I planned and saved for the previous trip for about 3 years, so my boss knew it was coming. I've been working as a casual since I got back, helping to finish off the project and a little on some new research. I'm trying to draw out the casual work until I leave again as there is no chance of jagging a full-time job if I'm honest about my intentions. The joys of no kids and no mortgage - making the most of it while I can.
Anyone seen any of the Miracles doco on channel 2?? (you can still watch two of the episodes on abc i-view) http://www.abc.net.au/iview/#/docs
The latest episode was about an aussie stuck in the Laos jungle for 12 nights!! crazy that he made it out alive, well worth a watch. The local Lao village people had to carry him all the way out. definite miracle.
Have spent the last 24 hours figuring out how to get a Myanmar visa and getting my shit together for it. Have to get to a post office today and send forms and passport etc to the Myanmar embassy in Canberra, so fingers crossed it comes back with a stamp!
They've stopped the VOA because of the 'election' in November. The plan is to go to Myanmar for a couple of weeks and fly out just before the 'election'.
Was in Togo just before it's 'election', which was a fairly interesting experience. No need to tell you that they were a sham too.
As for other plans. No real plans as yet, just see bits and pieces of Thailand, Cambodia & Laos and make it home before Christmas.
