Hello folks! Just a quick little blog post to welcome to you the week starting Monday the 27th of July. Hope you are well and warm wherever you may be. If you’re in the Northern Hemisphere, there’s a much higher chance of that as I sit at my computer with my heater warming my feet …

Sunday Spotlight – Luxor, Egypt
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 …
Scammed in India – Jaipur
My first week and a bit in India in 1999, my first time in India, had all been a very whirlwind experience. From the craziness of Delhi, up north to the surreal Chandrigargh and then Jalandhar. I had spent a few days in the last of these living with a very protective local family, and …
Sunday Spotlight – New Orleans
For this week’s ‘Sunday Spotlight’, let’s take a journey to the states, to Louisiana in fact and perhaps the second greatest ‘party’ city in the USA. Oh. There’s an idea for a City Rumble! Hehe. I’ll be juxtaposing again before I know it. I visited New Orleans after a long day of flights …

Foto Friday – Rila Monastery, Bulgaria
Here is a glimpse of the amazing, beautiful Rila Monastery located 117 km south of Sofia, the Bulargarian capital. More to follow on Sunday!
City Rumble – Singapore versus Kuala Lumpur
Ahhhh here we are! Almost neighbours, hubs for budget travel, shopping, bright lights and more, well, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, looking on from an outsider’s perspective, seem naturally to be rivals. I wonder if people living in either city feel that way (yes, cue for comments!). I’ve been through Kuala Lumpur a couple of times, …

The Beauty of Bagan Part Two – Temples
Hi there! Today I wanted to feature the video I’ve made of the temples at Bagan, however I thought I’d let you know about the four temples that I remember most vividly from Myanmar’s amazing Bagan first. These are the temples that feature primarily in the video. Bupaya Bupaya is a temple on the …
