moving on..

pictures, pictures, pictures... from top to bottom: mohawk crafting, our "place" here at the coopers, the blown up porsche i was talking about at the mca, australia day out at the palace with alissa, bondi beach

so.. last day in sydney. bittersweet as hell.

yes.

but apparently thailand is well known for a certain full moon party-- i believe that is what they call it these days-- lasting for a day or two. i suppose i can survive with those kinds of rosy thoughts in my head. haha yeah, i should be just fine.

good news on the CHUG front-- the car has been revived and will be shipped to us in bangkok on thursday! thats right! we will now have the car to tour the thai countryside. it was actually really cheap to ship the car over, only another $1800 and we know that we will get the money back when we sell it. so we are back in the high life again...

kidding.

but we did get a small refund for the remaining portion of the vehicle registration which may come in handy later on in the trip when i am eating bamboo for survival.

we've met lots of people here-- i wanted to do like a "profile" of each person we came across in our travels but i never got around to sorting it out enough to get it on paper. maybe later down the road. but it seems all the people we came across had some sort of intricate role in making the trip here in australia exactly what it turned out to be...

so surround yourself with the people you love-- i think its worth it.

the plan in thailand is to take about two weeks to make it south to ko pangan for the full moon party on 14 feb. from there, thinking about heading northbound towards chang mia.. not really sure. we are sticking with goals in the 2 week range and then we figure out the next two weeks'ish.

sounds like a plan. more from thailand!
