It's been a while....

Hello!

Well it's been a long time since I updated this old thing but hey, better late than never I suppose...

Since my last update, I've managed to cross a few countries, a continent, find work, become a rescue scuba diver and start saving for the big trip round Oz...

I'm now living in Sydney with my Brothers and I've one last week of my contract then I finish work and can get back to what I love - travelling around meeting new peeps!!

I lived for 2 months in Thailand from Oct till the end of Nov living on one beach (Had Yao) in Koh Phangan, met some really cool people - Vic, Kim, Philo and of course the Rasta boys! I completed my rescue diver cert and basically chilled the hell out for a bit. I got to the point where I didn't really want to travel around anymore (yes it's fun but tiring) and after meeting my mate Robio and being introduced to the Lotus Diving crew decided I would rent a house near the beach (100 a month - bargain!!) and kick back and enjoy myself by doing well not very much apart from drinking a fair amount, playing loads of Frisbee, diving, eating good food and well thats about it really!

I haven't really got much to report in the way of stories but I'm sure they will come very soon when I get back on the road...

Sydney has been a great place to live and work! I've been to the cricket a few times (if you get the chance then go as it's a great day out even if you don't like cricket!!), 'The Big Day Out' festival (very messy - email me for details!), Carl Cox harbour party under the Harbour Bridge on New Year (cheers Robio for sorting out guest list to possibly one of the best NY bashes I have been to!) and a few other bits and bobs but other than that not a great deal as been saving up for my trip!

Anyway sorry I've been a bit slack with the emails etc but hopefully that will change very soon...

Hope everyone is all good and well and let me know what you've been up to!

Richard
