This is he kick ass plane I'm sitting in right now. I get into Bangkok about 7pm local time I think and I've planned where I'm going and will practice some lingo when I get toy he airport if it hopefully has wifi :)

We got back to the hotel at 8am yesterday morning, fantastic night! I made a marvellous wingman (even I I do say so myself) for Tom and it was well worth not having made plans; I got up at 2, happy as parry on the way to the Pokemon Center but the hangover was kicking by the time I set off back. I have an awesome new subtlety Pokemon t-shirt.

There are no lighters I the hold luggage so I had the challenge of finding one I had put in for fire making when I got to the airport. I didn't know where it was and it wasn't in the most likely places. I hadn't seen it while I was packing/unpacking/living out of it before. So we sent it to the X-ray machine and the chaps kept pointing at areas they thought it was in so I littered the table with junk, from condoms to sandals to ketchup. Of course I brought ketchup. Don't mock me! Hahaha. For disgusting food emergencies. Anyway the lighter was in the mesh pouch on the outside of the bag. So that was that.

Status
• Just had a surprisingly successful nap interspersed with gunfire courtesy of the expendables 2...
• Moving on to Ice Age 4...
• I will be going back to Japan and I have left plenty to do when I go back, including having MORE okinomoyaki...

Food
Worst sandwiches ever from the plane lady, but at least they were after quite a nice curry. The wine wasn't great, I'll go for a g&t next I think. I got some snacks at the airport with a combined bag of shrapnel from hotel folk. One was a ice cream wafer with red berry ran things which I finished before checking in, the other is a bag of weird ginger crisps which are not at all as nice as they look, but better than my polystyrene sandwiches!

Fact: THAI operates daily flights to Samui from Bangkok. Courtesy of the in flight magazine... I don't even know where Samui is.
