Home Sweet Home

It's almost a week since I left my family and friends in the uk. It was a tearful farewell.

But then I switched over to holiday mode - that was fun! No work, meeting friends, eating out, chilling out and having fun...

Novelty is wearing thin slightly and I am beginning to miss home comforts. It's probably cos out here, where I basically know noone (this also includes N cos we're not best mates; very superficial - in fact, we piss each other off every day - it's only been the 4th day! Glad we're separating in 2 days! Also glad he doesn't read my blogs!); it's really hard to know who to trust.

Don't think it's possible to trust many people in thailand cos they really are out to con you here!

1. Conned to buy some fake gems
2. Conned by taxi and tuk tuk drivers - overcharging all the time
3. Conned by sellers - overpriced goods once they realise you're a tourist
4. Conned by tour guide - the price he quoted didn't even include tickets to the actual tour! Basically paid him to take a few photos! Ripoff!!

Okay, prices here are dirt cheap and people are poorer and more hardworking than those lazybones back home who don't work but claim benefits; but still!

Wish people would just be honest.

Out here, I have learnt to be less gullible and I should trust noone.

I miss home.

Eyes water...
