All told, I spent a wonderful 2 weeks in Perth. The city itself wouldn't have kept me that long, but the people were grand. I'll miss you all...
Greg
Greg inspired me to come to Perth when I met him my first night in Bangkok. He's continued to be a friend and although we spent only a few days together in his hometown, he was so generous picking me up at the airport at 5:30am, touring around the Swan Valley with me and giving more tips on my upcoming trip to the Middle East.
Meiling and Amy
Our friendship started at a vegitarian food stall in Luang Prabang, Laos. Only having met them for 1 day and 1/2, I knew their offer to get together in Perth was sincere, but their hospitality far exceeded my expectations.
I so enjoyed everything I did with these ladies together and individually from concerts to conversation. Meiling went out of her way to make sure I had friends and Amy was kind enough to let me stay with her as an honorary roommate.
Tom, Patrick and Nick
These Kiwi brothers and Aussie put up with me hanging around there house for two weeks - using their internet, cooking in the kitchen, etc. I had a great time chatting with them as well as venturing out to see Vanilla Ice, to the movies or just hanging around home.
The Self-Proclaimed "Asian Babes"
Meiling's cousins took me in as their own and thanks to them there are A MILLION pictures of me on Facebook.com now. I've never felt so instantly included in a group of longtime friends and family.
I'll miss you all...Thank you!
