Khao San Road is hedonisms alternative to a float tank. Instead of sensory deprivation, this place is sensory saturation. There are so many distractions here that any well-conceived plans I may have had for this journal are well and truly drowned in ... Read more >

This adventure has had its fair share
of unique experiences and I savour each new one that justifies all
the hard work. There's plenty of easy work that doesn't justify
anything, but nonetheless, I give thanks for that ... Read more >

I am pretty sure I was woken at 1:45am
by the sound of rain hitting my roof; hard. Hence, $38 had not
transformed my tent into the Millennium Falcon. I had to rise early
for once to get the first ferry across to Yamba, ... Read more >

The best thing to do after a riding
ordeal like I had just experienced, is to not go anywhere near a bike
for awhile. It hurt in too many places just thinking about it. My
bike was left on the roof of the hotel and did ... Read more >

So I just got off the phone to the good folk at the Guinness Book of Records and they confirmed that I am in the running for a few categories in the next edition. 'Worst decision ever made', 'Most complete and utter reversal of fortunes', 'Most profanities ... Read more >

If luck does come in strokes, this one
was particularly well lubricated. I could not have imagined a better
start to the trip, except perhaps for it coming at the start of the
day, rather than the end. While not being epic ... Read more >

Hanoi had been planning my welcoming party for months and the city was
awash with red and yellow flags and banners. Every shop front, street
sign and forehead spoke of the 1,000 year prophesy of my arrival. I
had been warned that I would be swarmed ... Read more >

My solo adventure started ominously enough with my 630am pick up for the ferry showing up at 725am. The receptionist was more worried than I was and called the company three times to ensure I hadn't been forgotten. I must still be on Broome time as ... Read more >

With time expiring on my tenure in
Tasmania, it seemed appropriate to take in a bit more of the state
before I left. The North Western town of Burnie would probably not
feature on any sane persons list of tourist destinations, and had it

I'm out West, and I know it. If I didn't,
most signs, businesses, and products have a reference to the 'West' in them.
We're not East Coast and we're damn proud of it! I can't see that as a good
enough reason to shoot someone, but I offer many thanks ... Read more >

Is their something intrinsically wrong with a government that offers its citizens a 'baby bonus' that encourages a 10 year old girl to become pregnant to her Mothers de facto partner and 'earn' another $5,000 for their household? Is there something ... Read more >

Did our change of location in Sihanoukville, result in an improvement in my feelings towards the place? Yes and no. The Green Gecko was definitely a better place to hang out, do our best to imitate people who can play billiards, and eat omelette rolls ... Read more >

Capital cities are always a mixed blessing. Everything you need, is there for a price. But so are a lot of things you don't need. Like pollution. Like extreme destitution. Like roads totally devoid of order. My God, is it only the Westerners that have ... Read more >
