• Adam : [writing in diary]  Amazing Thailand, 6,000 miles. Another continent, another culture, another planet. Great feeling to be leaving England behind. Don't know what to expect, but hoping for something new.

  Adam : Thailand was Kate's idea to develop our relationship. But driving from the airport, Bangkok didn't quite seem what we'd expected. Somehow I'd imagined something less concrete. Less western.
