I've finally taken some time to sit down and fill you all in on what's been happening here. Byron Bay was amazing and we really didn't want to leave but, we are trying to get as far north as we can and the time we have left is slipping away so.... needs ... Read more >

Kuala Lumpar

Kualar Lumpar is fantastic and I was very pleasantly surprised. Smaller than singapore and not so clean but so very vibrant, colourful, laid back and lively. Once again it is quite ethnically diverse. The City itself is dispersed with some colonial-esque ... Read more >

Singapore

A humid sunless but clean and friendly city. The skyline at night time reminds me of Hong Kong  in as much as all the sky scrapers as lit up. The 6 quid or so i paid for an after dusk river cruise was well worth the view - albeit that the ride lasted ... Read more >

An over dramatic title perhaps? On Tuesday evening Georgia and I were sat in a nice Indian restaurant chatting over a curry; when a man casually walked in, grabbed my bag and RAN out the door. This restaurant had two heavy glass doors (to keep in ... Read more >

Lots of snow in London last week.  Basically the entire city shut on Monday, public transport (trains and buses) weren't running and most of highstreet was shut.  Aidan tried to ride his mountain bike into work, but made it about five miles before turning ... Read more >

Home Sweet Home! Hello again! I migrated up to Cambridge/Cambourne/St Neot's last Wednesday which was a task made difficult by the snow/sleat/rain that managed to bring England's public transport system to a virtual stand still!  Oh - and the fallen ... Read more >
