      What an epic trip!

        @Mizmazzle the 33b story is epic! When I travelled south east asia in 2017 for a couple months stuff like this happened so often, people you knew for a day spend a whole night helping you out with stuff you f'd up yourself out of pure kindness.

          @FlavourFade I was in SEA for the first half of 2017 too, we may have crossed paths!

                    @FlavourFade I was in Thai lland December 2016 with a friend, then when he went home I went in to Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and then back to Thailand. Flew to Australia and did a working holiday for a year, then continued the backpacking in Asia with Timor Leste, Indonesia and Japan before heading home.

                    Was away from the UK for almost two years, and I came home with more money than I left with because I was constantly working in Aus!

                    Such an amazing trip, so glad I did it while I had the chance 🙏

                    Nowadays I try to go back to that part of the world once a year, it's usually Northern Thailand because it's my absolute favourite. I can find the perfect balance of new experiences, familiarity, adventure and relaxation there!

                      @T4920 now we talking!! Sounds more than epic. I was in Australia and NZ right before SEA, but did not work in that time... Saved money, quit the job and just travelled, came back with nothing left but great stories, new friends and a lot of awesome memories. I wish I could visit SEA more often, been only once in indonesia since then, but too many troubles in my life the last years. Getting more quiet now and slowly I'm getting my girlfriend closer to the idea of setting her feet in a plane.

                              @FlavourFade @Brian thanks dudes!! By far my longest session. But then I’d say he was on the slow side. I did my whole chest when I was in Costa Rica. Only took 5 hours.

                                    i'm continually amazed at how doener kebab isnt a big thing or even a thing in the US

                                    Definitely agree with Germany for all sorts of kebab (doener pizza anyone??) but have also had some great ones in Vienna. Even a pretty decent one in Tokyo.

                                      That looks fuckin’ awesome! I like the colours and how it wraps around your arm. That was a long time to sit in the chair but was definitely worth it. When I got my dragon and frog done in Hanoi in January, it took about 9 hours with a lunch break. I love the chaos of the Old Quarter and wandering the streets, drinking coffee and eating amazing food. It looks like you and the missus have had a wonderful trip with many memories to last for years to come!
