... us by. The people we meet, amiable and friendly, enjoying the time you spend with them, like letting you hair down in Chile, and leaps of faith expelling our fears and anxieties, and ushering in new direction in our lives. The vulnerable nature of nature, tiny baby turtles, and even great orang utans in the Bornean jungle and surrounding islands, clinging onto existence. The effect of tourism on countries, the nature of Bangkok Thais ...

... horses and motorbikes. The motorbikes whistled down the hill (engines turned off) and children were having donkey ride races up and down the one path. Unfortunately, you are not allowed to walk on the glacier, but we climbed up to a high ridge where we sat on a huge rock and ate lunch. We had the best table in the house - the view was magnificent - rolling hills, fir trees, mountains, snow, blue sky and sun.

The Apak Hoja Tomb (5kms from Kashgar ...

... convey the awe and wonder you feel as your eyes soak up the places you visit, and the everyday scenes you see. They have become treasures I’ve locked within my mind for eternity… I’m just saddened that some of the memories already seem faded and blurred because I didn’t stop and absorb them more.



My lifelong friend Nicola and I flew out to Bangkok on the 26th Feb 2008. Looking back, I have to say I feel immensely proud of what I have ...

... 16.50 *ouch* to get inside. After tagging onto a Beefeater tour, i split from the group quickly and managed to get in and see the real Crown Jewels ;). The Jewels and Regelia were impressive and well worth the trip. the middle building with the old suit of armour and weapons was also great. Managed to time the south wall walk just at dusk which was awesome for lighting the tower bridge.

The plane ride to London was much longer than DC (obiously!). The plane was a 767 and was huge. I couldnt stop singing Steve Miller Band " Jet Airliner" because it had been deleted on my music player. I was only left with 50 out of 450 songs. Bummer. Guess thats what you get for going cheap. I watched Kung-foo panda, but fell asleep than watched it a second time. Anything to pass the time without touching the ...

...Miami, the captain of the plane says over the PA "...weather in London is expected to be wet and around 57 degrees Fahrenheit..." Can this be true? London weather cannot be that bad during Spring? ...9 hours later, we descend down to Heathrow, sure enough the plane is hovering over the big grey sky. On a clear day one would expect to see a bird's eye view of the green countryside, but not today, or most days... "Ladies and Gentlemen, if ...

... I took lots of photos despite the weather. Returning to earth, we went for lunch at Wagamama's, emerging to clear skies. Ah, the fickle English weather. Cross Waterloo Bridge, through the city to the British Museum. We visited an exhibition on the Egyptians, and wandered round the Asia gallery- Nepal, Tibet, Thailand. Viewing the terrcotta warriors was tempting, but expensive, and Rick was museumed out. A ...

What a beautiful evening! What a beautiful day overall! If you look away from a few personal conflicts in the beginning of the day, this has been very close to perfect. After visiting the most splendid indian restaurant - I can't remember its name, but it was up and across the street for Earls Court station, right across Starbucks, and close to cromwell road. Oh, the service was the best I've ever experienced! The food was very well, with not ...

... and a purchase there..the prices seem 'ok' until you realize that 25 pounds is most definitely not on par with 25 Canadian dollars! Nevertheless, we managed to buy some things and then hit a bit of a low as we started to get tired..we ended up chilling out in an open food court where pigeons dive-bombed towards our heads...I kept my hood on, as I am a prime-target for birds..they love to **** on me for some reason..on this day, the lucky receipient of a head-full of poo was...JEN-BIRD ...
