you like airplane food? wow. it seams to make me vom.. not a good result on a plane. i like airplane alcohol though, so it makes up for it. ye i had to take 4 days off work to go to thailand at the same time as my work holidays. i know the pain.
how much was air asian? im paying 990 return from melbourne.im 21 (22 the day i arrive in thailand) and i am a dental nurse :)
