Apologies for the delay - got sick on re-entry, caught up in work, and now planning for new trip. But now I can give an update on the last days spent in China (May 2007). I was really wishing I didn't have to go back to work. Arriving in Beijing by ... Read more >

In Xi'an now. Saw the Terracotta Warriors this morning - and met the surly farmer that claimed he discovered them first back in 1974. He yelled at Wilson for looking at her camera because he didn't want his photo taken. He needs a slap. Man wears ... Read more >

It's been ages. Like forever. And I feel like we've been really rushing through town after town. We're zapping up kilometres. On the last day in Yangshuo, we checked out some shopping around town. I bought really cool matching t-shirts for Graeme ... Read more >

Here I am in Yangshuo. It's an okay town... if you love bad karoke until 2:30am. I went out to check out the town at 7am today and found all the doors shut and signs up saying they wouldn't open until 11am. Classy little place... packed with tourists! ... Read more >

Two nights on a train was great! Met a New Zealand guy (Blair) at Hanoi station which made it much easier (like sharing maps and guidebooks and taxis). Met up with a Colombian father and daughter on the train (sorry, can't remember the names!), ... Read more >

Went for a day trip to Tam Coc yesterday... it was fabulous! Famed as the "HaLong-Bay-On-Land", it's filled with huge limestone mountains much like the ones in HaLong Bay. Tam Coc apparently means 'three gorges' and they paddle you on a small ... Read more >

Okay, so I got to Vietnam and tuned out in a big way. But now I have a problem. I'm blaming shoes. Yes, you heard me. They're the root of all evil. I think they're one of the causes of global warming. They may cause vomiting if provoked. They ... Read more >

Quick one because its hot, it just rained here, and I want to sit in a pub by the river and have a beer on this my last night in Cambodia. Tomorrow the bus sweats us the 220km to Ho Chi Minh City. Ouch me.... that's why I need a beer. Those bus ... Read more >

They're all out somewhere on a boat getting sunburnt - I said I wasn't interested. I walked an hour in the heat to get to the other side of town, then settled down at a beachside cafe to sip a coconut drink while an enterprising young Cambodian girl ... Read more >

The night before last (in Kampong Cham), we went out to dinner but met up first in a cafe (esky with a table) on the pavement outside the hotel. The Aussie sisters on this tour don't seem to understand sarcasm. They brought a packet of cigarettes out ... Read more >
