Well Folks,
Four days to go before I leave the land of OZ for the Orient and finally start the journey to realise a dream I have had since I was a short seven year old with one leg shorter than the other since birth and a desire to be a pirate one day.
I found out about LL 6 years ago and there hasn't been a day since then that I haven't visualised myself taller and normal. It is very hard to believe that I am about to do this as I have finally managed to save enough and a little extra for my return to survive until I find a job.
I expect to arrive bank in Australia at the end of the year 5 to 7 centre mitres taller taking me from 168 to 175 (or close enough).
In preparation I have spent the past two years getting my self healthy by giving up smoking and drinking completely. I have also lost 15 kilos so far and studied Mandarin with a native speaker in Beijing over Skype.
All that being said I am very nervous and look forward to your support during this time as I don't expect a rosy ride.

All the best buddy! I look forward to your diary 
Really excited to get to read about your LL experience in the coming months!
Good luck pal, btw get rid of that mask, it annoys me so badly, put something else please 
Hey dude
Am I getting this correctly, you are going to lenghten one leg only ? One of your leg is shorter than the other by 5-7 cms ?
Sorry if I misunderstood :p
Anyway, best of luck in your journey !
You have our support! I hope that your LL journey will prove rewarding in more ways than you can imagine. Best of luck!
Finally THE new Beijing diary we've all been waiting for. Thank you and good luck MATE 
Great news! Wish you all the best, man. We're here to support you.
Well folks,
I fly to China Tomorrow and said 'Au Revoir' to my girlfriend a few hours ago.
I repacked my luggage to reduce clothing and increase books. DVDs, vitamins, Protein powder and calcium etc
My right leg is only 2 centimetres longer so if I get 5 there and 7 on the left I'll be RIGHT ;-). To be 173-175 will be magic.
In no time in history since Adam and Eve was this possible!
Cheers

G'day all,
I have called a taxi to the Airport and this is a quick note (not sure when I'll be online in China ?) to say 'Au Revoir' as literally Im on my way now, having said all goodbyes to family and friends. Nobody except you folks know i am about to do this. Not even my girlfriend.
I am excited, and a little sad as I am also saying goodbye to an old me :-(. There will be no excuses any more for being small. I won't be a cripple and I may be more confident as I have been fairly cowardly all my life being shorter than most men.
As part of the plan to do this secretly I have worn lifts for many years (one higher than the other) and have never gone swimming, lawn bowling , to houses where you have to take your shoes off etc.
I will be coming home without lifts!!!!
I am unsure whether I will be coming back as a different man mentally perhaps also ?
For those considering CHINA for LL I have attached the letter I used to get my 90 day visa. You need to bring 4 additional passport photos for your renewal visa while there.
Cheers.
