Ciao Ciao SE Asia!!!

Last hours in Bangkok!

I never felt quite confortable in this town... must be that I've never been here in the right mood... and always thinking about leaving instead of staying... well that is the case today... in about 5 hours I should be flying away to Hong Kong... and then NZ!

Mix feelings right now... the last couple of days I've said good bye to Oscar (I won't see him in three months from now... at least... next appointment is my birthday... but I "dunno" where), said good bye to Roger and Quim again in Bangkok (these two I don't know when I'll see them again)... and I am saying good bye to SE Asia and all the great moments and experiences I had here in the last three months (it feels like the end of the summer holidays now, but I will come back soon ;oD).

On the other hand I'm quite excited. Mum is already flying to New Zealand... 30 hours trip, and we will be both arriving at the same time in Auckland (that's great planning, isn't it?). Completely new mind set in my head... low budget is never going to be as easy as it has been in the last 90 days... but it is going to be fun :oD!

The last day in BKK was to check out the famous Royal Palace, the Esmerald Buddha and the Wat Pho and the reclining Buddha. I took the kids with me, so they could get a last pic of one of the most amazing sites in SE Asia. The place is amazing, there Chedis everywhere with golden statues, beautiful buildings, cool stone statues and all shorts of different building built by the different kings (they are all called "King Rama" and the number... no originallity here!)... and people praying with flowers and incense everywhere.

And what about the famous golden reclyning buddha???!? I was told it was big... but not that it was huge... it hardly fits in the building :oP. It is really cool. People get (god knows how many) 1 bath coins and put one in a line of (god knows how many) buckets for good luck, the main drive in the religions I've seen in this part of the world.
Makes kind of sense to worry more about the life you have now than the one you might have in the future... doesn't it???

After the classic tourism I had my last "great" Thai Massage, and started to get mentally ready for departure... had fresh fruit, good curry and a good night of sleep.

Now is time to get my bus to the airport... Can't wait to see Mum's face when landing in Auckland :oP... she doesn't know yet that she is going to be cooking home made food for 3 weeks, hehe... but I've already been dreaming about it!!! Time to put some weight on!

Take care you all... and have a lovely week... and remember to post all your recommendations for NZ! Haven't got much clue on what to do there ;oD...

Un beso muy fuerte a todas/os... parto hacia los confines del mundo... o asi parece por la de horas que me quedan de avion... Tenganme mucho cuidadin con lo que hacen, y disfruten de cada dia! Yo ya voy centrado pensando en la tortilla de patata "de la casa" que me voy a comer en cuanto encontremos un lugar con cocina!!!
