Scammed in India – Delhi
Ahhh I had had a wonderful time in Agra, seeing the Taj Mahal, making friends and catching my first ever Bollywood film, and the ups and downs of my first visit to India seemed like they were ending on the up part. I had to get back to Delhi where I would spend a couple …
Sunday Spotlight – Luxor, Egypt
If the pyramids at Giza, near Cairo, and its amazing museum leave you wanting more history, more grandeur, more impressive statues and heck, more columns whilst you’re at it, then when in Egypt, head down to Luxor.

Angkor is the city that ruled lands in Cambodia and Thailand from the 8th to 14th century AD. Its stone structures and Bas Reliefs are simply amazing. With a …
Sunday Spotlight – Sofia
Another Sunday brings another spotlight, and this week we go to the Bulgarian capital, Sofia. When I went there in 2004 I was probably not exactly sure what I was going to get, but Bulgarian cities are very similar to other Eastern European cities and Sofia is actually quite a delight. There are beautiful churches, …
