<h1><a href="/2013/06/30/thailand">Thailand</a></h1>
<p><i class="fa fa-clock-o"></i> Posted on 30 June 2013</p>
<br>
<p>My first day in Thailand I flew into Koh Saumi and got a minibus transfer to Chaweng beach. After looking at a few places that seems pretty average for the price, and generally remembering how nasty Chaweng was, I found some free wifi and looked up some places on Trip Advisor and decided to head to Lamai beach and try a few places there.</p>
<p>After having a few taxi’s try and ask for ludicrous amounts for the trip to the first place on my list, claiming that the place I wanted to go was way past Lamai, I finally got a motorbike taxi who would take me for a reasonable price… until one of the asshole taxi drivers came over and told him that the place I wanted to go to wasn’t in Lamai. But what I do know, I’m just a stupid foreigner who’s got the address here stating it’s in Lamai, and Google maps showing me it’s there. In the end he agreed to take me for 50% more then we’d originally agreed, and I was fed up screwing around so I accepted.</p>

<h1><a href="/2013/06/27/airport-security-in-india">Airport security in India</a></h1>
<p><i class="fa fa-clock-o"></i> Posted on 27 June 2013</p>
<br>
<p>I’m jumping out of order for a bit for a quick story about the joys of security theater in Indian airports.</p>
<p>I get dropped off at the airport by a taxi and head towards the door in which I can see signs pointing to departures and arrivals. I go to enter and the security guy on the door, holding what I think was an MP-5 machine gun, wants to see ticket and passport. Having only booked my ticket online hours earlier and having no printer I had no ticket to show him. He says I can show him on my phone, I pull up Trip-It and show him the flight details and confirmation number but he’s not happy because there’s no name listed so he sends me around to the ticket desk to get a ticket printed. After trying the next two entrances in the direction he gestured I realise the desks are basically just invisible slots in the glass front of the building.</p>
<p class="flickr-image"><img alt="image" src="/images/cache/c4788b345ab4feb2d6068e42b1a3a8af/tumblr_inline_mp223quYeM1qz4rgp.jpg" /><br /><em>The “ticket desk”</em></p>
<p>There’s a guy in there on his phone, but he doesn’t look over when I say nameste, nor when I knock on the window. A rather stressed out looking Indian man comes over and tries as well but the guy inside completely ignores both of us. Nice to know it’s not just because I’m a foreigner.</p>

<h1><a href="/2013/05/14/day-1-melbourne-to-saigon">Day 1: Melbourne to Saigon</a></h1>
<p><i class="fa fa-clock-o"></i> Posted on 14 May 2013</p>
<br>
<p>I spent my entire last night in Melbourne with my mind racing, completely unable
to sleep. I think I nearly feel asleep for a bit at around 5am, and then was
woken not long after by a notification on my phone lighting up the room.</p>
<p>By 6:30am when I planned to get up I’d completely given up hope of getting any
sleep and got up and made myself a coffee, then zipped up my bag fully packed.</p>
