Camden triggers those in the know to ask about Amy Winehouse and whether or not I saw her. It's the ultimate stop for all your alternative and tattoo desires. However, tucked away neatly in Camden Lock is a plethora of market stalls with some very funky ... Read more >

I've been contemplating for three days now how I am going to try and communicate what it was like in London's East End. I have to do this because I was left camera-less after I forgot to charge the battery in my camera, rendering me without any way ... Read more >

17 July, 2.30pm I think I'm on the edge of Trafalgar Square. It's taken a good twenty minutes of walking to find somewhere I could both acquire a coffee and escape the hordes of tourists. I've spent today largely just wandering and exploring, generally ... Read more >

16 July, 11pm I never sleep particularly well when I know I have to be up early for something important. This morning was that same situation with the last three hours of sleep spent checking on the cat in his latest spot above my head and dreams of ... Read more >

Well, I couldn't use the camels having right of way again as the title.
That's just flogging a joke too hard. However, it's not really a joke.
We did sit behind another car AND a truck while a driver rode his camel,
and led another, across ... Read more >

Well, not quite the whole city. But the escalators do. Many of them
stand still in shopping malls and train stations until you come close
enough for it to register your presence. Then, all of a sudden it’s
running at full speed right in front ... Read more >

A few snapshots from some of the craziness and chaos around here.
Taxis
It's a game of hit or miss with taxis around here. They're relatively
cheap on account of bargain basement fuel prices, though you're lucky if
you find one who actually ... Read more >

The souks in Deira are pegged akin to traditional markets in Thailand. Touted as a popular tourist destination and a must-see for all travellers to Dubai, Andrew and I decided we'd make a trip of the adventure and take the day exploring the area. We ... Read more >

One last post from Andrew... Situated 2 hours north-ish of Ko Samui lies a pirate cove, hidden away through rough, charging Asian seas. A place, where only the tenacious or touristy shall venture. Be there treasure here, only yee shall know, but it be ... Read more >

Another by Andrew.... At the beach, it's hot. It's VERY hot. The first day we arrived at Ko Samui, after an adventurous 6am start from the national park, was the kinda heat I expect most sane people would stay comfortably inside their air conditioned ... Read more >
