The monks are a particularly tough one, aren’t they, Ally? I believe we ladies aren’t supposed to even touch them. Though quite how we do that on a crowded bus I know not.

And, yes, there’s nothing so nu-Hollywood as vomit!

I keep meaning to try dog, as a matter of fact. Yet every time I pass a place selling it, I think, “Maybe another day…”

I think to it means:
– Holding my best friend hair on the side of the road while she throws up for the third time on a 14hours visa trip to Malaysia while 10 angry backpackers are looking right at you in the heat because of course the A/C is broken.
-It means being offered delicious dishes in a village in Vietnam that they could not find the english word for, until a wandering dog pass along and they go: Yes Yes Woaf
-Trying not to fall on a monk in a crowded bus while balancing yourself on one foot because there is a whole on the floor of the bus where your second foot is supposed to stand. And not to forget that you are still holding onto your backpack. And that for 3 hours.

Just like an A lister life in Hollywood really.

Quite funny at the time, in parts. Shortly after Z puked for the first time the bus stopped as there was a waterfall running across the road on a tight corner. Then they put the KTV video on with the man with the moustache. It was a “laugh or cry” moment…

It was only Myanmar where visas have proved difficult: I’ve written journalism, which they didn’t like at all, so we never went. The red coloured background was required by one specific Indonesian consulate, so we decided to go for a different one…

Thank you for your kind words. There’s one more pink eye update incoming and then I will switch to more, err, edifying topics…

Jesus. That is a hell of a lot worse than doing the odd bit of washing from a well… Looking forward to more stories from St. Vincent…
