Travelling Around SE Asia.

Well as you can read about here, things went a bit sour for me at work in Japan. The big question was what to do about it. I initially applied for another job in Tokyo but didn't get it. Straight after that I went on a two week holiday in Vietnam, and when I arrived back in Tokyo after that, the way seemed to be clear : go backpacking around South East Asia until I ran out of money .......... seemed straightforward enough, and once I got through all the crap involved in leaving Japan - it was !!!

THe photos sprinkled around these pages are a mixture of ones I took myself and ones I found on the internet. I didn't take much photos really. I didn't have a camera, but maybe once a month I'd buy a disposable one and use up the whole roll in a few hours on scenery.

While I was travelling around, every now and again I would send off a group e-mail to everyone in my address book giving a vague description of what I was up to. These e-mails will be the basis of this page.
