Parting the Red Sea

EGYPT | Saturday, 1 Mar 2008 | Views [221] | Comments [1]

If you’ll recall the last entry, I worried about my lack of knowledge when it came to Egypt – and everything related to it. Well, I think for once my worrying was justified. Along comes my familiar friend Ignorance. Ignorant assumption ... Read more >

From Roosters to Camels

THAILAND | Thursday, 24 Jan 2008 | Views [102]

It became apparent that if I didn’t leave Lanta now, I may never end up leaving at all.   So I tore myself away from the comforts of my home and made my way up to ko phangan.   I got an email from my mom that said, “I hope you like it there, ... Read more >

Malaysia - The Land of men and monkeys

MALAYSIA | Tuesday, 27 Nov 2007 | Views [201] | Comments [1]

The Evolution of the Monkey

THAILAND | Monday, 5 Nov 2007 | Views [216] | Comments [3]

There are few times in life when i am able to be 100% in the moment. I always get so fed up during a yoga or meditation class when they tell you to concentrate on your breathing and think of nothing - there's far too many things to think about to do ... Read more >

Blissfull Ignorance

THAILAND | Saturday, 3 Nov 2007 | Views [194] | Comments [1]
