The dust has settled. It is time for the last instalment of the magnificent memoirs of Kristopher Lopez's Asian Adventure. I left Australian shores on the 27th of January and recently returned early in the morning on the 2nd of May.

I have seen beautiful landscapes, met wo...

;) It?s close to the end. This will be the second last installment of the chronicle covering my exploits throughout South East Asia. A depressing occasion? or a joyous occasion?

Karina and I had spread our time around Thailand fairly evenly. 6 days at Krabi. 5 days at Phuket. 2 days at Koh Samui. 10 days at Koh Phangan. 4 days at Bangkok. 3 days at Lampang. 7 days ...
