Ce dimanche matin, à notre réveil, il pleut des cordes. C'est plus la saison, alors on est un peu surpris. Ca nous aura au moins permis d'imaginer ce qu'on aurait eu tous les jours si on était venus 2 mois plus tôt. C'est vrai que c'est impressionnant. Après le petit déjeuner, check-out de l'hôtel. On demande à l'hôtel de nous affreter un taxi e...

with still no bags we go shopping and yet again i decide to go cao san road for a few drinks where we were spotted by sarah and jane (nuneaton girls). after a few games of blind fold pool end up in one of the only open bars (reggae bar with a local rasta mc) until the early hours of the morning with an American. Still dont know the name but anyo...

It took ten hours but we finally got here. Thai airline is freaking cool1 we had our own little tv with video/tv shows on demand, they fed us twice, got us drunk and Milli kept eating complimentary croissants. I'm being forced to mention that they were complimentary, and Milli Did not keep asking for more, they were offe...

There is an episode of Monty Python in which an expedition to Mount Kilimanjaro is undertaken. An applicant to join the expedition asks what the purpose is of this year's expedition. "To see if we can find any traces of last year's expedition." is the answer. (Here is a link to the dialog of that sketch.) Similarly, my purpose in going to Burma ...

Bangkok, Thailand.........one night in Bangkok will make us feel lost in translation

Bangkok, May 17 Miles travelled: 72813 We're back in Bangkok, having completed our circuit through northern Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. Overall, a good trip combining both scenic beauty of mountains, rivers, and plains, with ruins of ancient empires and sobering looks at more recent conflicts in Indochina. A last day in Bangkok, we visited the...

juhu. nachdem wir schon geglaubt haben wir werden bangkok so schnell nicht mehr sehen ist alles doch anders :) mit grosser vorfreude werden wir in kuerze zum flughafen fahren ....

Well I'm in one of the huge malls in this city. I've heard awful things about Bangkok and it's airport but it's a big step up from Cairo where everything is a light-brown dust-colour. Asian food is the cheapest, but the food doesn't always meet my expectations from the descriptions. Tonight I had a tangy mango and crab salad; the salad was on th...

So yet again we find ourselves in the backpacker hub that is the Khao San Road, Bangkok. Although everything here appears the same, it feels different for us - maybe as we are now seasoned travellers and know what to expect from this city. It really doesn't smell that bad, the food from the markets is ediable and nicer then some restaurants and ...
