I'm going to leave tomorrow (!). That would be Sunday. Tomorrow. I guess, Today, really. You can guess the state of my packing.

i have consulted The GuideBooks, and oh! there is so much good stuff to see and do.

My parents should maybe form a Plan Ahead club. It could also be called the Better Safe Than Sorry club. They would have mottos and mailing lists of bad things that happen to solo travellers, and for club meetings, they could spend time following travellers around telling them about all the bad people waiting to take advantage of them.

Seriously... i know that planning is good, and safety, and everything. I've just received many many warnings from everyone i know and I am fairly sure that I will never trust anyone ever again. I pointed out that this may scar me for life, but I was reminded that at least i will be alive.

i will write soon! from the other side of the world! woo!
