Around the world...

Arriving in Dalat was a bit odd as it is right up in the Highlands and is about 10 degrees cooler than we have been used to. We had a great couple of days there. The town is pretty quiet but there are some great waterfalls and lakes in the area around ...

Australia (and a bit of Asia and Indonesia too) Summer 2006

After being met at the airport by someone from our hostel, we checked in, admired the room and then went into town for a wander around. It was notably warmer in Alice than in Sydney, however, town it would seem is more like a village. After an hour we ...

Australasia and South East Asia... a continuation on a toilet theme

Homogenity very much defines shopping in Thailand, and the floating market outside Bangkok was no exception. Repetitive photo album designs, countless fake Rolex's and wood-rounded candlestick holders abound, I must've seen them all in at least 50 di...
