20 Kgs of luggage allowance and months away from home - what do you pack when travelling?
Often I have seen friends packing way too much stuff in their bags when they are only travelling for 2 weeks . They bring a full backpack, a travel pack and some carry on luggage AND their laptop.... everything but the kitchen sink - just in case they "need" it.
That is too much to pack when travelling, especially when travelling to Thailand or anywhere in SE Asia. Carrying around a whole pile of crap that you do not need or use is a sure way to annoy the heck out of you when travelling, especially if you plan on getting around and seeing the country you travel to.
Here's what to pack when travelling international, or more specifically what I pack...

"How can I gain weight" - the eternal question for teenage boys, footballers and beginning bodybuilders. Also the question that took me from a skinny 70kg long distance runner to todays weight of over 140kg - more than doubling my lean body weight.
21 years ago I started to ask how do I gain weight in earnest, studying every bit of archaic knowledge, the current state of professional nutrition advice and every bit of hearsay we could get our ears around. In the end we decided to follow these following steps.
In 3 months I gained 20kg of weight, mostly muscle!

I spent Oct 2007 in Australia working on the return season of Sydney Dance Company's production "Berlin", surprisingly the day that I landed in Sydney it was 2 years and 1 day since I left Australia (meaning that it was 2 years to the day that I had been based in Thailand).
What had changed? How much had I changed? Did I still enjoy Australia? Would I have fun or would I slowly go insane in a non-utopian encroaching police state?

Drona, this years big budget Bollywood movie, directed by Goldie Behl, starring Abhishek Bachchan as a superhero, former Miss World Priyanka Chopra will play Abhishek's bodyguard and Kay Kay Menon will play a negative role.
Drona also features Conan Stevens in a..... negative role (read on).
Drona is expected to bring the best special effects yet to date
to Indian cinema, and through my involvement, though limited at this
stage I can confirm this. Some work is even being done in Australia by
a very experienced special effects company that has worked on some
absolutely huge Hollywood films....

Are you scared of heights? Have a fear of heights? Fear of falling? Are you an Acrophobic?I was but I 'cured' it.
Funnily enough for being extremely tall I have always had a fear of heights, having the safety railings at knee height did not help matters either. As a child I would have nightmares that I was falling, I would wake up in a cold sweat many nights with the same falling dream.
Fear Of Heights? Are You Scared? I was.
So in my usual style I had to confront this fear of heights, and beat this weakness that may cause me troubles in my future stunt/acting career....
