Hunted by disasters


On the Singapore metro.

Always on the run. The floods in Australia decided to cross our way and kick our journey. Not very polite. There was a few paddles and not even McDonalds had any food left, since nothing could come through.

One year in Cairns and of course our dear cyclone Yasi wanted to come and visit us, see how we were doing. I normally like surprises, but he could at least have given us some notice cause we had just left our home behind. Good old Yasi must have been disappointed in our useless company. Not much of a party there, sorry about that.


Killed a few city hours with game arcades and cinema.

We got further and to our next destination - Christchurch, New Zealand. X Base hostel had been closed since the earthquake in September. And you could tell, half the building was gone. But who does not want this amazing group to stay at their hostel? We arrived at 1 in the morning and "You are more than welcome to check in!!", They opened up again. Had an awesome road trip around the South island, then 2 recovering days of sleep back at Base before we abandonned NZ 20th of February. New Zealand's most damaging earthquake hit Christchurch at the 21st. At that hour we were watching Anthony Hopkins doing som exorcism exercising in Singapore. Saw our hostel on the CNN news in our Bangkok guesthouse room this morning. AND MY FAVOURITE COFFEE SHOP!!! :(:(:(:(
People have died and heaps are still stuck in what's left of the buildings on our street. 3rd time luck. Indeed.



...and literally spent the night on a bench/concrete floor. Someone should have warned me... It was not comfortable, at all. So I guess this is my warning, just don't do it. Not worth it.


Current location: Bangkok. We better get out of here before next coming disaster reaches us. So, lets go to... maybe... Laos? Yeh, lets book a ticket, right now.

Nu börjar det bli lite svårt att hänga med i svängarna. Lördag: ni ska till Thailand, söndag: nej ni ska till Indien, måndag: man kan se på Facebook att ni är i Malaysia, tisdag: Thailand, onsdag: Laos? Med den här takten borde ni kunna vara i England efter helgen!
