Pack my stuff; it"s too cold to have a shower so I am done by 7.30. Breakfast is a banana pancake and tea, may I say the thickest pancake I have seen in my life. The minivan leave from right opposite my guesthouse so I do not have far to go and I manage ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=553059&go=pakinuttah Sat, 3 Jan 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=553055&go=pakinuttah Other then one pee run last night I slept right through it and wake up about 7.30. What"s the hurry? I ask myself. I"ve only got one thing to do today so try and get back to sleep, waking again at 8.30. Shower, get ready and do a bit or reading before I leave for breakfast, it"s a cold miserable overcast day, I"m hoping it will get better, it usually does around 11.00. I order ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=553055&go=pakinuttah Fri, 2 Jan 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=552970&go=pakinuttah As my alarm goes of at 7.00 my first thought is about you peeps back home. It"s midnight for you, so Happy New Year guys. While I get a shower and pack you lot are probably singing Auld Lang Syne. For a minute there I get a stab of loneliness going through my heart or maybe it"s just indigestion but right now I would love to be at home. Stick on the TV to watch BBC news broadcast New Ye... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=552970&go=pakinuttah Thu, 1 Jan 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=552949&go=pakinuttah Last day of the year. Where has it all gone? The alarm goes of at 7.00 but I stay in bed, finally getting up at 8.00 and grabbing a shower. Stick the TV on to watch BBC News and it"s all about the Gaza Strip and Hamaz. Why do I watch the news? It totally depresses me. Get ready and go check out the accommodation situation. There are some rooms available today but nothing under 30 dollars. May... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=552949&go=pakinuttah Wed, 31 Dec 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=552762&go=pakinuttah The alarm goes of at 7.00 and I don"t want to get out of bed, I"ve not had much sleep. I was up most of the night. I could stay another day but I know I will do nothing other than watch friends so drag myself up and get packed. Pay for 3 nights" accommodation and bike rental. All of SE Asia can not do mental arithmetical, 135 I say even before he has a chance to grab the calculator ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=552762&go=pakinuttah Tue, 30 Dec 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=552757&go=pakinuttah Wake up around 7.00 and try to get back to sleep before giving up and trying a bit of Reiki on myself. Then it"s a quick shower and of to get some breakfast, fruit muesli and yogurt at a local place as I dare not go into town, I"ll probably spend the whole day watching Friends again at a TV bar. By 10.30 I have hired a mountain bike or 15,000 and am on my way to Tham Phu Kham, on one o... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=552757&go=pakinuttah Mon, 29 Dec 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=552750&go=pakinuttah Wakeup at 7.00 and the pain is still there, cycling is definitely off the menu today :(. Now what? I just lie in bed feeling sorry for myself and then do some reading before putting my logical thoughts aside and trying a bit of Reiki. Part of me refuses to believe it works but there"s the part f me that is in pain that says give it a try, what do you have to lose? Either you look like a fool ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=552750&go=pakinuttah Sun, 28 Dec 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=552670&go=pakinuttah Wake up at 7.00 feeling very ropey, I"m so tired but I need to go to the toilet so out I head and thus start the troubles. Simon"s love is finally over and I don"t know if I should sit on the toilet or shove my head down it. It"s 50/50 as which side produces something first. I take the easy option and sit, vomit is easier to clean up I reason. I continue sitting for the next 20... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=552670&go=pakinuttah Sat, 27 Dec 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=552662&go=pakinuttah Oh that was the best nights sleep in ages; I didn"t wake up at all during the night. I wake up just after 7.00 and take a shower while Nicky packs. She leaves at 8.00 so she can get breakfast before her bus and I watch TV as the banks do not open until 8.30. On the way to the bank I do check out a few guesthouses and they all tell me to try again at 12.00 as there is nothing free but maybe so... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=552662&go=pakinuttah Fri, 26 Dec 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=552499&go=pakinuttah We pull into Vientiane bus station a little after 6.00 and I get my stuff together. I swear I am not going t do any more overnighters, they are a killer. Promptly get approached by drivers asking us for 70,000 to go into town. I know it"s about 9km away but 70,000? I think not, he goes down to 50,000 each before getting it that we are not going to pay him that sort of money. Outside we get a ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=552499&go=pakinuttah Thu, 25 Dec 2008 12:00:00 GMT
