I always like to put my best foot forward, and here I am being perfectly normal on the platform at Yangon Central Station awaiting the train of yesterday's blog. (Read it here) And for fun I thought I'd share this restaurant sign from Nyangshwe in Myanmar too. This slick, professional design could be used for …
Well, not to start with a spoiler but, you know you’ve done well when you’re first taste of a country is your favourite place there five years later. And that’s Kyoto in a nutshell! I challenge anyone to visit and not simply love Kyoto. I flew into Kansai Airport. It’s on the coast and services …

Boom! The City Rumble is on again and today the contestants are two cities with an eye to the future and some of the world’s most ambitious architecture. In the red corner, from the UAE in the Middle East, weighing in at a population of 2.1 million is the glitzy Dubai reaching high for the …
