          @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!

                                Anyone ever in Nottingham looking for the perfect Banh Mi, I recommend Boulangerie de Saigon. Bit of a wait but the bread is baked daily - super tasty!

                                      @T4920 the egg coffee is also top notch! BDS is in the Snienton Market just around the corner from Neon Raptor. The cakes with homemade marshmallow were also tempting, but I was stuffed!

                                        @IH-GARY love an egg coffee! Neon Raptor is always my first stop in Nottingham, grandparents used to live in Snienton so always used to pass through the market.

                                        Also love Black Iris brewery just outside the city and Junkyard Bar for drinks around town 👌
