My Extremely Rough Plan of my trip is on google maps. I was going to embed the map, but when I'm trying to access my blog on a computer made from a piece of cardboard, a boomerang and a passing Muay Thai master, I thought it might be unable to handle it. That is all.

A Note on Style

For people not accustomed to my writing style, I'd like to introduce the strange world of how I type and perhaps my various thought processes. Possibly in bullet point form:

• Although sometimes it may appear I am depressed, or forlorn, or similar, I am in fact just overally emotive as I like that style of writing.
• I tend to drift off onto tangents, ramblings and attempt to write about something in a manner that's not typical. I also sound pretentious.
• I often make up words that sound vaguely correct, or extend certain roots to words that are nonsense but often seem to make sense. I can't think of any now.
• I sometimes write in the third person. This is mainly to amuse myself, and not some deeply rooted attempt at having a superiority complex.
• This blog is written to be child, adult, and relative friendly. I hope.
• I normally write this sort of thing in a coffee shop, after too much caffeine, so its level of sensology could possibly be askew.
• Black. No Sugar. No Milk.
  

Finally I shall leave you with how Rachel describes my writing style:

"humoristique, quelquefois assez 'geeky'...I don't know, just natural, funny, slightly eccentric...humour and sarcasm and info and emotastic doodles"

or as Dan said:

"I like your blog it's largely irrelevant gobalgygook"
