ok so....

I'm back in Bangkok for the night. My visa in Thailand expires on the 30th so I'm making my way out of the country. Problem is... not too sure which way I'm going to go. I may go northwest all along the Myanmar boarder up to Laos then down to Cambodia.. or the other way around... through Cambodia first. It really is depending on where I want to spend Christmas. My flight for Australia leaves from here on January 15th... so I have quite a bit of time. I had an amazing 8 days down in Koh Phangan... the people that I met up with are awesome. However, after tomorrow, we are all going our separate ways... so time to meet some new friends. I am completely exhausted though and wishing I was back down south on those beaches. I have an opportunity to go to Cambodia and help out with this orphanage (for as long as I would like). A friend of mine just recently helped out there and he said it was pretty amazing. There's aot to help out with.. whether it's teaching English to the kids, cooking... whatever... This seems more of what I would like to do rather then the village of tribe people. And yes... 4 of us out of our group got tattoos. It is the word journey and it's written in Bali (old language the monks use).. It's been an absolute wreck of a week and I loved every minute of it. 153
