I am Thompson Boy

Till Istanbul and then who knows. Bought a way one ticket and not looking back. This shit just got real.

Sale or not, these days nothing will really make me excited. Not even when my usual fav haunts of website is on sale, not even that big beautiful bag on markdown. In fact the last summer, I escaped and unsubscribed from anything that might lure me back to where I used to. But like it or not, there are some things that I need to gather for the trip next week and this includes some clothes that are not really cheap. I really do wished the outdoor clothing type will catch up with fashion stream - everything is just way too manly for my taste. Not to say I will be wearing lace and pink with my backpack but the last time I went on a trip, I was smelly, hair was messy, wearing black raincoat with black waterproof pants - get this - its those pants that you can zip off and become shorts. Fashion queens of the world will scream when they see it. The Internet are divided - some people think it's stupid and you don't have to dress like an extra from Crocodile Hunter in order to travel...

A friend remarked that she see these boxes all the time when she's with me - well it's actually itinerary planner that I drew out myself based on the number of days that I will be holidaying around. I believe it started when I was planning my first major India trip. Then I used it as an outline for New Zealand as well. Anything like 4 days/short weekend getaway thing don't need this and whoever said holiday is a breeze have seen nothing yet. Might sound like a Nazi but actually the timing is quite flexible but because it is such a short holiday without planning you might end up missing some nice spots and doing some nice stuff. Just go with the flow will only work if you are doing a RTW trip.
