12/03/2014 Got picked up by minibus with a load of other tourists. Got my boarding pass with Air Asia which was printed on a receipt piece of paper that you'd get from a shop lol. Arrived in Yangon and bought some local currency with my dollar. Walked out of the airport and found a local bus stand, got the bus in for 200k when the taxi was quoted at 7000k. Now that's one hell of a saving! Got off and was really impressed. There was a massive white colonial...

07/03/2014 Arrived in Schipol and found out my mate was also gonna be in Burma at the time, more the merrier. I boarded my plane which turned out to be a china airways flight. Was pretty old school inside but the service was good and the film selection was toppa. Watched gravity, 12 years a slave and up.

The airport was really busy and there was a massive queue to get to get through immigration. I knew I ...

Today was the day I fulfilled my dream of seeing the Tigers Nest monastery. And I was gonna do it in traditional dress, boom shiva lol. The day was a cloudy and I was praying it weren't gonna rain or snow. We then drove back to Paro and started the trek. We came through the woods and there it was! Perched on the cliff a...

13/02/2013 Got a lift into the airport in one of Katmandu's taxis which are ALL knackered old Suzuki swifts off about 20 year ago. Didn't even have seatbelts in the back. Lawrence had a bit of difficulty in the airport after he couldn't carry on his hiking poles nor bungee cord from the trek so he had to put them in the hold. He also got his bag searched at customs for no apparent reason to which he was fuming about. He didn't half stand his ground though, a...
