With the honourable exception to Russia, Prague was not only my first introduction to the Czech Republic, but my first taste of Eastern Europe in general. It wasn’t on my list of places to go in Europe on my trip of 1999, however it was always a possibility. I made some good friends as I …
Another look back at my time in the Republic of Georgia. This was after a few weeks of teaching and settling into life in a small Georgian town where power came and went as it pleased but the people were as warm as any you're likely to meet. Teaching it Up in Georgia Sorry for …

The final ‘Train Journeys’ from Myanmar. Sorry, meant to have this up months ago but the long queue of things I needed to edit just didn’t allow me time to do the video until this week! So, it was more than a year ago now that I took this trip – seems rather strange …

I had the most interesting day when I was in Mandalay. A very nice guy at the hotel I was staying at was recommended by a couple staying there to me to take me out to see the old town of Mingun. I’d already been on one day tour out of Mandalay, so this was …
