The next installment is that Our freind Michelle who we met in Thailand has arrived in Perth and she could be stickin around and travelling with us which is good. And Ive got Maria coming out to see me in a couple of weeks too so I'm a happy boy! Ada, me and Michelle got pissed the other night and I think it gave Ada inspiration because he woke up the next morning and went out without a word , then he came back smiling and chatting and I couldn't shut him up...now i'm in the internet cafe and hes test driving all these camper vans. I think hes just made an offer on Quite a nice little van with lots of stuff chucked in extra! OK hes just bought it!!!!! We are very excited! I think we will have a drink now.....

Hey sorry about the wait but things have been running slowly for once. We have now settled down and still have found no work not that we've broken our backs trying but weve asked everyone weve seen and had a good look around. We went to the western Australian DJ championships the otherday which was pretty good and the next day we went to see Blackalicious the next day which was one of the best HipHop concerts Ive been to. The crowd participation was unbelievable and I left with my hair standing on end!
We have spent alot of time doin nuthin much though because of a lack of enthusiasm from either of us. I think its just the shock of the price of beer (it works out the same as London prices). Other things like clothes are very reasonable and we pay very little for our accommodation considering our nice location (5 mins from the Indian Ocean and near shops and train stations).

Ok, now we have got our own flat in Mosman Park which is the most affluent area of Perth so we are told. It doesnt seem that special but there a some massive houses about. We live in the groundfloor of a block of flats and we have a swimming pool in the back garden. Sounds nice doesnt it? We havent dared go in the pool yet though coz its a bit chilly out here and as you all know I need about twenty sweatshirts to leave the house in these conditions. Ada is happy walking round in a t-shirt though. I have found rang a bloke about doing some Breakin, he does lessons. $7 for 2 hours on a Saturday so I'll check that out when I can. We have ben playing Basketball and football and have been exploring the publife a fair bit although things are a bit pricey when it comes to drinking! I works out a bit more expensive to drink here than at home!
Last night we met a geeza who does extreme surfing and travels the whole world doing it. He got chucked out the club we were in last night coz he was a lunatic! A funny one though. Any way I'll update you soon...

ok then next stop is a place a few stops down the train track called Cottesloe where its supposed to be nice. We got there yesterday and had a look at a backpackers hostel. It was very clean and tidy with wooden floors, very nice looking indeed so we were happy to chill out there and got a doubleroom as opposed to a sharing dorm with lots of others in it just for a good sleep. Hmmmmm... After being there an hour a girl complained that a bloke walked into her dorm and started spankin his monkey in front of her and she tried to leave and he said "oh no please dont go!". Sleazy! So he got chucked out.
Then we went out for a drink and found a pub full of peolpe close to collapsing from alcohol poisoning and suffering from a bad case of dickheaditus! So 2 pints and we left there. We had the best fish and chips though that I have ever had. A fish called Haik or something, I dont know how to spell it.
Then we went back to our room and Couldnt sleep because of the night club/pub next door, right next to my window. When I was just dosing off, I heard about 8 blokes shouting, falling over, singing, fighting, argueing etc. They did this until 4.30 and Ada was starting to act like my old freind Mat Thomas. I thought he was gonna go and kick in the telly(becaus e it was on full blast and they were singing) but we could hear other people going out there and they were having no joy.
So they got kicked out and the hostel lost about $300 of business from people leaving. So we still dont know what we are doing yet!

Heres the news. We got to Perth without anywhere to stay at about 10.00pm it was raining cats and monkeys outside and they said there was a cyclone coming so it was a bit cold and windy. We were standing there in shorts and a vest freezin our jacobs crackers off. We phoned the first backpackers place we could and were told that the lovely Lisa was coming to get us from the airport in 5 mins. So 30 mins later the old dog whos name is Linsey and her mate Lucy pick us up in some shitty moter and take us to the biggest bunch of dickheads in Austalia. Our room smelt of piss and smelly feet.
Since then we have accumilated alot of info and are going to rent an appartment of some sort near the beach and we will both get jobs. Fingers crossed. The weather is set to improve and so is our situation so all is nice now.......Peace we outa here!!!!!!!!!!

Hello again everyone, we are in Singapore now and what a difference it is. Now we are here we wish we were here a bit longer. It makes a change to be in organised, civilised, surroundings. This place is clean. This place is nice. I havent been hassled by anyone yet and when I ask for help I get it, its amazing! We got here yesterday and found a dorm to stay in straight away so we are alright. When you get to the Airport though you cant help but notice the six young boys waving M16's around. This tends to put you on best behaviour to say the least. You cant smoke and chew chewing gum or Jaywalk here so we are being careful not to break the rules. We went to the zoo today because Singapore zoo is supposed to be the best in the world. I would say its the best I've been to. I could have sworn that I have seen some of those faces around Medway though,epecially in the primate section...
We move on again on Thursday to Perth though which means no more flying for a while which Ada is happy about I think( Hes a bit of a BA Baracus when it comes to that flying).
I aint gettin on no plane sucka!

Since the last entry we have left Koh PhiPhi. We went to Krabi town which is nothin to write home about, just a stop off point. We then went to Surat thani where we got a night train back to Bangkok unsure of what to do next. Night trains are great we had our own own bunkbeds with reading lights and curtains and I had the best nights sleep.
we got to Bangkok with not much in mind but bumped into a freind we met in Koh Samui called Steve Smart(Hello Steve!). We all ended up going for a drink in Patpong Road on my birthday which turned out to be one of the funniest night I've had.
We first saw some of the most corny performances of modern pop music. These Thai people are soooo funny. There should be an eastern version of Eurotrash if there isnt already. We then went into a bar where there seemed to be a sex show going on and within 2 mins I was hit on the head with a banana which had been fired from some ladys $%&@!!!!!! Everyone laughed at me and then she fired darts at balloons. One of them had tik-a-tape coming out of her front bum( sorry to be beating around the bush---no pun intended but alot of different people read this site and I dont really want to go into too much detail--ok?).Basically Bankok is just off the head and I have seen very strange things here to put it mildly.........We left the club in hysterics anyway!
We now have decided to go to Singapore on the 8th of July. We changed our tickets and are ready to move on again.
Maria, if you ever manage to log on to this site, Hello! and I cant wait to see you in August. I'm also looking forward to visits from Danny Tomlin, Lisa, Adas mum and dad and anyone else who would like to say Hi! Thanks for reading, Bye from me and Ada!

Right then, about time we did an entry we think.
While still in Phi Phi we climbed to the top ofthe biggest mountain on the Island to a viewpoint to take pictures then discovered that we could walk to the other side of the Island to another beach. Freida who was with us was told by some freinds that the beach was a dump so we didn't expect too much. As it goes though the beach turned out to be the best beach I've seen ever and we had lots of fun snorkelling and drinking from coconuts. It turned out to be a magical day, it was like being a kid again, just exploring and finding a nice place to chill. Hello to Freida and thankyou for your company. You kept us laughing all day but you know this anyway dont you!
