Meeting Newley in Bangkok, originally uploaded by LeeLeFever_TwinF.

Newley Purnell and I have been online friends for a while, connecting on Flickr and through our blogs but had never really met until last night.

By pure chance, we happened to be arriving in Bangkok on the same day and last night the three of went out.

Newley is a Bangkok veteran compared to us and took us to a very cool bar called Saxaphone near Victory Monument. Live jazz, hip people, good drinks.

Newley seems like the kind of guy we'll be friends with for a long time and meeting him here is perfect timing. It was like meeting up with an old friend after weeks of feeling like strangers in the world. Good guy that Newley.
