South East Asia is a big place, it’s densely populated and there are so many different people and different languages. It’s generally pretty hot most of the time, with only a few places in the north ever really cooling down substantially (such as Hanoi, which had maximums of around 15 degrees when I was there!) …
Howdy all. Today I;m presenting a selection of photos I took five years ago now in Myanmar where, at the end of a day tour around Mandalay, I visited the Ubein Bridge, which attracts a lot of people including locals and tourists alike. It's a long bridge across a lake, some tourists walk it, others …
Yes it’s another venture into a country that, as with most places in the world, you can’t get to right now. Myanmar is the current name for Burma, a South-East Asian country bordering Bangladesh and Thailand, not to mention China and India. In recent years Myanmar has gone from a place that was hard to …

In fact right now you pretty much can’t travel anywhere. Which is the point of these posts. But it’s time to look, virtually, at Pakistan because actually it’s a real surprise packet of a country that perhaps travellers will start to return to when restrictions are lifted. In the last fifteen years it has not …
Howdy all. The Eurovision Song Contest final should have been held last Saturday. Followers of the blog will no doubt know that I am a huge fan of Eurovision. So anyways, thanks to the situation the entire world finds itself in right now, the contest was cancelled this year. However, they did manage to hold …
