Today I wanted to write about three places that I have grouped together that are a bit different. On the continent of Asia, from India, China and errr… China again! They are all coloured with many a different colour, and they all made me wonder ‘really?’
It’s time to revisit an old favourite, the challenge – you have two days and one night, $200USD and this time you are in Singapore! What to do? Where to stay and how to spend your money.
Today, 'through my lens', I'm taking you back to my visit to Bhola Island on a university trip centred on development to Bangladesh, in 2002.
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. Bangkok, the capital of Thailand. I've been through it I think four times thus far in my life. On my first trip solo, it was my first stop and it certainly left an impression on me even if I didn't spend much time there. In fact, I have never really spent a long …

In the last fifteen years it has not …
Yes folks, it’s time for me to talk about my trip to the Philippines that never was. As this post goes out it’s Sunday the 10th of May and I had about a day before I headed back to Melbourne from Coron Town on Busuanga Island, Palawan in the Philippines after eleven days there snorkelling …
Hi all. An occasional post I'm planning on bringing you - little bits and bobs from around the web which I found interesting. Today, Youtuber Sam Chui's video flying into Paro, Bhutan. It's an amazing approach around the through the mountains. My jaw dropped to the ground when I watched this, so please do, and …
Gardens by the Bay is a relatively new attraction in Singapore, a somewhat ‘modern’ take you might say in gardening and design, they were opened in 2012 and in 2018 they received some 50 million visitors.
