On the road again

Jenn left last night, leaving me completely to my own devices today. I wandered around, attempting to absorb all SE Asian things that I love. Bangkok has grown on me, it really is a fun place, and despite the way people talk about it, it has a great character. Tonight I fly to Sydney, and I am feeling more apprehensive as I realize I haven't really prepared for it. I am going to immediately start applying for job, like, I'm going to get off the plane, take a shower, change my clothes and go print of resumes and start walking into stores and cafes. I felt so much more confident about my situation before, but now, well, I guess there isn't really anything I can do about it at this point. I'll just start sorting myself out when I get there. I wish I had a pal, a "sure, crash on my couch, use my shower" kind of pal, as I can tell my money isn't going to stretch very far there. If I stayed in Cambodia I could easily live for a month or two on the money I have budgeted... which will probably get tight in about a week and a half in Sydney. I don't know... I am probably too worried. I am glad to start phase two of the adventure.
I really loved my time here. I keep on feeling this urge to come back, to linger in my favorite places for a while, several weeks, or months... I'm turning over thoughts in my mind, there are many ways that I could manage it. I have a long road ahead of me, but I'm going to really work on the possibility, make it into a reality.
Alright, the time has come for me to get my last meal of amazing cheap street food, grab my pack and head to the airport. Goodbye from Asia, I'll catch you in Oz.
