Liquorice (or licorice, if you’re an Aussie) is not black but very, very dark green. You discover this the day after you’ve eaten a full bag of it and notice the water in the loo is a rather strange colour.

Urgh
Eating a whole pot of “Hot” spicy tomato salsa and an enormous bag of chips for lunch is not as good an idea as it will have seemed beforehand.

You can tell you’ve been using the internet for too long when…
…you spot a business called “my doctor” and assume it must be Malaysian.
I’ll let the geeks amongst you figure that one out.

Today’s random fact
One of those daft thoughts kicking around in my head ended up in a little bit of internet research this afternoon. Why do we (the Brits) abbreviate “pound” weights to “lb”?
It turns out, it’s from the Latin word libra, meaning “scales”. Which makes sense. It seems the Romans also used a unit of weight similar to our pound which they also called a libra. The Latin for “weight” is pondus, hence our word “pound”.
Told you it was random.

Apologies and updates
I’ve noticed the blog has turned into pretty much a review-fest over the last few weeks (when I’ve posted), but hopefully I’ll change this shortly. With being “stuck” in Myanmar, I’ve not been able to update so often and my brain-drainings haven’t made their way as far as a keyboard.
However, I’m sat in Kuala Lumpur LCCT (the budget terminal, basically) awaiting a flight to Oz. Hopefully while I’m there I’ll have a little spare time to whack some crap up on here as well as keep the Travel Blog updated.
Do keep the comments coming. Regulars will know I always do my best to reply! Even if you’re talking ****…
Oh, and as an aside I do with the guy opposite me eating his McD‘s would do it with his ******* mouth shut. ****, what do Asian mothers teach their children? None of the children I worked with at Blue Dragon chewed with their mouths open. Yuck.
