Back in Melbourne

Home sweet home! ;-) Bookmark to:

I might be arriving tonight!

Just spoke to El-Al’s Bangkok office and they said that there is a good chance that I’ll be able to board the flight, so I’m going to grab brunch and head off to the airport. I’ll be in stand-by, but hopefully I’ll get on the flight. Hope to see some of you tonight ;p Bookmark [...]

Administrative stuff

Firstly, please don’t SMS me here unless it is important. It costs me almost $2 per SMS sent and received. Secondly, to clarify any emails I may have sent — I’m arriving either on the 3rd, or the 6th of September, with El-Al flight LY84,  which lands at 23:20 at Terminal 3. I’ll let you [...]

Bangkok, take III

Arrived late last night into the hot, humid and polluted swamp that is Bangkok. I don’t dislike this city, but I very much hope I can get on the earlier flight to Israel (3rd of September) because I seriously don’t know how I’ll spend the time here until the 6th. Its too little time to [...]

Already?

I’m not even within a week’s radius of landing in Israel and already I’m pissed at Israelis again. Why? Because while sitting at the airport waiting for my flight I hear that every time they page for late passengers there are always Israeli names included, always. Do you realize how small the percentage of passengers [...]

Waiting for my flight…

Sitting here in Sydney’s airport, waiting for my flight to board in about an hour and a half.  These days with Gabe were great, and I should definitely arrange to visit more. Bangkok, here I come! To be continued… Bookmark to:

A chip and a chair

Just came back from a lovely night with Meg and Gabe, which started with an amazing meal at a restaurant called the Red Lantern and ended with me tying a game at the PokerDome, winning $85 having re-built my stack from 125 in chips to most of the chips on the table. Truth be told [...]

All packed and ready to go

Flying out in 14 hours… Can’t wait! Bookmark to:

Itinerary update

I finally have a partially confirmed itinerary! Flight out of Sydney to Bangkok on the 30th of August, confirmed (finally) with British Airways. Flying out from Bangkok to Tel-Aviv on the 3rd of September (still on the waiting list) with El-Al flight LY084, due to arrive at 23:20 Israel time. I’m also on the waiting [...]

Melbourne again

Melbourne is a beautiful city, well laid out and relaxed. To me, Sydney was much like Los Angeles — seedy and unkempt, with some exceptions such as the Circular Quay, The Rocks area, Annandale, Sydney University and King St. in Newtown. One could enjoy touring the urban decay, but I would not like to live [...]
