No sooner did I get back home than I've left again. Not sure if that makes any sense but I'll think about it later.
I'm in Cherating at the moment and have been for two days so far. Very nice, came here about 15 years ago and was a bit dissapointed with it after being spoilt by the beaches of Southern Thailand. Now it's much more built up and curiously enough more pleasant to my tastes.
Leaving tomorrow for the Perhentian Islands.
Not much of a travelogue is it.

Back Home
So many confusing things to write about on an exceptionally poor connection, on a laptop, on a friends floor on South London.
For a start we're supposed to head for Malaysia in a week or so but I'm struggling t consider t moral implications of holidaying at such a time so close to the centre of the devestation. We've looked int volunteering but they are encouraging people to give money and stay away from the worst places and still go to the nearby places which depend on the proceeds of tourism.
Plus there's the whole being back thing which looks incredibly self indulgent on the same page as moral considerations about the tsunami but...what wouldn't.
Hopefully I'll find a better connection and a more conducive environment soon but if not, I'll suffer alone.
