“Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things - air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky - all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.”-John Stole

Another Blog update from King Kong

its been a while. sorry for no updates but i have been verry well lazy :)

i am currently in Hong Kong doing a visa run from Thailand, yes i want to stay there longer i am addicted to the life style there.

anyway heres whats been happening since my last blog update.

some amount of weeks earlier...........

pretty much everyone i know has left Thailand now and eather gone home or moved on just me an Oli from Switzerland are still here. we are both addicted to muay thai and Thailand. we are both training at a different gym now "Jaruad Champion Gym" a small gym round the corner from my old gym it is run by an X world champion of Muay thai as all the gyms in Thailand seem to be hmmmmm. anyway i moved to this gym mainly because me and oli had made friends with alot of the thai trainers and jaruad himself. i don't really hang around with any Fallang(foreigners) anymore just oli and the thai guys. I usually eat at the gym as the trainers cook great thai food and i can eat for free. also this gym is slightly cheeper than rawai muay thai (40 pounds a month cheeper) and there are only 3 or 4 people who train there so it is always 1 on 1 tuition.

ermmmm some exciting things i have done since my last blog update.......

last week i went to a thai music venue with the thai trainers, me and oli were the only non asian people in the place. the venue was verry dark but the live music was cool, i actually quite like the thai music especially the thai Reggy music.  anyway in the venue we ait round a table, it seems to be acceptable to bring your own whisky to bars, clubs, music venues in thailand if your thai so the thai trainers brought 2 bottles of whisky and we purchased soda and ice at the venue. the thai guys drink so much whisky and soda its crazy.

i have been in rawai, phuket so long now when i walk down the street people recognize me and say hi frazer. when i get back from HK me and a couple of students from rawai plan on renting a house, it will work out cheeper than where i a staying now but i will have a 3 bedroom house with cooking facilities and Deng one of the trainers has offered to come round and show me how to cook thai food. to top it all of the house also has a swimming pool. i wish i found out about this earlier.

before coming to HK i spent a night in BKK it was crazy a night in a 4 star hotel for only 1000 Baht. BKK is like Beijing but with even more crazy people. i went out, walked through a few cool markets, purchased a cool t-shirt, wnt to a bar, played some pool and then returned to the hotel for sleep. the thai language is soooo cool. i have actually learnt quite alot, i speak more thai than some thai people speek english now.

in the morning i went to see the BKK temple and then headed to HK once in the airport i got the sky train to HK island. such a cool view from the train, amazing architecture everywhere. when in HK i followed directions to a couch i had been told i could crash on (www.couchsurfing.org) although i got close i couldnt find it. i got a taxi to a hotel. this time prepared with a list of useful Cantonese phrases as expected the taxi driver didn't speak English. i got to the hotel and crashed out.

what i have planned.,,,....

i plan to spend a few says in HK and meet a few couch surfers and also stella wong. i met stella wong in Beijing and i have arraigned to go have dinner with her tonight and she wants to show me around HK. after HK i plan to spend a day in Macau to do the highest bunjee jump in the world. i am very excited for Macau, the lass vegas of asia!!! should be fun!

frazer out!
