Unexpected Asia



Exceeds any expectations and you don’t know what to expect.
So you don’t have them, and the experience is always
Super mega awesome fantastic.
But even then it amazes you.

Another world
So green, bright, dark and day-glow
You meet people doing what you do.
You met people going the other way.
You make friends, and friends make family
Or a pack, a crew. Asian life and love
Hellos and then, goodbyes.

Buckets, beaches, bruises,
Beers and coconuts,
Monkeys and elephants,

Exotic Asia
Exciting Asia
Unexpected Asia

Like no where else I’ve been
Moving moving always travelling
Meeting locals, other travellers,
Ruski tourists and laughing lady boys.
Cheap fags, street food and tops that everyone’s got.

I met you all there, we moved fleetingly together
Saw these things, smelt those smells,
Touched the sun under the bright moon
Amassed tunes for memories,
After my last places, I didn’t think it would be anything like this.

(Mmmmate, let’s go again)
