Frames and Parts

Back in a month *EDIT*

What I'll miss while I'm away...


1. Melburn winter.

2. Being forced up the curb, into a pole by a truck that decides to change lanes last minute.   Small consolation is that the driver was extremely polite and apologetic.

3. Watching the Track events this weekend.


Other than that?


















Not that much. 

There is something VERY nice about leaving what you know behind in favour of the unknown.

Where you'll be sleeping, eating, what you'll be seeing, doing, smelling, hearing, feeling and most of all - learning.  It's all very exciting.

I look forward to bumpy bus rides, getting caught in storms, being hot, standing in cramped lines at a border crossing, having my mouth burn from spicy dishes, and taking the odd photograph.

I will aim to not injure myself or my cherished travelling companion, be robbed at gunpoint, ripped off, fall ill from eating from street sellers, buy tat that I will never use.  However I cannot guarantee it.

It's a big world - I'm off to see it. I'll see you an e-card in a month

Having your mouth burnt by spicy dishes...

I'd be more concerned about getting burned at the back end of play

Nothing like a bit of the old Viet Nam ring sting

you gotta have some dong (more than one is helpful) where he is going...

We're all missing the track cycling! **** TV.. Is there an Olympic dvd that comes out? As soon as we're out of medal contention it seems to cut back to **** a million times more boring than the men's sprint.

I'm so mad i could spit. Or throw the TV out the window.
