Washinton DC has so many interesting and famous sites, and memorials too to Americans who lost their life in war. I find this one to be the most moving and strangely captivating.

Review – Top Garden Guesthouse, Chiang Mai
The last of my reviews of the budget places I stayed at in my recent journey to Thailand and Myanmar, I returned to Thailand after 17 days in Myanmar and headed up to Chiang Mai, a place I felt at least had changed even more than Bangkok in some ways since my 1999 visit. Not …
A Day on the Lake Part Two
Continuing on from the first part of my time in Inle Lake (CLICK HERE), the day continued after the Nan Ba Market where we were taken to see the rolling of cigars. Now, when one thinks about cigars one naturally thinks of Cuba and that part of the world, so I was surprised to think …
Eurovision – what in Europe?
As the evening grows here in Australia, no doubt people have headed to bed and set their alarm clocks for 5am to get up early to see how the contest unfolds in 2015. Not me, I have work at 8am and frankly, I can watch it later. I guess I'm just not 'hardcore' like I …

Accommodation Review – Zawgi Inn, Inle Lake, Myanmar

Eurovision – My Secret Favourites
Okay – they won’t be quite so secrets after I publish a blog post about them! Eurovision week is upon us again, and this year AUSTRALIA have an entry. No, I have no idea how they justify that but we do love the world’s biggest song contest here in Australia. Have I ever personally been …
Trip of a Lifetime – The Czech Republic & Norway
Crikey, it’s been MONTHS since I posted on the story of my first ever solo backpacker adventure. Readers may (or may not) recall that I had almost got to the end of my time in Europe, which had seen me through Germany, Italy, France, the UK, Sweden, Denmark yada yada yada. When last I left …

Accommodation Review – Moon Light Guesthouse, Thazi, Myanmar
Thazi is not a place that tourists rush to, it’s one of those places they pass through on their way somewhere else. It sits on main highways and has a biggish train station, and it was my rest between Bagan and Inle Lake. Not that a rest stop is really needed, it was only a …

A Kingdom of Tigers
The one thing I did with my time away that seems to have captured most people’s interest is spend time with tigers in the sanctuary ‘Tiger Kingdom’, not far from Chiang Mai, so I thought it would be worth a blog post. I must admit initially I had no plans to visit it, in fact …
