I decided to give this stupid blog thing a try again. I finally arrived in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia after 24hrs of transit. Bangkok to hong kong, wait 5 hours, fly to Beijing, wait a few more hours then fly to Mongolia. I arrived very early in a small airport with only a few airports and a rickety old luggage carrousel. Luckily the guesthouse had arranged to have a driver pick me up at 4am in the morning. As we are walking to his vehicle, I take one step outsi...

If you blink, you could drive past the Cameron Higlands town we were staying it, despite it's size. And ...

After we arrived from a long bus ride into Kula Lumpur, we began our next mission of trying to find our hostel, which is somewhere within walking distance of the main bus depot. Armed with a map and directions would sound like it was easy enough. But street signs are.. Rare. What was supposed to take a short 15 minute walk, turned into close to an hour. Back tracking, and being pointed in different directions when asking locals who were surprisingly eggar to he...
