One Day in Taipei
So, after every holiday there comes that time when you have to return home, to life and reality. And that came for me quicker than I would have liked certainly just over a month ago now. BUT – there was still a quick stopover to enjoy before getting back to the daily grind, and this …
Collingwood – An Explorer’s Guide to a Funky Suburb!
Yes folks, I'm back and so's Adrian and today we delve into the inner city suburb of Melbourne! Once a working class suburb full of factories, today it's very definitely undergone a major transformation (not necessarily a good thing) and is full of little shops, bars, breweries, art galleries and more.

Monies of Senegal
G'day folks. Well - the last country on my Dhaka to Dakar quest was Senegal, and luckily for this one I kept a few notes and a couple of coins for you to check out below. The CFA - exactly what the letters stand for appears to be up for debate but the best approximation …

What on EARTH is ART VO? Immersive Exhibition in Melbourne!

I entered the space pretty much ignorant of what 'ArtVo' was, but what I discovered was an 'immersive' experience set up for people to take photos of themselves in front of large, beautiful artwork.

Tuneful Tuesday – I Dig Rock N’ Roll Music
Howdy all! Following on from last week's post about Peter, Paul and Mary, today I have another classic of theirs to share - I Dig Rock N'Roll Music. This was covered by Carol Burnett and Vicki Lawrence on the former's variety show back in the 1970s, so I wanted to share bother versions and ask …

Lotte World – Korea’s Answer to Disneyland!
Hey all! Today I continue on with the story of my recent trip to Japan and Korea (and Taiwan). I’ve slowed down a bit as doing 3-4 days per blog creates long blog posts and life is pretty busy right now. So by doing shorter blog posts I am not overwhelmed and perhaps you, dear …
