Long route home Our trip all the way home, trying to catch no planes and stay on the ground like civilised people. It's taking us via India all the way to Europe from Japan, the furthest of the Far East...

Here it is!  Paradise by the onboard lights of the overnight train!  South Thailand where beauty is affordable and easy.  Beautiful islands with corals ringing them and white sand gracing their surfaces.  Well, after a pretty grim train journey with ... Read more >


Banging in and out of Bangkok

THAILAND | Thursday, 22 Jul 2010 | Views [1032] | Comments [2]

Pattaya is the sleaze capital of Thailand - it's worse than a EU stag do destination: this is where old men retire to drink cheap beer and find a young Thai lady. Lots of shaved (or grey) heads, tatoos and sun burns. Oli had more hair than all the ... Read more >

Phnomenal Temples

CAMBODIA | Thursday, 22 Jul 2010 | Views [576] | Comments [1]

After Snookyville it came as somewhat of a relief to head into somewhere a bit more Cambodian.  Phnom Penh was a hell of a place to arrive - hot, sticky and very smelly.  We trudged past the moto remarques (tuktuks) and made our way towards one then ... Read more >

Happy Kampotters

CAMBODIA | Wednesday, 14 Jul 2010 | Views [1233]

From Ha Tien, we had the bus all to ourselves. After all the warnings of scams and 'extras', the border crossing to Cambodia was pretty simple. We paid $1 for the pleasure of filling out a 'medical check' form, and climbed aboard the waiting bus on ... Read more >

We miss Saigon

VIETNAM | Wednesday, 14 Jul 2010 | Views [528]

We said nha thanks to Nha Trang in the end.  It was a party town where we couldn't find the party - and when we did it was crap.  Crazy Kim's bar was a strange place, but with much-appreciated English commentary for the WC.  The eponymous owner is ... Read more >

Don't drop your Hs

VIETNAM | Saturday, 10 Jul 2010 | Views [758]

The mindblowingly mindless schedule of the border-crossing train had us up at 2300 for the to leave China, and then up again at 0100 to enter Vietnam! Each time we had to take all our things off the train, sit with the mozzies in immigration while ... Read more >

Bonkers in Honkers

HONG KONG | Sunday, 30 May 2010 | Views [518]

Buildings tower over us.  People throng the myriad malls.  Signs of carniverous consumption everywhere.  Sheer lust for life invigorating everything.  An obsession with cleanliness. Lots of neon.  No space.  Tempting to think we're back in Tokyo, but ... Read more >


Raging in Beijing

CHINA | Sunday, 23 May 2010 | Views [565]

Arriving in China was a shock to our systems in many ways. No more combinis, no maps at every corner and impoliteness ruling the day. We were  so tied up in stretching our final days in Japan that we forgot to write down ANY useful information - ... Read more >

Leaving Tokyo

JAPAN | Friday, 21 May 2010 | Views [1596]

Here we are, over one month into our journey and three quarters of the way into a 12 hr train ride from Danang to Nha Thrang. So far, not flying feels like a good decision. Some of the travel has been uncomfortable, but mostly we've enjoyed the slowly ... Read more >
