Well hello,We finally made it through our 3 day airport madness to arrive Bangkok. The home of clean air and traffic free streets... not! We now both sound like we have been smoking 60 fags a day since birth.We headed to the Sukhumvit area and arrived at the Soi 1 guesthouse. After walking up endless staircases only to find this young Thai punk with huge yellow sunglasses in a dark room, we were told that only 12 person dorm rooms were available. So it was a quic...

Hi guys, Just a quick note to let you all know that we are safe and well. We arrived in Singapore today for an overnight stopover until we catch our flight to Bangkok tomorrow afternoon.

The bus ride wasnt to nice, it was very cramped and over crowded, buses in Asia have a tendancy to fill up twice or maybe 3 times the capacity so the result is a bus that has people hanging out the doors, windows oh and off th...

So we have reached our final destination in India - Varanasi, the home of the ganges. We got into the station around 11 and was greeted by another driver, some small fella with a dodgy tash, still, he was all smiles :) He took us to our hotel and left us to sort out or things before taking us to see some temples. Varanasi seems to be a place that has many different religions, from what I can remember I think its about 75% Hindu and the rest Buddist, Muslim and Ch...
