The night before

Sunset from a planeI catch the plane at 9:20am. Preparations have been arduous.

I’ve been tipped off that a handy way of dealing with people hassling you for money is to say you don’t have enough, but instead offer a cigarette and a light. I’ll give feedback on this. Of course, carrying around boxes of fags with me could turn me into a forty a day nicotine addict, but I hope not.

Uhm – what else to say. I’m kind of waiting for my MP3 player to finish loading itself up. Damn slow thing – dunno what Philips were thinking of when they designed the interface. Remind me next time to get an Archos – it has a simpler design that doesn’t need special software. So I can change the contents easily wherever I am.

Right – all done! My next posting will be from Peru. Woo! Or maybe Newark airport if I’m bored and have the time….
