How is it that I am now on to my very last week in Malaysia? It feels like I'd just arrived home after 12 hours of pre-flight angst and hell, and now, I have exactly one week to say my last goodbyes, pack up my bags and go.

So far, the holiday has been a blur, but the good kind of blur. The highlight would definitely have to be my trip starting from Penang through to Kanchanaburi and finally ending up in Bangkok, Thailand. It reminded me so much of the roadtrip I took so many years ago - driving from Sydney to Cairns - because it was so impromptu, and we travelled each day not knowing what to expect for the next.




What took me most by surprise about the trip was my willingness to jump onto a little 110cc Honda Click-i and take a 65km ride to the Erawan National Park in Kanchanaburi, and then riding 65km back.





In a nutshell, for the duration of the trip I ate some of the yummiest food ever to cross my palate, I saw things and scenes that took my breath away, I laughed till I ached with tears streaming down my eyes, I met some of the nicest and most helpful people (only in Thailand) and I expanded my Life Repertoire just that little bit more.





Thailand? Awesomesauce.
