Vientiane is the capital city of Laos and it has a very different feel than most capitals of the world. It has a real small town atmosphere rather than the feeling of a city. I suppose Laos does not really have cities, just small towns and villages with seemingly more temples than cars. Many backpackers don’t spend much more than a couple ... Read More »
After all the Chang I had been drinking I realised that the two elephants on the beer bottles logo were the closest to the real thing that I had seen in Thailand. When the opportunity arose to go riding Elephants in Thailand, I could not refuse. Getting on was tricky, we were on a raised deck and had to climb ... Read More »
This is one of those instances where the story behind the photo is much better than the photo itself. Everybody has seen a cross before, right?

We spent a day on the old North Borneo Railway (now called the Sabah State Railway) a 134KM stretch of track originally built in the 1890′s. Train travel is one of the types of transport that I really enjoy. The scenic routes taken by trains often offer views you would never usually see. Our day started early, as we wanted to do the ...

It was feeding time and we were waiting patiently. Every time a gust of wind caught a branch we would direct our attention and focus our eye. We were visiting Orangutans in Borneo in the jungles just outside Kuching. In the distance the trees started rustling just a little more, people started to point and that’s when I spotted it. Swinging ... Read More »

This ridiculous resort ... Read More »
