To be honest, I just wanted a proper welcoming back. Oooh, selfish me.

Yeah, I got back from Thailand a week ago, and my computer got resurrected just today, so I thought it would be appropriate to drop in and see how everything and everyone was doing. And to tell you all I'm so fantastic, too.

Truth is, I don't know how much I'll be around in the future. The next two weeks are completely free for me, so it's pretty much a given I'll be bored enough to hang around a lot. After that I've got a two-week biology field trip, and then school starts again. That's the tricky one. The question is, do I have the self restriction to avoid the Oddworld Forums and other online distractions to do my schoolwork? I didn't last year, and I paid the price for it in lessons. I want to live up to my potential next year, so I should bring things down a notch, but I really don't want to leave. That just seems … a bit rude of me, I guess.

But anyway, the important thing is that I had a kickass month in Thailand. We trekked through the hills and jungle of Chiang Dao, visited the Bridge Over the River Kwai and Hellfire Pass, spent a short week with an Akha hilltribe, lending a hand building their new sala (sheltered platform), then just chilled in Jomtien on the south coast for the rest of the trip, quite near to the seedy Pattaya. Very seedy. Go go bars, ladyboys, and the unforgettable Boyz Town. Tee hee hee. There's a website I'm putting together for our parents and friends to showcase the group's diaries and photos, just a blog, really. I'll give the address when it's viewable.

Great to be back amongst such great people. Keep up the general awesomeness.

:eek: Wow....that's-that's a lot'a names thar, Max.
But yeah. Welcome back! Might not know each other well, but to be nice. ;)
Once again, welcome back! Hope you had a kick-ass time in Thailand!

Welcome back Max! In the time you were away Xavier came back... left again, came back again, left again, came back again and left... again.

But anyway, feel warmly welcomed.;)

Mmm... Thai food. :lick:

Welcome back, old chum.

Welcome back, ye olde mod. ;) Hope you had a great time.

Hello Max. I love you.

Woo hoo! My best Oddbuddy in the world is back!

Welcome back Max! I miss having you around. The GOD was slightly off without having seeing your replyes with those great theorys and interesting views you come up with :p

Enyjoy your come back.

Welcome back, Max! Thailand sounds like a lot of fun-I'd love to visit there sometime! But then again......I want to visit EVERYWHERE! :D Anyway, it's good to see you back here. I agree with Oddish-GD seemed.....different without your replies. ;)

Thailand sounded great! International travel kicks ass!

It's good to have the God of Odd back. I've missed you Max, you have just the most incredible knowledge of Oddworld ever, and you're a great guy, so welcome back.

Ooh, still the God of Oddworld knowledge, thank the cosmos for that.

Thanks all, great to be back and see you all again. Thailand gave me my first taster of proper international travel and spending time in foreign places - it was a real eye opener, and I'm glad I got to see that there really are other countries and cultures and environments out there. I highly recommend getting out and about to everyone, even if it doesn't involve trekking up vertical slopes of mud … which I got to do!

Oh well - China next summer.

Is this like on Blankety Blank? If so, I guess 'black'!
