Departure Day

It's my first time blogging! I have always been averse to blogs, as the thought of putting my thoughts and feelings out there for everyone to see is kind of terrifying. But I want to record my trip to Thailand and provide an easy way for friends and family to keep track of my activities and whereabouts. The title of this blog is taken from an excellent piece of advice I got from the Montreal General Hopsital Travel Clinic's advice on avoiding illness in foreign countries. Don't drink the water, don't eat fruit with the peels on, avoid prison. Will do. I think it is a good motto for life.

Only a couple of hours before I make my way to the airport and begin more than 24 hours of travelling! Next stop, Hong Kong!
