Friday 25th - set off from preston to london. drive was good but hot. i really miss driving. a month without driving isnt fun. got on the plane at 9pm. standard really other than we tried to hide our drinks so we could get more, and in the chaos i spilt my drink all over my lap, making it look like i either was pissed or pissed myself, or possibly both...
Saturday 26th – arrived in thailand, met a guy called KD, seemed alright. was about 8 at night though so we were knackered and barely took in a word he was saying. had a 4am thunderstorm that night which we were amazed by. of course by the standard of thunderstorms weve seen since then it was barely anything at all.
Sunday 27th – made our first trip to khao san road which is quite a touristy area. met up with my friend damon from uni and watched england vs germany in the world cup. seeing england get bummed on the first night of bangkok wasnt exactly the greatest welcome to bangkok we could have had. headed back to the apartment after a few drinks and lizzi knocked a glass off of our 4th floor apartment. we ran inside scared as theres a security guard right next to where it smashed.
Monday 28th – went to the AYC building, the company for which i am working for. was told i'd be starting in my school on friday, this did not happen. had more drinks and i showed lizzi Aziz Ansaris stand up dvd. of course she loved it.
Tuesday 29th – another visit to AYC, not interesting at all. just was getting lessons in how to do lesson plans among other things. the guy we had was clearly retarded though as he spelt things like production as prodstion. idiot.
Weds 30th – mostly did sightseeing today with a guy from AYC called Jakk, a pretty decent thai guy. visited the Grand Palace, Golden Buddha & Reclining Buddha. all of which were pretty stunning but we had to wear jeans to get into the temples which meant that the whole day was just a sweat fest meaning that it was hard to concentrate on anything other than wanting to die from the heat. then went to a restaurant that looked like a windmill, our boy jakk got quite pissed with us whilst drinking about 15litres of beer watching thai people on a stage sing lady gaga and maroon 5 songs. classic. he then thought it would be a great idea to drive home wankered. turns out it was. he nearly killed a couple of guys on their scooters. he then just simply said 'dont worry, im not pissed'. oh jakk.
Thurs 1st – didnt do much at all today. got some take away pizza and i think did washing. probably watched aziz again and started watching community. brilliant.
Fri 2nd – friday night, got quite drunk with a teacher i was living across from and then headed over to a bar near Cal’s. was good to see him as hadnt done so in about a month. got quite pissed at his bar then moved onto khao san. just an amazing place, so touristy but some times its exaclty what you want. massive outdoor bars with huge screens for the footy, and loads of people from different countries going crazy when their country was playing. its hard to explain what its like, but i guess its kinda like ideal for a lads holiday espesh when the world cup is on. we drank buckets of rum (as in bucket and spade buckets), then it started pissing it down. we ran for cover but then some cheeky little thai girl ran upto us with a bucket of water and threw it all over us. nice one.
okay thats all for now as i cant be arsed and im bored typing it so youre probably more bored reading it as i didnt make it interesting at all. but its hard to remember what i did a month ago so deal with it & shut up. oh and for those who havent, drop me a message once in a while. gives me something to do while im on break at work. which i'll go into more on my next post. god knows when that'll be though.
i'll just say its amazing over here and i have no intention of coming back to preston any time soon. make sure you read the next one. it'll be more interesting and i'll actually spend time writing it properly.
laterz. sb
