Ahhhh, what joy to pitch a tent for $1 each on the white sands of southern Thailand, so beautiful and quiet, it draws us into island life once again. Hours melt into days, as they do in places that you find hard to leave. Unlike Koh Rok, where giant ... Read more >

Flying into Singapore on Chinese New Year's may sound like madness, and really, it is. By nightfall we're riding the rapid rails and in with the throngs meandering amongst lanterns and rats. Not real rats, that's to come in Kuala Lampur. The whole ... Read more >
