Review – Jetstar Dreamliner Flight
Howdy all. So now my reviews are moving on to the recent flights I took. I have already ranted and raved about my crappy experience on Jetstar on the way home, sometimes one just needs to get stuff out of one’s system. My experience with the Dreamliner on the flight over to Bangkok, back on …
Sunday Snapshot: Philadelphia
Yep I’m sticking to America over this weekend! For those interested in American history datiung back to independence and the formation of democracy and government in the US, Philadelphia is the perfect place to visit.

Trip of a Life Time – New York City

Accommodation Review – Zawgi Inn, Inle Lake, Myanmar
Yes the accommodation review is in again, following on sequentially on my trip to Myanmar. Nyaungshwe is the town where almost everyone, especially the backpacks, stay when visiting Inle Lake. It’s a dusty old town, but nice enough and you can get the boats that take people around the lake at Nyaungshwe which is pretty …
