Back in Bangkok

I left Thailand August 24 last year and now I'm back in Bangkok again after 6 months of travelling. It took some time to get used to the humid climate again, and the 4 hour time difference between Sydney and Singapore was really noticeable.

The flight today from Sydney to Bangkok was quite bumpy with a lot of turbulence as we were approaching Bangkok. A lot of thunderstorms around and even some hail. After a safe landing I went to immigration without any trouble, the only thing was that it took 1 hour for the bag to arrive... really annoying of course.

Well that's it for now, this weekend is the big birthday celebration weekend since my birthday is on Monday. I'm lucky enough to have my friend Sarah coming to Bangkok for the weekend to celebrate with me, so it will be a good celebration.

Cheers,

Australia Day Feb. 26

On Wednesday Feb. 26 it's Australia Day, this is a public holiday in Australia and there is a lot of events all over Sydney. This reminds me a bit about the Queensday celebration in the Netherlands, so when I've experienced this I'll post an update about this big day here in Australia.

After Australia Day the next big thing in Sydney will be the celebration of Chinese New Year.
