Kualar Lumpar is fantastic and I was very pleasantly surprised. Smaller than singapore and not so clean but so very vibrant, colourful, laid back and lively. Once again it is quite ethnically diverse. The City itself is dispersed with some colonial-esque ... Read more >

A humid sunless but clean and friendly city. The skyline at night time reminds me of Hong Kong in as much as all the sky scrapers as lit up. The 6 quid or so i paid for an after dusk river cruise was well worth the view - albeit that the ride lasted ... Read more >

Despite my reservations about Bangkok I have to say its quite an amazing City. It has everything really - Wats (temples), a palace, ambience, skytowers, markets, a river, sky trains, an elephant walking down the high street, pld men with young thai girls, ... Read more >

Vientienne is a lovely laid back capital city along the Mekong River. Other than temples and visiting a golden stupa (which essentially represents laos sovereignty) there isnt much to do other than chill out by the river front or as i did - go for a ... Read more >

Well I am still here....8 nights later on this Christmas morning. Woke up to catch the beautiful sunrise over the Mekong River listening to John Lennon's "So this is Christmas..." song (on my neighbours ipod). Again I watched fisherman returning ... Read more >

Well I ended up heading South rather than north in the end from Savannakhet! Savannakhet itself was a nice little riverside town with old decaying french colonial buildings. Everyone was so friendly and its a small enough place to walkaround. After ... Read more >

What a contrast to Saigon and a wonderful capital city. I didnt particularly like the throng of Saigon itself and whilst Hanoi is busy it has a little old quarter by a lovely lake where you will find most of the backpacker hostels and is a nice place ... Read more >
