What day is it?
Well, what a journey it's been eh...
We had a long trip out of Japan, and I tell you what - the things I've seen.
First, to the family back home on the farm. You just wouldn't believe the airport. Our 'plane' had these engines on it that they say have the power of THOUSANDS OF HORSES, and what's more - it had four of them! You can imagine my shock as we hurtled down this 'runway' thing, and the damn machine lifted right up into the air! Even though we were moving quite fast, we could all move around inside quite easily - amazing... What'll they think of next?
After a long night in Taipei, we headed out to Bali and made the trip out to the island we're on. From a port north of Bali we sailed for four hours to Lombok. Miserable fishing, with me in the hold most of the time manning the bilge. We lost poor Timmy overboard in the strait, and tho the captain threw a barrel of rum overboard for him, we didn't see him again. After more buses and boats we made it to Gili Meno, um, one of those long long days last week. After a good couple of days of doing, well - nothing - I'm started to get back on an even keel. The island is pretty much like the set of a Fruju ad, with lots of palm trees, coral reefs, and the entire population of the island devoted to selling you either necklaces, sarongs, or mangoes. There's only 400 permanent residents here, so there's still a couple I haven't met.
Otherwise, life is dandy and I'm just starting to get my 'relax' on at long last.
B&M, keep an eye out for that computer of mine, it should be arriving pretty shortly. Kate, stoked that the Beasties walloped you with their rap futon beater. B - I'm supaaaaa genki, enjoy Fuji and the requisite Shochu at the top.
Your man on the tropical island,
Arch Crusoe

We got the original slips and then the photopys of the slips (you mincing bastard....) and would expect to see the lappy any day now.
Better make the most of those palm trees and mangoes cuase the british versions eg street lights and cold pork pies arent quite as photogenic.
Have a bintang with an arak chaser for us.
