The stalking excuse is a fallacy in my experience. About the only burd that semi-stalked me here is one of the few I actually paid...
I obviously don't literally mean "stalking." I mean if the girl doesn't leave immediately when you want her to (after you've busted your final nut) that's stalking. There is only one girl in this world I'll spoon and kiss and hold hands with. Every other girl it's just upgraded fapping, nothing more.

I might then go to Australia and possibly work for a year.
A few questions:
- Do I need to sort the working holiday visa for Oz before I fly to SE Asia or can I do it while I'm out there?
- What's the football (soccer) scene like in BKK? Does anyone play? Are there pick-up games or organised leagues? This can be indoor 5-a-side or proper 11 a side or whatever.
- What jabs are the absolute must haves? I've been reading that Hep A and B are locks, what else?
- What are the gyms like in BKK and how expensive are they?
http://www.twinrix.ca/en/ and tetanus. I just double checked with my doc to be sure. I got my twinrix over 5 years ago and it's good for life. I'd go do your first shot immediately because you need a booster 3 months later (or some amount of time I forget exactly). Tetanus also, easy to get if you cut yourself, and pretty ****ty way to die when it's so easy to prevent. I managed to rip my right index finger clean open to the bone a few months ago and needed 5 stitches so I got a very recent Tetanus shot also.
Anyway my doc is pretty solid and says I'm set with that that (Tetanus and twinrix). If you plan on traveling to remote regions there are more exotic things you might consider like Japanese Encephalitis/malaria. But you can do that cheaper from in Thailand as a precaution before doing the remote trip. Malaria there is no vaccination so if you are traveling very remote it's a good idea to have the drugs to treat it on hand.

I actually got my Heb B 2nd shot in some BKK public clinic. Very easy, cheaper than street food, and it was worth it for the novelty value alone.
You should read up on how vaccines work.
Even if you don't get a vaccine yourself, you are a beneficiary of vaccines if everyone around took it for a specific disease. There are fewer hosts for the disease and it is harder to spread. Some diseases have been completely wiped out, like polio because of heavy commitment to vaccinate everyone.
And repercussions are great if you do get some disease. It's a bit like saying that you won't pay $5 to insure your car for the year because you never get into accidents.
It's called herd immunity.

PE's is massively protected by vaccinations whether he agrees with them or not. Vaccines can cause illness but it's the method of vaccination that needs improvement. The concept of vaccination itself is genius and has obviously saved countless lives and eliminated infinite amounts of suffering.
