So it seems wherever i go the past couple of days this monk jumps out of nowhere and demands a donation its crazy i was taking a photo and all a sudden hes trying to force into my hand a piece of paper which if i accepted i would have to offer a payment (donation)
I also find it really odd the fact that if you demand agressivly a donation or if you demand money IE: rob someone isnt that close to the same thing?
anyways this guy was annoying even found me having a coffee in the shoping mall!!
And hes only been bugging me no other locals just the white guy whos not even a buddist.

Beyond that i couldnt get wi fi or internet and i really had to do some research / confirm plans with friends tongiht and i was really annoyed so i took a walk to blow off some steam ended up out of the tourist area and found the best computers for half the price of the shit computers that dont even work in the tourist ghettos.

I think its safe to say after 3 years on the road and 7 months right now with my health constantly in flux, I have become a bit of a jaded traveler and as i always said, if you can't laugh to yourself about it... its time to go home....
Guess its good i'm leaving in 10 days

Beyond that
I'm meeting with my friend jessica this weekend she wants to go party at a nice posh club at first i was gonna be cheap and say no, but then i though man i'm going home to nothing in 10 days i'm lucky if i have anyone to even go out with if iwant to, i should be having fun my last 10 days coz once its over its over
Thus im gonna go and have fun if i spend too much well then i'll deal with it another day

As well taro and scott come on tuesday so it will be nice to see some friendly faces over the course of my last 10 days.

Thats all folks
Off to KL tomorrow
