I think it was more the idea of leading a lone, and possibly jetlagged-fuelled, certainly alien, existence in a hotel room in Asia which inspired thoughts of the film... Although quite whether I am Bill, or Scarlett, or the jazz singer in the hotel bar remains to be seen. the world is in my hotel room, and cool (in both senses). the world outside is probably very very very very humid INDEED.

But if so, which aged man with falling apart life would you rejuventate and who would play him? And would he smoke in public? x How about Lost in Translation II: The Transposition, making the Jazz singer the leading lady in Penang (possibility of reintroducing Japanese theme via holidaymakers).

So if the World blows up NOW (or in 24 hours) you can jettison the 'jet lagged' idea and start SMUG thinking, "I lived x numbers of hours more than UK". That is of course if you've not been blown up and are now part of the cast of a Hollywood epic. Smoke in public? OK so good in some ways, gooder in not being so regulated a person. Verdant, green and hotter: remember the MOSQUITOES, oh clefted beshorted person. Smoke on the Water being quite a good repellant. Good luck and singfullness, Rachel x Hey just think: you are x numbers of hours ahead of us here.

So exciting! Well I'll be thinking of you sunning yourself and sipping colourful cocktails decked with umbrellas and maraschino cherries on the beach as I'm shivering in the dampness and greyness of a London winter... Me? Green with envy? Whatever gave you that idea...? ;) You’ve arrived - woo hoo! So exciting!

A swim might help. And the longer you manage the better you'll fell later on. See how long you can go without sleeping. A swim might help. And the longer you manage the better you’ll fell later on.
