Bangkok - homeward bound

Well, That's about it. Catching a flight at 7:25 this evening.

Just a few notes though.

Everyone should do this kind of trip.

Not necessarily back-packing. But a trip where you ditch the group tours.

To hell with tour buses and guides with microphones.

Make a plan that leaves room for scrapping 'the' plan.

Take a detour whenever you feel like it.

Experience the local public transport.

Make "getting lost" a part of your itinerary.

Meet new friends from all over the world practically everyday.

Become an ambassador for your country.

Learn swear words in 10 foreign languages.

Learn the word "Cheers" in 10 more.

Taste food whose last rites haven't been said as yet.

Get your self invited to a local's house.

Come back with stories to tell your grand kids.

I've not made it sound exciting. It just is.

Going back home now.
