It being Sunday means it’s time to shine the spotlight on another city. Today we go inland into China to the citadel of Xi’an. Xi’an is a fast growing city and a half, as are many places in modern China. As I came in from the airport (after my delayed and eventful flight on Spring …
All good things come to an end, so they say. And so did my first ever overseas backpacking adventure. As I flew from Toronto to Los Angeles, I knew that there was very little left to go. And in some ways that meant that I could relax, have a ball and enjoy my last two …

Let’s get ready to rumble! Okay, sorry, that’s not a little bit like me! Here we are, Thursday, and welcome to my brand new piece – ‘City Rumble’, comparing my experiences in two comparable cities and deciding which I preferred and of course, giving reasons why.

Foto Friday featured a shot from Elmina, a small fishing town on the coast of Ghana. When I visited Elmina I did it in an afternoon from the bigger Cape Coast, a short tro-tro ride away. Tro-tros are the local transport, like a mini-van in some ways, packed to the hilt, not very comfortable but …
