Running in the Dushanbe Rain
Hi all. I am on my way to a lake called Iskanderkul and whilst stopped on the side of the road waiting for the driver I thought I'd at least start a blog post. Yesterday I was stuck in a lot of rain in Dushanbe as I went to a few museums. Unfortunately two were …
Down in Dushanbe the Surprising Tajik Capital
Yes folks it's dinner time here in Dushanbe and I'm at Cafe Merve awaiting my dinner. It's a very popular Turkish cafe/restaurant and it's been a long day.The city has surprised me in many ways.

The Stunning U Bein Bridge, Myanmar
Myanmar has plenty of things to see and do and visit, and one that I had the pleasure of visiting when I was there back four years now, was the U-Bein Bridge. It is or at least was the longest teak wood bridge in the world – something that I guess wasn’t particularly amazing to …
Why I Love Central Asia as a Destination!
Later this year I will be returning to Central Asia for the second time – the first now being 8 years ago (and it doesn’t feel that long ago to be sure). This time I will take in three countries, as I did last time. This time it will be Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Last …

Salar de Uyuni
Howdy all from Bolivia for the last time. This trip at least. I've just returned to Uyuni after a three-day trip to the Salar De Uyuni, so I'm going to try and give you a brief run down of how it went. In Uyuni there are loads of operators offering trips to the salt plains. …
Arequipa and Culco Canyon
Howdy all. I've around an hour before I need to leave for my bus to Cusco, so I thought I'd quickly bash out a blog entry so that I leave Arequipa up to date. Arequipa is a pretty pleasant town all said with two major attractions, the Santa Catalina Monastery, and the mumified remains of …
The Final Wrap – School’s Out!
Well... that's that! In a blink of an eye, somehow I am finished with teaching schools in Japan. Today, at my second school, a special needs school, I went to graduation. It was an interesting day, some happy faces, some nervous ones. It is interesting to me that comparing the two, very very …
