Sheepish Retractions

For reference later on in our trip, here are our NOICE faces:
I'm sure you'll see more faces like that when we are caught out fumbling in our money bags.

I guess a be-grudging apology could be made to Australia Post as the parcel wasn't addressed correctly. However I do not retract that they are bastards - we all know they are.

Next time we speak we will be in Thailand. Queen Dan has decided he will meet us for four days over the APEC long weekend (good move Dan), which is very exciting.

Wish us luck!

Australia Post: The Dream Crusher

Please hold hands over ears while we defame the treasured employees of Australia Post.

We bought a camera on Ebay last week and had it forwarded to Sydney by Express Post last Wednesday. Today it is Monday and I have had word from Australia Post that the parcel arrived in Sydney last Thursday but didn't make it to our house - and is lost.

Can't help but think that someone will be receiving a fabulous Father's Day gift this year... b*stards.

We hope to rectify asap so that some photos are posted with our blog. After all, noone wants to listen to all that drunken rambling without at least one fuzzy photograph of someone's bare bottom.

Stay tuned!

Hello! Welcome to our holiday blog.

We will be landing in the Land of Smiles on Monday 3 September at 8:00pm Thai time. At this stage our plans are flimsy at best, but we hope to complete a circuit of Indochina before we leave.

"Doy un chay", the namesake of this little blog, means "I eat vegetables" in Vietnamese. As you would all know, Damo and I (like all Australians) are fully conversant in tonal languages, and have certainly not already been asked why we need a hairbrush with our rabbit during a rehearsal at our local Vietnamese restaurant. We're completely confident that everything is going to go just fine.

Through this blog we intend to share with you the very special parts of our one-month sojourn. For example, we're sure you can't wait to hear exactly how far a ping pong ball can be ejected from...

Perhaps we'll do more savoury things too. We're keenly aware of parental readership, but then again perhaps they're not the people we'll offend. After all, if we are not a product of our parental guidance, what are we?
