There's no doubt the Mona Lisa is the most famous painting in the world. It's the most popular thing to see at the Louvre, the most popular museum in Paris, the most popular city (for tourism) in the world. So. It's pretty popular. It's almost like this is what tourism now is - a fight. …
When I went to China at the beginning of May this year, more specifically to Beijing, it was about 95% to catch the first leg of the Trans-Mongolian train journey. However, as I was going there, I decided that I wanted to get to two of China’s great historical landmarks, the Forbidden City and the …
Here's a little quirky photo for you of a sign in a toilet in Yokohama, Japan. Some very important things you are not to do in the toilet. The amusing ones are the last two. I presume that the second last one is 'don't forget to flush', but when I first saw it I naturally …
Howdy all. I type this blog post today as I take the bus to Charles de Gaulle from Rouen. Very lucky to have a bus that doesn't stop in Paris. We will overnight at the Ibis at the airport before we fly off tomorrow for six days in Japan before returning home to Melbourne. So …
So, Paris. Paris Paris Paris, I was there. I saw stuff. I left. The first day I arrived by Eurostar. That experience alone was enough to drive me to drink I have to say. At St Pancras Station in London the organisation of the line into bag check and customs was non-existant. It sort of …

And it's all very hypcritical of me really because basically I am bemoaning tourism in 2017 despite clearly being a tourist myself. But I have to be honest, the experience of visiting the Louvre Museum in Paris, probably the most …
Somehow I am suddenly in the United Kingdom! Strange how you suddenly find yourself in a different country. Well not really but it's always a bizarre feeling. Just as I was getting used to Russia. I'm AirBnB-ing it in London, but today I've taken a trip north to Cambridge, which is an incredibly beautiful town …
So, I've been here in the Siberian city of Irkutsk (bar half a day at Listvyanka), since Tuesday. Tuesday I did the bulk of my sight seeing on that day. That cold, blustery day where the mercury hovered just above freezing and I encountered quite a few flurries of snow. Today it's time for the …
Howdy all fron Russia! Today I had the chance to take a day trip to Lake Baikal. I'm stay in the city of Irkutsk, which is 63km from the town of Listvyanka, so I hopped on a mini-bus today and made my way down to see the world's largest inland lake, which holds something like …
Bangladesh is full of amazing smiles, amazing faces. From Bhola Island to Rajshahi, the faces we met - a long time ago now (2002 and 2004) made photos on their own. Most of these are, or perhaps I should say were, children. I hope you enjoy these photos. Thanks for dropping by today, take care …
