Hello!

I thought i better move this thing on from the depressing top post it is currently at. I am now in Boston where it is 96 degrees Farenheit or 36 degrees Celsius; having literally come from two jumpers and overcoat weather in Canada it was a shock to the system. Here in Boston everyone seems tough and irish and Catholic and they all where the name 'Boston' somewhere on there clothing; can't imagine walking around home with 'Brisbane' emblazoned on my t-shirt and cap. The hostel i am staying in is pretty expensive (a Boston policy it seems) but it is nice and has a TV in the room that i roasted in last night. The manager, to my amusement, is 9 parts Norman Bates and 1 part Norman Bates' Mother which for those of you who have seen Hitchcock's Psycho means 10 parts crazy. When checking in he thought it apporiate to stall for 5 minutes, dead still and gentle sway to the chords of Them coming over the radio; freaked me out a little bit.

Either way things are fine. It is planned to go to Harvard this evening and meet up with one of Liz's many globally mobile friends. That should be cool.

Katie, she tells me, is lazing about the beaches of Thailand at the same location that 'The Beach' was filmed. Today she goes to the limestone cliff that the young DiCaprio jumps from in the film. Pretty awesome.

Hope everyone is keeping well,

Love david xoxoxoxo

p.s. 5 or 6 days till France depending on what hemisphere you're in. Bloggers will unite!

first comment yes!!!

The manager sounds like an honest, polite, hard working young man then (which i suppose isn't actually being sarcastic is it?) post-irony is sweeping the world.

did you go to harvard? is it big? was that a stupid question?

i saw pirates the other night. it was a bit long...but johnny gave his best cap'n jack performance (hilarious) and keef just seemed to roll with it and steal the show.

well stay out of the way of gangsters, and its great you will see katie soon!

love sig
