When it comes to spicy food, I'll try it. It doesn't really matter what it is. If it's got chilli in it, I will probably give it a go. I just love the stuff. I love the flavour; I love the sensation it leaves in my mouth. I even love the look of it. So [...]
Today's travel photo is of a boat making its way up Bangkok Noi in the Thonburi District of Bangkok, Thailand. Bangkok Noi is one of the main canals in Bangkok, and if you visit the Taling Chan floating market by boat, or do a canal tour, you will probably use this canal to get into [...]
My first impression of Kuala Lumpur was that it is a modern city on the move, ready to rival other big modern Asian cities. As I dug a little deeper into the city over the next few days, I realised that is so much more than that. It is also a city that embraces its [...]
Today's travel photo is of Lake C.Y. O'Connor in Mundaring, located in the hills behind Perth in Western Australia. This is the lake behind the Mundaring Weir, just outside of the town of Mundaring, and is one of the main sources of drinking water for Perth. A pipeline also runs all of the way from [...]
Today's travel photo is of some local food stalls along one of the quiet streets of Savannakhet in Southern Laos. The sleepy town of Savannakhet is a great place to grab a bike and just slowly cycle around the quiet streets. There isn't much of a tourist presence here and little stalls and hole in [...]
Although the rushed, over crowded and impersonal tour that I joined to the Mekong Delta in Vietnam was far from enjoyable, it did have the occasional small highlight that made it all worth it in the end. One of those moments was stopping at a honey bee farm, which at first appeared to just be [...]
From the window of my guesthouse in Chinatown, one of the first things I noticed was a building off in the distance with a huge, blue, star shaped roof. I had no idea what it was until I opened up my map of Kuala Lumpur and my Lonely Planet guide. That interesting building that I [...]
Today's travel photo is of the old bridge that crosses the river in Kampot, Cambodia. I found this bridge really interesting as it looks like three or four different bridges all connected together. I'm guessing that when one part has been destroyed by flooding it has been replaced by a completely different style and just [...]
Today's travel photo is of the spectacular cliffs of the Great Australian Bight, located on the Nullarbor Plain of South Australia. I took this photo during my recent road trip back across Australia from Perth to Brisbane. The scenery in this vast part of the country is just spectacular, and it is strange to see [...]
Chiang Mai is the first place I've ever stayed in a foreign country for longer than a couple of weeks. During my two months in this city in Northern Thailand I realised the benefits of an extended stay in one place. Once I had seen all of the popular tourist attractions, temples and markets, I [...]
