Well, well, well ...

It seems I've had complaints about the lack of updates on the blawg so I'll throw a bone.

For those who don't know: I got really ill on our way back from Thailand. I'd been a bit unlucky with a mosquito bite - and I'm telling you dengue feber seriously hurt. I had the flu a few months ago and that was a walk in the park compaired to dengue.

Our plane was overbooked so we stayed behind one more day. We really didn't mind since we as compensation tried staying in a luxury hotel with gourmet food three times a day (yum yum) and received travel vouchers worth 1200 euros combined.

But I got ill on the plane and the hotel, food, vouchers really didn't seem worth it. It took almost a month to get back on top again.

I wouldn't mind going back to Thailand though, it really is a beautiful place, but I need to wait quite a few years I think.

The next time I won't be shocked by the rascism you encounter sometimes. In general Thai people are friendly (especially if you get outside very touristy areas) but you can tell that a lot of Thai's attitude has been damaged by the tourist trade. It's in particular young men in the tourist trade that are horrible and it's sad.

I was planning on going to India this summer but my doctor thought I should wait because of the Dengue. So we are going to Japan instead (finally) :)
