Mandalay is the centre of the region of… well the ‘Mandalay Region’, which I guess is hardly surprising. It’s an amazing destination in many aspects, but the region surrounding it has many sights and things to do as well, so basing yourself in Mandalay is a great idea to really get to grips with all …
Mandalay - a town of some historic fame thanks to the poem 'The Road to Mandalay' by Mr Rudyard Kipling. In fact, although he did visit Burma in the last 19th Century, he never actually went to Mandalay. As a destination, Mandalay is worthwhile, especially if you like your temples when you travel.

Howdy all. You may recall a couple of weeks back I did a post where I talked about a crazy idea to travel Singapore to Lhasa and Lanzhou by the world’s highest rail line as an overland itinerary as I desperately tried to fill a gaping void in my life without the ability to travel. …

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 …
Today it’s Cambodia on the mind. I saw interviews from people who have just returned home to Australia from Cambodia on relief flights as Cambodia moves to tough restrictions due to the Corona Virus, and it got me thinking a bit. What countries did I really learn something from by visiting? The first country that …
Howdy all. So I'm sitting back really tired here but forcing myself to write a blog post before getting some sleep. I will hit Central Asia tomorrow with a morning flight to Almaty, but right now I'm in the amazing Sama Sama International at KLIA. Possibly my favourite hotel ever!

Hi all, time for another ‘Nuts N Bolts’ Guide, this time to Myanmar, the former Burma, where I headed four years ago now.
