance
Something you may or not know about me is back in school I took Drama as one of my options for GCSE grade. I remember very distinctly really enjoying the creative process, both imagining stories and performing them. I also remember being teased about this by the bullies in school. During part of my GCSE… Continue reading Performance
A pat on the back
I have over the last few days I have taken time to take stock of what I have done so far and what I have ahead of me. I have only been away for six weeks but that in itself is an achievement, in the trip so far I have not really done anything superhuman… Continue reading A pat on the back
