CZECH REPUBLIC | Sat, 19 Mar 2016 | By leelee1586 | Views [491]
First of two posts.
I’ve been in Prague for a month now, which is so surreal (albeit amazing). I honestly didn’t realize how much and how quickly I would fall in love with this city. Around every corner is a new surprise in ... Read more >

Howdy folks... Well, after stressing, first about the volcanic cloud and then about actually getting to my plane in time for check-in (stupid journey to the airport took just over 2 hours. Damn Toulouse traffic making the shuttle take its maximum of ... Read more >

Or: how making no plans leads to beauty. ****CHECK OUT THE PICKS IN THE GALLERY***(Xiamen & Gulang Yu)**** This morning, for some reason I decided to look for an internet cafe. Don't know why I didn't want to use the internet here in the hotel.... Read more >

About a year ago I bought a netbook, a handy sized laptop
which I though would be ideal to take travelling, for connecting to the net and
writing articles on. I took it on a few weekend trips but didn’t use it much
and often found that the wifi zones ... Read more >

USA | Fri, 10 Jul 2009 | By jarrodkee43 | Views [619] | Comments [1]
LA is a place for rubbish, shit smells, massive trucks (for recreational use)the super poor and the super rich. Unless you are in the latter group it would be a place to avoid. Also, if your fetish is to sit on a bus for over an hour and still remain ... Read more >

As TS Eliot put it, “And the end of all our exploring/Will be to arrive where we started/And know the place for the first time.” Now that I'm back, I find myself in that place of culture shock where the world feels like it's upside down and I'm on ... Read more >

First it was mere weeks, then suddenly mere days, and now just mere hours until my Southeast Asian sojourn comes to an end. It is unreal that this life of traveling will end, unreal that in 26 hours I’ll enter the space and time shifting machine ... Read more >

This morning we visited the headquaarters of MERCOSUR - a trade association between Argentina, Brazil, Paruguay, and Uruguay. Chile is an associate member, meaning they do not get to participate in all the decisions. And Venezuela is a new member but ... Read more >

Well, the volleyball game last night didn´t happen. :( I showed up and there was just the home team and about four fans. The other team hadn´t showed up on time; most of the home team had already left by the time the opponent got to the gym. I hoped ... Read more >

COLOMBIA | Fri, 25 May 2007 | By will | Views [3966]
I’ve had a number of mails recently from people asking about safety in Colombia and I thought it would be useful to place things in context. The picture above is a chart in a Colombian bus station, which are displayed in all the bus stations in the country.... Read more >

Buenos Aires is an amazing city. People are very friendly and helpful. Internet access is readily available and cheap. There are also ATMs on every block. Kind of reminds me of NYC, though - quite dirty. The thing I have not seen yet is a Starbucks ... Read more >

INDIA | Wed, 14 Mar 2007 | By will | Views [9664] | Comments [3]
I’ve now been in India for almost three months. It’s
always been a favourite country of mine, a place that’s always been very good
for the ‘WOW’ factor, always full of surprises. Even in the centre of the
cities you can see people on the ... Read more >

NEPAL | Sun, 11 Mar 2007 | By will | Views [4597] | Comments [3]
Nepal has had rather a mixed press over the last few years; countries going through a Civil War tend not to be on the list of ‘must see’ places for most travelers. Since late 2006, the countryside has been quiet with the Maoists now in the government ... Read more >

Zanzibar , even the name has an exotic ring to it and conjures up images of Sultans, Spices and Slaves. One of the great island ports of the mystic east, ships traded the goods of Africa, the Middle East, and India and out across the Indian Ocean to ... Read more >

By chance I caught up with the ATC truck I’d been traveling on when I saw it stopped at lights in Dar es Salaam; I then spent a day with everyone at a beach on Zanzibar. What was surprising was the contrast to the experience I had had and the current ... Read more >

Unlike every other South American country I’ve seen on this trip, Argentina is a country I have visited before, on a two week holiday in which I went to Buenos Aires and Patagonia, flying around the country in order to see as much as I could in the ... Read more >

PARAGUAY | Wed, 9 Aug 2006 | By will | Views [4656] | Comments [2]
Paraguay has always struck me as an interesting place to travel too, partly because I’ve never met anyone else who has been here and I wondered why. All the backpacker/travelers routes in South America avoid it, a place where bad things happen perhaps? ... Read more >

There is something special about reaching a place after a long boat trip, especially when it is along a river. One of the places I’ve always wanted to visit was Manaus on the Amazon, having read as a child the epic story to build an Opera House there ... Read more >

BOLIVIA | Mon, 26 Jun 2006 | By will | Views [2539]
