After a heavy night, we woke up feeling like death with a whole day and night of travelling ahead of us - not our greatest move. At 9am we headed to the airport to catch our flight from Siem Reap to Bangkok. As we got to the airport, the heavens opened and along came the thunder and lightening. This didn't really bother us too much but it did make us anxious as the plane we were getting was a small one with propellers. Thankfully by the time we boarded the stor...

05/09 - Wat Pho and Wat Arun. Still in Bangkok and getting sick of it, it's a full on city where tourists are treated like gullible idiots and we are ready to leave.

Tea how we drink it back at home is a lot different from how Asian people drink tea. Theirs is more commonly gree...

1st and 2nd September - travelling to Bangkok. Armed with just our backpacks, we set off on our worldwide adventure. It was an emotional goodbye but we were excited to find out what lay ahead. It's always been a dream of both of ours to travel and what's better than doing it together. Asia is known for having a culture very different to that of Europe and I am a true believer that you should learn about as many cultures as possible. Especially in this ever incre...
