Decisions, Decisions

In late September I leave for an adventure of a lifetime. My dream of four years is finally coming true. Yes, drum roll please... I am going to SOUTH EAST ASIA. I wanted to go so bad in second year and had already missed the deadline for arranging an exchange with Western that I started arranging a study abroad for myself... why? because I'm like that and what Jules wants, Jules needs to at least attempt to get (yes, I just referred to myself in third person).

I called Chulalongkorn University in Thailand on my cellphone while in London, Ontario. You can imagine the conversation:
me: "Hello, do you speak English?"
Thailand: "...uhhh, yeees, how can help yew?"
me: "I would like to go on exchange at your university"
Thailand: "uuhh..."
me: "I woooouuld liiikke tooo go on exchaaange at your uniiversity"
Thailand: "ohh, payment? yew like to make pay to university?"
Me: "uuuuuugh." followed by a hanging up of the telephone.

well. I tried.

September I leave for Hong Kong and will be joined by my friend Selina who I met at Western in our lovely Seminar class on the Politics of Media Production or... whatever it was called. Sooo glad we met! We will fly to Thailand in October and join a group of adventurous travellers with the company "Beach Travellers". We are so stoked. Following a month of travel riding on elephants, hopping from paradise beach to beach and buying 2 dollar buckets of booze (so i hear), we will head on over to Laos. Here we will probably take part in the Gibbon experience where we zipline tree house to tree house and sleep for a couple days in the middle of the Rainforest (that's if we don't chicken out of course). Following, we will head to Cambodia, Vietnam, Singapore and end our travels in Indonesia (Bali, Java...the works). We head home mid December, just in time for cold weather, Santa Clause, Christmas Carols and, of course, Christmas presents.

I already know its going to be an adventure of a lifetime.

However, I'm still deciding what to do in Late January/ Early February. My friend Alia- who I also met at Western is down to come traveling. We hope to live either in Spain or South America for a good three months then travel and explore for a bit after- that's if we have not run out of money! - ohh and if you are thinking "what a spoiled brat, her parents are probably paying for it" YOU BETTER SHUT YOUR MOUTH, because i've been saving for two years now.

so where should I go? Spain or South America?

oohhh to be a baby in my twenties... DECISIONS, DECISIONS.
