Back to Australia

My time in Mae Sot is over, and on to other things now. Overall, it's been a brilliant experience and I feel very priveledged to have been a part of these young people's lives for a short time. It's been really rewarding, on many levels, and I'd reccommend it to anyone who was considering a volunteer position. Doing something for someone else is the best way of doing something for yourself...

I had to get from Mae Sot down to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, to fly home. On the way I spent a night and two days in a little place called Ban Kruit, on the south east coast of Thailand. It was great to have a bit of time to think after living in such a busy house. The little harbour was full of fishing boats, there was a temple on the hill, a perfect excuse to spend 2 days taking photos! The swimming was nice too.



I had a swim at dawn on Ban Kruit beach, so I made a self-portrait. I'm not going to get in a habit of doing this.


 
Coming in over Australia with Air Asia - a much better airline than I had expected.
Back home - Ballina beach.

So now, back home in Australia, there's the next phase of life to consider, and money to be made.
Whatever I do, I'll try not to fall into too much routine. There's got to be more to life...
