So I just got to Hoi An from Ho Chi Minh city ( saigon, for the old schoolers). I am not sure what to say about hcm honestly... It was great fun and it has a great nightlife, it did not offer much to see for tourists but it is definitely a place I would live in, no doubts about that. Some European expats I know took me out clubbing twice during my stay ( though I only actually made it into the club once, sigh..) and I can tell you two things: vietnamese drink li...

heyyyy, I've been a bit MIA these days cos my mental sanity has been put to the test in Siem Reap. Possibly the dirtiest and at the same time most charming place I've ever been to! Whoever said sleeping in Islamic countries is hard because of the 5am call to prayer, clearly has never been sleeping across the street from a Cambodian funeral home.

Lord Help me, as those who are familiar with me well know, I don't fend well up in the air, though I have gotten better over the last couple of years. I am massively excited to be visiting the temples of Angkor, which some of you may recognize from Tomb Raider ( I cert...

Hello! After an eternal day yesterday ( I got to the airport at 5am to catch my flight only to be redirected to the 6pm flight due to over booking) I am ecstatic to finally be in Cambodia! Time at the airport passed blissfully(not) between sleeping on airport benches, stuffing my face and shopping for pointless souvenirs of Thailand which were certainly more expensive than the ones I could've found in any market but were also of considerably higher quality. I ...

Goodmorning! I am half a drink away from quoting taio cruz ( and thats when you know its bad): i have a hangover.. and an evil one for that matter, I just hope I recover quickly cos passing out while trekking around the temples and trying to take pictures of the various Buddha icons is, how too put it... not ladylike and certainly not divine.. ugh! Was all worth it though, debauchery seems to be the hardwired in Thai's genes. Seems like noone can throw a trashy ...
