City Rumble – Angkor versus Bagan
This week’s city rumble takes us back… in time! Back centuries to when ancient stone cities ruled the roost of large areas of South East Asia. Angkor is the city that ruled lands in Cambodia and Thailand from the 8th to 14th century AD. Its stone structures and Bas Reliefs are simply amazing. With a …
Face Lift and Name Change
Howdy all. A quick Tuesday evening post for you all as time is short and I am working far too much for my own good these days. But you know, with travel dreams in mind. Hoping to get to Sydney for a week later this year and then Octoberish next year, well, South America but …
Sunday Spotlight – Sofia
Another Sunday brings another spotlight, and this week we go to the Bulgarian capital, Sofia. When I went there in 2004 I was probably not exactly sure what I was going to get, but Bulgarian cities are very similar to other Eastern European cities and Sofia is actually quite a delight.

I wonder if people living in either city feel that way (yes, cue for comments!). I’ve been through Kuala Lumpur a couple of times, …

The Beauty of Bagan Part Two – Temples
Hi there! Today I wanted to feature the video I’ve made of the temples at Bagan, however I thought I’d let you know about the four temples that I remember most vividly from Myanmar’s amazing Bagan first. These are the temples that feature primarily in the video. Bupaya Bupaya is a temple on the …
Sunday Spotlight – Agadez
Hello folks. Today, a place which I can’t really talk much about with words. Agadez is a town in the middle of the desert, in the middle of the dusty, dry and poor West African country of Niger. Niger itself is one of the poorest countries in the world, the capital Niamey is a place …
Foto Friday – Smiles in Mumbai
For my 'City Rumble' post I had to scan in all my photos from 2001 Mumbai. I cam across this one which I really liked.
