Hello All! So I realise there has been around a 1 month hiatus. Sorry about that. And as I am someone who really can't leave things incomplete, it would pain me too much to miss out a big chunk of travel and just pick up from the present moment (10th July right now). Luckily, as you can see from the date on this blog update, the 'Off Exploring' website allows me to go back in time and update blogs with the correct date! So I can now just pick up where I l...

Quite an incredible city! We weren't quite sure how to feel about it It was like being back in the western world, although actually some aspects felt more developed than London.

I'm not sure whether the time has gone very quickly or very slowly - it all seems a bit of a mush, but had an incredible time so far and still have plenty more to come. I wanted to do an entry about the rough daily routine here. This is mine during the week - everyone differs slightly, but mine is pretty sta...
