Leaving NZ

I am flying to Australia this afternoon. Im staying in Sydney for 3 nights then I fly to Bangkok. I had to book a ticket to Singapore for 30 days after I arrive in Thailand. After traveling for a little while I have realized that its always great and exciting to see new places, but the people I meet are what really changes me. Everyday I meet new people, most of whom I will never see again, and that is the best part about traveling. Its a little depressing knowing I will never see most of these people again, but its still great to socialize with people from all over the world. Some of the people I have the most in common with are from places completely foreign to me.
