I'm people-watching in Bangkok Airport. I can't quite believe I'm here. It's so so different from last time. Or more correctly, I'm so diffrent. I've watched numerous young travellers go through with the wide-eyed excitement at the prospect of months of travel in the unknown of SE Asia, just how I felt when I first came here 13 months ago. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited to be here too, but it's different. There's still lots of adventure and discovery to be done, but it's not all shiny and new. I've more of an idea of what to expect, I'm going back to places I've been before and now know reasonably well. And that's a nice feeling too.
Not so nice a feeling is my stomach that's been knotted up by a Thai Airways inflight meal combined with the 12-hour non-stop longhaul (note to self: stick with Emirates, they rock). My ankles are swollen like an overweight granny's, and I'm sleeping in an airport for the first time.
Yep, loving it.
