Waiting at Sydney Airport, July 11, 2012, with far too much time on our
hands, I start to panic that this trip should have been booked by a travel
agent who knew what to do. My second trip internationally, first to a country
with a first language ... Read more >

India is one country which has always been on my list of countries
‘not to visit’.

pollution, crowds and the 1001 parasites which infest your ... Read more >

Chinas weather was so much better than the weather in Hong Kong. It
was still really hot, but it was dry and if we were lucky, some days it would
be really windy and cool as well.
The next couple of days where packed with ... Read more >

There is nothing quite like
arriving in a city on the other side of the world, by yourself. Much to the embarrassment

After getting back into Bangkok from Laos I had a few days to kill before Lisa my mate from Ireland was arriving, so I went up to Ayuthaya, one of the former capitals and one of the greatest greatest cities in Siam. I was there in 1997 and remembered ... Read more >

I love the tropics.
That hot stinking humidity that envelops every pore on your
body. That wafting scent of thickness that only South East Asia can produce
with muggy resolve.
It was an ordinary night, so ordinary that it was abnormal. That
strange ... Read more >

Now now, before you drift off into your repressed memory of
how you woke up one morning nursing a hangover and regretting that old adage no-one’s ugly after 2am..., the topic at

When the all-girl Korean band Wondergirls released there
soon-to-be pop classic Nobody in
2009, somehow I doubt they’d envisage it would become a pole dancing anthem.
Just like marvelling at the Borobudur Temples in Java, watching
