Travelling through China and South East Asia with 6 mates.
Some quotes so far:

1. "Lads, one of us got sick everywhere in the jax cos there"s Chinese food all over the place" - Leo, after we just had Chinese food in China.

2. "Do you know if you spit on the ground in China you get slaped in the face........Actually no, everyone spits on the ground" Maybe me.

3. Some Swiss guy: "Do you have a saying in Ireland for Cheers or enjoy your meal?" Me: "Yea, Bon Apetite" SG: "Isn"t that French?" Me "Yep" End of conversation!

4. Murphy (about some Vietnamese lady selling steamed crab on the beach): "Here, who wants some of that crab stuff. You actually can"t go wrong with steam. Fact"

5. James: "You know, back in the 60s, instead of Trocaire boxes, they actually had a little boy gollywog head where you put the money on the tongue and the little kid would swallow the money. My mam told me" Me: "Shut up James. There"s no way they had them" James:"No seriously, they did. I actually think they had them in churches" Ciaran butts in:"I think James is right. I remember being on holidays and getting a little head where these sweets would pop out of their mouth" Me:"They were PEZ sweets Ciaran. Where you push back a cartoon head and get a little sweet" Ciaran:"No, I definately got sweets from a Gollywog head" Stevo laughed for about 2 hours. No joke.

6. Some Irish woman to James:"Your so black. How long have you been away?" James:"Thats just from a few days in the sun" Irish woman:"What happened to your mate then(Murphy). His face is like a milk bottle" (Murphys been having a tanning competition with all of us from day 1)

7. Scully (putting on his wetsuit just before we go scuba diving): "Does this look ok?" Instructor: "Yea but it"s on backwards"

8. Having an argument with the Hotel porter about all coming back in one group so as to only wake him once. Stevo:"You cant"t expect us all to come back at the same time. How many rooms have you got here, 200?" Hotel Porter:"No, 11" Stevo:"Fair enough"

9. After we were all wrecked from scuba diving. Ciaran:" Fuck that for a game of soldiers" All of us:"What does that mean?" Ciaran:"Not sure. Probably some lad was playin soldiers and he was wrecked after it"

10. Leo to Ciaran as he"s taking the pinapple off his Hawaiann Pizza:" What are you takin all that off for"? Ciaran:"Cos I like the flavour but I don"t like the taste"

11. Some New Zealand Guy:"Where bouts in Ireland are you from"? Murphy:"Dublin. A Town just north along the beach. It"s good for surfing and drying clothes"

12. At Cu Chi Tunnels where they were selling these massive size 25 sandals made from rubber tyres. Me:"Why do they make them so big"? Tour Guide:"They"re just souvenirs". Felt unbelieveably stupid.

13. Murphy after seeing Paddys Day Photos on someones Bebo page on the 15th March: "Whats goin on. How is there new Paddys Day Photos up already......Oh, is it Paddys day in Australia now?" Then I told him Paddys day isn"t till Saturday, the 17th. And he goes "How do you know?" I said cos it"s always on March 17th and he goes "Oh".

14. "There"s a time and a place for sleeping. Like, I couldn"t sleep late at night" Murphy after having a conversation about people and their comforts.
