To volunteer or not to volunteer...
So, I've pretty much sorted a volunteering opportunity for Thailand which is cool - need to do a bit of research on the organisation first as there doesn't seem to be much about them, they're called 'Original Volunteers' - ever heard of them? Anyway, they (for a small fee) will help to place me in a school in rural Thailand, and sort out somewhere for me to stay for a couple of weeks, most likely with a family that sends their child to the school and then I get to help at the school, Monday - Friday for 2 weeks. It all sounds alright to me - have been e-mailing a guy who volunteered with them last year and he said its basic but he had a great time, I can do basic. He also said the co-ordinator, Suvanna, is nice, but you have to stay on the right side of her...I can do that. Anyway, if I decide to go ahead with this, I part with the cash tomorrow and then its booked for a few weeks in to my trip...quite looking forward to it actually.
I have also picked up my Malaria tablets and the pharmacist assured me that by wearing a high factor sun screen, my skin should remain unblotchy and fine, so here's hoping, I'm sure there will be pictures to show if he is incorrect.
Leaving party is happening in a couple of weeks...not gonna give away what I am going dressed as, but the black body paint arrived in the post yesterday...I am pretty excited about my choice of dress...considering I generally hate fancy dress events.
Well, I am at work, on my lunch break and time is nearly up. I have eaten my banana and just have a crispy cake remaining...might quickly see if I can decide on somewhere to stay in Singapore...the people I booked my flight with have sent me some options with the cheapest being £54 for one night...might see if I can find a slightly more budget version of that...

I have ordered a bag to take with me travelling, its probably one of the most impractical type things to take, but I think I am going to love it...it arrived yesterday, but I wasn't in, so is being redelivered tomorrow...
