Well hello again
It has been a couple of days since my last update mainly due to the fact that i have been violently ill, sick and tired. It has been a hell couple of days with most of the days activities including sleeping in my bed and now and then making visits to the bathroom to be sick. Other than this minor set back i have been ok, missing everybody back home already, especially a few people who are very close to me. This is a constant feeling that i have been getting mostly because my mind has not been occupied at all and its the best thing in my life at the moment that i can think of. Otherwise i have found the limit of how fun the internet can be. Somewhere around here is someones wireless and i have been able tap into their high speed broadband, this has been a great bonus for us - however, but both ryan and i have suddenly lost interest in it because it is so readily available and we can so freely use it - The internet has lost its appeal!!!

Anyways on a much happier note today ryan and i went for a walk to go and see an Imax movie but on the way we got lost along the way and after finding ourselves on a straight road we thought we would just follow it so that we if we got even more lost it was easy to find home. But then the funniest thing happened - we found ourselves in town and we thought we would hire some bikes because we had had enough of walking and the only place close enough to our position was Central Train Station which was covered in a sea of bikes. We ventured into the station to try and find were we could find the bike hire and what do u know but our aussie mate Ben Price walks straight into us! I was shocked, Ryan was shocked and Ben was cacking his dacks, none of us could believe it that in the middle of this place and at that exact moment of time Ben got of his train after coming from Australia only to run into his team mates. Its both really creepy and funny!

Well that was the extent of the adventures today, i am feeling much better now - i am able to eat again and my head isn’t hurting anymore just an anannoying cough and stuffy nose. Nothing Subway alot of water and some drugs couldn’t fix!!! (cold and flew drugs by the way!!)
Until next time…
PeAcE OuT !!!!!!!
