Stuff I have realised whilst in Asia
- Hong Kong is my least favourite Asian destination
- Cambodia is a great backpacker destination
- Malaysia is much better beach destination than Thailand
- Thai Airways sucks
- I don’t like roasted sunflower seeds with dried anchovies
- Angkor, Tiger, Chang and Singha are all good beers
- Tequila can be shot with lime instead of lemon
- People buying charter packages to Asia and Tailand is getting ripped off, accommodation is soooo cheap if you book online or get a guesthouse
- Malaysia have bottled drinking water approved according to EU standards
- Women has a strong sense of smell then men
- Elephant shit smells like cow shit….well..shit smells like shit…
- You can get templed out
- Backpacking is a great way to network with people from all over the world
- James thinks I have a German accent
- I feel safer driving a tuk-tuk or moto in Cambodia than in a Malay taxi
- Malay hospitals are very good, and the emergency is empty early on a Saturday morning….??..(No mom I wasn’t sick, just getting malaria tablets)
- Irish, Scandos, POMs and Germans are everywhere
- Irish girls aren’t as ugly as Noel claims, the ones I have meet are all awesome in every way (get your mind out of the gutter…!).

POMs are everywhere - well, there are more of them than there are of you SPEWs: South Pacific European Wannabes.

SPEWs? That’s a new one..I’m assuming that South Pacific European Wannabes are referring to Australians/New Zealanders..!? That’s not a very nice word.. I know that some people don’t like the term POMs either. So I’m sorry if that offended you.
For the record; I’m not an European wannabe, I’m a Scando and very much European…and we are know for travel a lot. Which I think is a very good thing as it raises the awareness in young girls and boys for other cultures, religions and ways of living.
