Last week I told the not quite romantic story of my brief journey to a hospital in Bangladesh. Today I move a little westward as my 2004 journey from Dhaka to Europe took me to hospitals in both India and Pakistan. Delhi belly. If you don’t get in whilst in India you’ve been very lucky, …
Okay, time to wrap this series up. My final two posts came after two weeks since the one before. I was home and had started work at this point, I also managed a post where I uploaded a few photos. Anyways… Wednesday, July 05, 2006 Part Four Oh so it's been a while since …
Ahhh I had had a wonderful time in Agra, seeing the Taj Mahal, making friends and catching my first ever Bollywood film, and the ups and downs of my first visit to India seemed like they were ending on the up part. I had to get back to Delhi where I would spend a couple …
If the pyramids at Giza, near Cairo, and its amazing museum leave you wanting more history, more grandeur, more impressive statues and heck, more columns whilst you’re at it, then when in Egypt, head down to Luxor. A long train ride from Cairo, or a few relaxing and amazing days in a felucca along the …
It being Sunday means it’s time to shine the spotlight on another city. Today we go inland into China to the citadel of Xi’an. Xi’an is a fast growing city and a half, as are many places in modern China. As I came in from the airport (after my delayed and eventful flight on Spring …
Foto Friday featured a shot from Elmina, a small fishing town on the coast of Ghana. When I visited Elmina I did it in an afternoon from the bigger Cape Coast, a short tro-tro ride away. Tro-tros are the local transport, like a mini-van in some ways, packed to the hilt, not very comfortable but …
The last of my reviews of the budget places I stayed at in my recent journey to Thailand and Myanmar, I returned to Thailand after 17 days in Myanmar and headed up to Chiang Mai, a place I felt at least had changed even more than Bangkok in some ways since my 1999 visit. Not …
Well, I didn’t find this place in my guide book, but it seemed to fit what I needed and I found it online by chance. It had a nice website and it looked new and pretty clean, and it was both those things, although it wasn’t quite as I expected it. Still, Yangon may not …

Yes the accommodation review is in again, following on sequentially on my trip to Myanmar. Nyaungshwe is the town where almost everyone, especially the backpacks, stay when visiting Inle Lake. It’s a dusty old town, but nice enough and you can get the boats that take people around the lake at Nyaungshwe which is pretty …

Thazi is not a place that tourists rush to, it’s one of those places they pass through on their way somewhere else. It sits on main highways and has a biggish train station, and it was my rest between Bagan and Inle Lake. Not that a rest stop is really needed, it was only a …
