The Return to Kolkata – Walking Tour!
My first stop in India this year was Kolkata (formerly known as Calcutta). My aim for the journey was to cross as many countries via land borders as possible, sadly it was not possible to cross from Dhaka to Kolkata by land because they were (maybe still are, I don’t know) hanging onto an old …

Andy Versus Qantas (why I’ve Had It With Australia’s Main Airline)
Howdy all! Well, how’s everyone doing today? Do I need a new sign in phrase? Not feeling very creative I guess at the moment. So yeah, we need to talk about Qantas.
