Little did he know, whilst Charlie was writing the last post I was in secrect negotiations with the next door hostel arranging a birthday party for that evening. I went over to check that everything was in order but was told that, disaster, they were ... Read more >


Yunan Province

WORLDWIDE | Tuesday, 28 Jun 2011 | Views [439]

Yunan provice was our first introduction to China. We immediately headed north to escape the heat we had still not fully grown used to. Our itinerary took us from sea level to 5000m in 10 days: Hekou-Kunming-Dali-Lijang-Tiger Leaping Gorge- Shangri ... Read more >


The Excitement of Writing

WORLDWIDE | Monday, 20 Jun 2011 | Views [468]

The Excitement of Writing For more than a month now this blog has suffered a bit of neglect. The reason isn't purely laziness... but maybe a lack of spark? That excitement that you just want to write down everything so you'll never forget it. More as ... Read more >


A Long Overdue Post

WORLDWIDE | Monday, 25 Apr 2011 | Views [404] | Comments [1]

A Long Overdue Post Presently writing this on the sleeper bus, rosie is asleep next to me and has been for five hours or so. I think it was the pig intestines at the bus station that might be keeping me up. But at least it's allowed me some time to ... Read more >


Laos New Year

WORLDWIDE | Monday, 25 Apr 2011 | Views [462]

Laos New Year Laos new year is the passover from Aries in to Picies or something, but seemingly it was a week long pissup and waterfight. We went out waterproof- well kind of. On the first day we were in luang prabang it was water everywhere, but breakfast ... Read more >

WORLDWIDE | Monday, 25 Apr 2011 | Views [805]

Akha Tribes and Insects

WORLDWIDE | Monday, 25 Apr 2011 | Views [518]

Akha Tribes and Insects The akha, pronounced in a very phlegmy way, originated from Burma, still accord to animism and legitimately wear traditional dress. The women are very very shy, and also on a side note very muscly. The merest show of a camera ... Read more >

Little Miss Lao Sunshine

WORLDWIDE | Monday, 25 Apr 2011 | Views [463]

Little Miss Lao Sunshine Our bus to udomxai was decisively lazy and had the habit of not wanting to start. On stopping, a few Laos men and I, and counterintuitively the bus driver, had to hop out and give the bus enough velocity to start in second or ... Read more >


Chiang Mai to Laos

WORLDWIDE | Sunday, 24 Apr 2011 | Views [460]

We left chiang mai on the Monday morning regretfully and sorrowfully leaving becca, with whom we travelled for a week. It's funny how time elongates itself out here. A week with someone is far longer than it sounds- all 1/4200th of my expected lifetime-... Read more >
