The 5000 Project

Well, tomorrow I fly out at 8pm from perth international airport.

At this stage I just want to be on the plane. A little anxious waiting to get out there, considering how amazing my last big trip was I’m also wondering how this one can match it. Crazy talk really, I’m sure it will be an awesome experience.

Main thing is to try a different route compared to last time and get to europe with enough funds to survive, possibly sticking around in china for a while to figure out the europe transition (and to figure out visas). See what happens.

Anyhow, I have packed the bag. Everytime I travel I seem to pack lighter and lighter, this time I’m not even taking shoes as my last trip they were stuck in the bag most of the time – once I hit the cold climated countries I’ll upgrade my bag and stuff it full of warm clothes, It’s going to be interesting experiencing true cold for the first time – far too conditioned to perth and south east asian climate :|

Over the last few days I have familiarized myself with client/server opensource netcafe software, the software along with anti-spyware/virus applications will be on a thumbdrive – the plan is to liberate the unsuable computers in many of the hostels in asia, in exchange for possibly free accommodation/food. See what happens, it could also be far too much effort for the reward :P
