The plans going OK. My Aunt has been informed of my departure. I managed to put some savings into a European Mutual Fund, moments before the markets started crashing. I've aquired a few bits I'll need. I bought a quality Victorinox Penknife, a rain poncho, I used my supermarket loyalty points for a maglite torch, and nearly have enough for a new bag. Funny as I was in the supermarket yesterday thinking about a new bag, and the one I was wearing broke as I walked along. I also got a very cheap shirt and tie, to go over borders and in case the chance of any NGO work comes up. I'm both nervous and excited. The flight is ten hours, just over, and I'm going to take some pictures I need to colour, some mp3's. Perhaps ten small snack treats so I can pace them hourly.
The airline said I have to buy an onward ticket from Hong Kong before I can board. I've tried to buy a boat to Maccau four times now but the site doesn't work, so this is becoming a concern.
I'm in a dilema whether to keep my old but working camera or get a new one. I've been using the one I have to copy lots of study books to save me carrying them, so it gets a lot of wear and tear.
I bought 200 American dollars, all small bills, new and crispy, for tips and bribes.
Oooohhhhh, money's a worry though. Mixed feelings generally at this stage. Is it all going to work out. It's a long-shot overall plan.
