In search of the perfect curry... The blog of Ros and Hugh's travels in Asia 2007/2008 (www.asianhobnob.co.uk)

About this blog

Hello there

We've given up our jobs, entrusted our flat and potplants to a friend and run away from the rubbish blighty winter. We've started with three flights booked - London to Bangkok on 4th November, Bangkok to Calcutta on 4th January and a flexible flight back from Delhi.

We thought our friends and family might like some way of working out where we are and what we're up to... welcome to our blog.

Enjoy!

Ros and Hugh

Hobnob \Hob"nob`\, v. i. 1. To drink familiarly (with another). 2. To associate familiarly; to be on intimate terms. Hobnob\ n. A yummy biscuit for dunking in tea
