Ah shit, bugger that! How'd that happen? Take sweet with you on the flight to suck on during landing. If that doesn't help squeeze on your noze (thus blocking your nostrils) and blow out. That'll push the air out your ears and ease the pressure.
Malaysia Airlines had better service than Qantas when I flew with them. Have fun!
I have heard gum helps lots too, so I shall try everything and anything.
I went to a specialist last night (lucky as fuck he had a cancellation before I leave on Saturday) and he said I have a fungal infection, and had a crack at cleaning it out, which was interesting. He said there may be more going on, but he can't tell until the rest of the infection clears up, so I will go back and see him again when I get home. It does feel better since he cleaned it though, but in the meantime I just have to use these drops and hope for the best.
I'm sitting in a net cafe in sunny Antwerp, one day until the festival! Having a great time.
Dungeon gig Tuesday night was an interesting one, the smallest show I have ever seen them at, and possibly the smallest gig I have ever been to! Great fun though, and they guys were a blast. AussieMetalChild, Stonewall, myself, and 'Ron' helped the Belgian's to get into it. Best setlist I have seen from the band in ages too! Thanks to all the guys for being so great, we will wear our Dungeon World Tour shirts around Europe proudly!
Another update if I get time after the festival, or when I get home.
Back to the same net cafe after the festival, and what can I say. Fuck that was the best weekend ever. So many live performances that top the best I have ever seen, and Maiden to close the show, fuck me. Metal heaven. I can now put a line through many things on my 'to do' list of life. Fantastic.
Big write up when I get home, am here for another weekish.
