Keep a close watch on the bumps, Tan. Don’t let them get out of control again. It’s probably worth seeing a doctor and asking if it could be Doxy and if it is whether Maleron would do the same job for the 14 days remaining. How have things been since you stopped taking Doxy?

Don’t change your ticket just yet, Jul. I’m going to try and find out what rerouting costs if you do it all at once. Going to Bangkok via Singapore in order to get to Singapore makes as much sense as going to Auckland via Kerikeri!

It would be worth a 3km trek to sink weary limbs into hot sulphur. We paid $80 for a plush cabin for a week, which was such a good deal we overstayed ridiculously. I think it’s worth checking their prices and getting out of town centres a bit. It’s off season, so maybe cheaper.

There are also public spa pools at Mount Manganui, as I recall.

Mama says take Nat Mur (homeopathic) for the twiching eye. Possibly a salt deficiency.
I say stop drinking coffee (if you’ve started) and get more sleep.

He thinks you may be either allergic to Doxy or exposure to the sun is making you allergic to something else because of Doxy. He suggested taking Maleran instead. I’ll contact someone and see if it would be okay to switch. I suggest staying out of malarial places from now on, to minimise risk. In other words, no Lombok!

RM just called in with his father to discuss the veg patch.

Yay ok boglar, check it out with the pharmacy and see what he saya. The doc here seemed to this that doxy was less than useless and should be chucked away forthwith!!!!

I’m all for giving it up as i don’t remember getting bitten really after cochin in india!!!! Espercially if it stops these pesky lumps. On the other hand, we only have 10-15 days left of them to take, so might be an idear to finish the tocic course and then get better!!!! Swellings all on legs and but at the mo. One tiny one on my cheeck has gone. am taking Neoclarityn given by Yi-Jing, so that seems to be stopping it getting bad.
Let me know what you think. Geoff can charge his mini disk and i can’t charg the phone, so it must be the charger or the phone. I will swap with jul.

Jul: that sounds fine to me. I will send you a list of things to do and things not to do and where to stay, eat ect as without a guide you will be grabbed by the first con artist and relieved of your last dollars!!!!

1st thing is, the taxi from the airport should cost 60 baht.( one pound is about 67 baht) top are cheaper off kohsan rd and much more later!!!

Cheers T

Malta hey… nice. What are these fabled sledge tracks?

jul: Spooks is a MI5/6 program. second series. I vaguely remember the 1st so I guess you must have watched it too.

Biscu, this doxy stuff sounds a bit hellish. Methinks I’ll stear clear of malaria-infested hellhole if I go trvelling…

Had my first exam yesterday. Only 1.5hrs, went ok.

Oh and I saw Matrix 2 the other day. I thought it was good, but everybody except for chis hated it. Throuble is, they went in to the film expecting to hate it and generally with a nitpicking attitude. Thus preventing them from suspending disbelief, which solid will tell you, if the key to enjoying any film. Personally, I thought it was fairly good, but should have been more of a standalone film. And I didn’t like the preachy bit in the cavern. and the rest of the preachy stuff. also, who switched the matrix back on? Didn’t neo turn it off at the end of the last one?

jul, why is your eye twitching?
