Dacruz - World Travels 2005!

Morning all.

I was on my IM earlier today holding thee seperate conversations and laughing at how hectic it was getting when a new window popped up adding to the confusion. I thought who the.. and it was Dacru!!

As you hear people say, it was only yesterday I was thinking of so-and-so then out of the blue they called. Well yesterday I was thinking of DC and today he pops up...

from an internet cafe in Thailand!

As some will be aware he announced a while back that he was going travelling and his avatar read[s]:

Anyway, he didn't have much time but I thought some might be interested in the converstaion. For those interested I shall post any further correspondence, but here's the chat we had earlier. [Fabian=DC]

So there you go, our friend DC is doing fine and having the experience of a lifetime. I'll post anything further if he wishes and next time the link to this thread - see if he can pop in and say hi.

Jak

How cool is that!

Its great to see what he's up to and looking at the pictures from the chat he's in a beautiful place.

If you get time to visit this thread dacrus, make sure you take lots of picture as we'll all be here waiting to welcome you back

That really is a sweet deal. I'd love to go travel like that. Just be by myself going anywhere. Really awesome. Definitely some great pictures right there, I'm totally envious.

Sawasdee Khap!

wow, JAK thanks

I have some really great pictures. They are on my SD Card in my camera and they are all about 2048xXXXX or something...I will resize the best and post them here, when I am back home...Well thats on 3rd August. I am in Thailand and Laos since the 4 June.

Everbody, come to this country! Its totally amazing! The people in Thailand are so friendly and helpful. They always smile ...and its cheap for students like me. I spend about 10 to 15 US Dollar a day...food, water and room included. I just worked for 10 months in Germany | Civil Service, LowBudget...earned about 360 to 450 Euro a month |, thats enough for me to spend 2 months in Thailand and Laos!

Peace from the east!

DC...You are a freakin legend dude!!!....and jak's is a legend for putting your convo up!

Have an awesome time mate and enjoy yourself...just try and stay out of those dodgy opium dens...oh and remember if the chicks got big hands and an adams apple....well...you know the rest......unless our really drunk then it might be ok.....it only hurts the once!!....(jak's told me)

laters bro.




Remember DC....its adam and eve...not adam and steve!

You BIG GI!!!!

Yeah - He's been popping in and out on our Music board (see my sig)

It sounded like a blast when he filled me in on the details pre-trip, but now that I'm getting all the juicy details it sounds like he's having one hell of a time (And all for pocket change at that!)

Dacruz! You're a Thai millionaire man!

Now where's my postcard you promised me?! Maybe the delivery boy is still paddling his way across the ocean....I kiiiid.....I kiiiid....

What time in the morning are you guys getting him on IM?? Well....I guess since your across the pond JAK you might have a better chance of seeing him when he's online...

Well - At any rate - Keep it up man! We want to see those pictures!

Thats the boat I took for two days on the Mekong River from LUANG PRABANG to HOUAY XAI


Usual little towns in Laos...

That's a Guesthouse in KANCHANABURI (River Kwai Bridge town) I payed 200 Baht a night..about 4 Euro.


Some Buddha statues...





Thats the famous BANG PA IN..The King's Palace, around AYUTTHAYA.


Thats in AYUTTHAYA...The three towers, the city symbol. Night shot.

dc

That's awesome DC, I'm happy for you...

I wonder how much a piece of waterfront property over there would cost?


Congratulations on your safe vacation, looks like you had a blast!

Thanks TL!

I really had a blast man!

I want to return to these amazing countrys...I just have to finish my work here in Germany (one year left) and then...goodbye Europe! If possible for a few year's...If not, a few months again
