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 …
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! Singapore was quick as expected, …

Hi all, time for another ‘Nuts N Bolts’ Guide, this time to Myanmar, the former Burma, where I headed four years ago now. Myanmar is a great country to visit these days in South East Asia, rapidly changing and welcoming more and more tourists every year. On the flip side, although the country has opened …
It seems in Myanmar they like to change the names of places. From Burma to Myanmar (As JP Peterson once said, you may call it ‘Myanmar’ but to me it will always be ‘Burma’) and Rangoon to Yangon. And then, of course, they moved the capital completely to a place called Naypyidaw. Oh, the flag …
South-East Asia is a non-stop smorgasbord of interesting, fun, exciting places for the traveller. Thailand is the prime hub I guess in many ways, with beaches, trekking, the nights and lights of Bangkok and more, Malaysia offers all that but in smaller doses with a fair dose of colonial history and architecture if that’s your …
Folks, the sequel to last week’s Travel Memories Cambodia Part One is here! I carefully and thoughtfully named it ‘Travel Memories – Part Two’ because you know, I’m very creative 🙂 Sooo last week I had recounted the journey from Bangkok through Poipet and Battambang to Siem Repp and the Temples of Angkor. This week …
Hi all. 'Little Places' today is taking me back to the year 2000. It was November-December and I was on my second ever solo backpacking trip, and first stop was South East Asia. Cambodia was the country to be explored, and I had met up with three random travellers who had connected on the Lonely …
Well. Today, I thought I would look at a possible itinerary for Cambodia. I know a couple of people who have been there recently, and things are a little different these days from when I went there back in the year 2000. For example, there is now a proper road from Siem Repp to the …
