Well, arrival was a blur..... but let's get the flight done first. Arrived and attempted to check in...got my e-ticket...please report to information desk... ok. I am greeted by a lovely bloke who asks me if i _really_ want to fly today>? He then offers me 450 quid to take the same flight the following day... I decline... the idea of hanging around an airport hotel for 24 hours does not fill me with joy...so I get my seat and eventually board.. as with all BA flights, the leg-room is designed for circus midgets... no matter, so long as the person in front doesn't hit recline for the entire flight I'll be ok....ooops.. to late - I'm pinned in by the tatooed uber bitch from hell and her chav boyfriend. Oh well. Apart from leg cramps and DVT I've survived... maybe I should have taken that cash? Never mind. On the updside I got to meet a cool guy called Dave who's about to embark on a book tour of Oz. Website : http://www.davecornthwaite.co.uk/
If I get a chance, I'll hook up for a drink when he arrives in Adelaide for his book tour. Who knows I may even buy the book.
Anyways, I seem to have slept loads since I got here... think it was the crappy flight and the sheer heat. Wandered around near the hotel last night. As you'd expect the place is full of street hawkers, vendors and bars. Whiled away the time by eating drinking and soaking it all up but was back at the hotel by 11pm and out like a light. I'm now on the hunt for a tailor I found via the web (seemed to be ok according to the reviews so I'll guess we'll see). Will sort out the suit this afternoon and get an initial fitting. Then its off on the Skytrain to MBK Plaza for some shopping. Loads of stuff there apparently. Tomorrow, (hopefully) I'll have a crack at the more 'cultural' bits and try and see the Budhha and temples... so that's it for now.
catch you soon.

Wow! I never knew that's how they'd designed those seats. Is there room for them to turn round or can they just face you?
I must admit Adam, you ARE dedicated. Boarding a flight to Thailand but still thinking about the midget action you can get on the way. Shame you got the book dude next to you and not a whole family of munchkins. That would be HOT!
Mad fool. £450 !! You could have felt like a contractor (for a day anyway!) Just think of all the nice Thai girls that would have "loved you long time" with that bulge in your pants.
Have a great time.
