2 days til i leave with plenty of packing to go - had a wondeful curry off my mate with no Deli belly yet...though this will be one of the inevitabilites of this trip lets just hope my supply of Imodium holds strong!
I am flying into Bangkok for a 5 week tour of Thailand with a weeks jaunt to Cambodia to see the mighty Angor Wat before heading to India for a similar spell culminating in Christmas and NYE in Goa or thereabouts.
Watch this space for more exciting adventures of Danish in Asia :)
