Part 2
Sebastian O' Hara nonchalantly wheeled his luggage through Arrivals at Bangkok's Dong Muang airport. "Peasants!", he scoffed as he was approached by 2 dozen oriental gentlemen inquiring into whether or not he would like be to chaffeured in one of their Toyota Corrolla's to his chosen destination. "I reluctantly accept your offers sirs, for I believe the walk would be too laborious for me in my current condition".
Sebastian had just disembarked from a 90 minute flight from Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia, where he had marvelled at the Petronas Towers and photogaraphed them from every possible angle. He had sampled, during his brace of days in the capital, as much of the local cuisine as his gaunt torso would allow. He was particularly fond of the Malay/Indian dishes, his favourite being Rasam with a side order of Chipati's which he would usually wash down with a glass of fresh orange juice.
Still rather wet behind the ears at the relatively tender age of 21, Sebastian was in the orientation stage of a six month sabatical, during which he intended to travel South East Asia extensively and perhaps spend a brief period of time in Melbourne, Australia, which was essentially as far as you could get from his Parent's luxurious dwellings in Oxfordshire. His Father and Mother, a gynacologist and peadeatrition respectively, had gladly filled his pockets with platinum credit cards from all the major banks and used words which virtually spellled out "bugger off, and don't feel the need to come back".
It wasn't that Sebastian's parents weren't fond off him, but during the course of the latter part of his teens they'd grown extremely distant, both parties being at fault but his parents inparticular seemed to have very little time for anything other than their vocations.
This made Sebastian some what of a loner, he had few friends, but this was mainly due to having developed an extremely arrogant nature..one which mightn't fit in with these oriental types he was now mingling with.
Having been slightly ill the evening prior to the flight into Bangkok, Sebastian's strength was dwindling as he allowed the taxi driver to take his luggage and open the rear door for him to enter..
" The Grand Diamond" Sebastian commanded, "and driver!, make haste, I shall be shortly suffering a gargantuan bowel movement".
