So off I went travelling again, via Doha airport this time (Qatar). I love airports..because? They are full of booze! Touching down in Dubai I found it extremely hot and a rather depressing grey colour and yeah hot (if I didn’t mention it already). I asked a few people and they said the sky is […]

Flying back…
In a couple of hours, just surfing on the 20RM an hour Internet in the hotel lobby, things are incredibly expensive here.. The exchange rate is 1-1 pretty much (1RM = 0.994 Dirhams or something) but everything is double the price, no wonder people love taking holidays in Malaysia.. A KFC meal will cost you […]
Fort Santiago – The Walled City of Intramuros, Manila
After a good night out, I got up at lunchtime and headed out with Bryanboy to Intramuros, the walled city and Fort Santiago. The location of this site was also once the palace and kingdom of Rajah Suliman, chieftain of Manila. It was destroyed by the conquistadors upon arriving in 1570, encountering several bloody battles […]
Sunny Manila & A Night Out With Bryanboy (AGAIN!)
Got to KLIA nice and early, even with the horrific traffic near Sierramas (stupid flyover has to be torn down). Had an interesting breakfast, and started on my book, Midnight Cowboy (will review seperately later). Arrived in Ninoy Aquino without any trouble and passed through immigration fairly fast. (more…)

Moms Trip – Day 5 – An Evening at KLCC Petronas Twin Towers

Cambodia Day 5 – Leaving Peace of Angkor and Thet
So sadly, the last day came, didn’t do much really except walked out to try and find some baguettes they sell at the road side. Unfortunately couldn’t. So we had some breakfast at a restaurant by the traffic lights on Wat Bo road (There are only 3 sets of traffic lights in Siem Reap, and […]
Cambodia Day 4 – An Afternoon at Tonle Sap (The Great Lake)
After the mornings harrowing visit to the Land Mine museum in Siem Reap we had lunch near the guesthouse at a local restaurant then had a rest back at the Guest house before heading out to Tonle Sap (The Land Mine post provoked quite a discussion at Tomorrow). Of course with lunch was some Angkor […]
Cambodia Day 4 – A Morning at Lolei, Bakong and Preah Ko (Roluos Group)
Up again early for breakfast, breakfast being Porridge, much like the rest of Asia (Rice porridge or Congee, not Oats like the Scottish were expecting), or something like Toast or Cereal. I had space on my camera again on this day, as the night before I burnt all my pictures to a CD at a […]
Cambodia Day 3 – An Afternoon at Ta Keo, Ta Prohm and Old Market – Siem Reap
So after having lunch back at Angkor Wat, and wondering around the stalls for a while, we headed off to the next temple, Ta Keo. Ta Keo is an incomplete temple in the Khleang style built as the state temple of Jayavarman V. It was dedicated in 1000 but work was later abandoned, with little […]
