Tried to upload this blog last night but my browser crashes, so my Hemmingway-esque prose was consigned to the annals of cyberspace static. Or something. Well, have finished doing what minimal Christmas shopping I had to do. A bit expensive to send ... Read more >

Week 1: Getting settled in

Wow! I can't believe I've been here for two weeks! It's insane. I've spent most of that time finding accommodation, setting up a bank account, mobile phone etc. And now I think I'm pretty much all set up. It's been a completely change of lifestyle ... Read more >

Borobudur, Java

“Before we start, did anyone purchase the second glass option?” I raise my hand, confidently at first but more hesitantly as I scan the car before me. Standing as I am at the opposite end from our London Eye Champagne Experience host, it is clear I am ... Read more >
