Hi everyone , short update, next time you here from me i will be in Vietnam. Done a few touristy things like floating markets , bridge on the river kwai. Spent today with an agent looking at apartments to lease. Definately thinking on coming back here and settle for a while. Never thought i would like Bangkok this much . Found great new renovated place fully furnished flat screen tv's maids qrtrs pool gymn 2 bedroms 3 bathrooms i can get for about $380 aus per week. Very big apartment and worth a lot more than they are asking. Will need to go to Thai embassay in Saigon to find out how long i can stay here. Maybe i should try for Thai citizenship. Pretty organised before i left Aus however i have discovered something that has turned into a blessing. My ipod, ok you are all thinking for the music right? Well yes thats partly correct hoiwever i have discovered if i go into a bar during the day for a cold beer and don't want to be asked by every bar girl from here to Hong Kong to buy them a drink and they will love me long time i stick my ear plugs in and avoid eye contact they don't come near me. I have even done this when the battery was flat. Just sat and moved my head every now and then like i was listening to something. So there you go another small tip for Darryls travel guide yet to be published.
