Ok, so it has taken a while for this one to materialise too. That went fast! I remained in Christchurch for 10 days in total! No idea how. Combination of laziness and getting comfortable in the place was to blame I think. While I still had the car, I first went for a drive to a place called Arthur's Pass. It was more about the drive than anything, which was as fantastic as ever. Arthur's Pass itself is a small town but there's a few hikes in the area. I...

Where to start with this one. New Zealand via Singapore. A quick paragraph about Singapore. First, it's expensive! Very expensive, especially compared to what I'd come to expect from the rest of Asia. And then I made it even more expensive than it needed to be because I decided to go to Universal Studios. That was well worth the visit apart from giving myself motion sickness for the majority of the day. I went to a museum or two other that, but it was a p...

It seems it's been almost 3 weeks since the last entry. That's been quite the blur, to say the least. I will endeavour to make this blog relatively brief. I mentioned at the end of the previous entry that I was spending a few more days in Hanoi, prior to meeting friends. I did that. I can't remember what I did in those days, but I think I just chilled by day and partied reasonably hard by night. Hanoi remains a wonderful city. A friend from Pai, Woody,...

So it seems it's been more than two weeks since the last blog. That went fast. Very fast. I've also been relatively busy but still lazy in those two weeks. I ended up staying in Hoi An for another few nights - making it 10 in total. Really not what I expected when I first arrived after that bus journey. It's a while ago so I can't remember much about it, but I did meet a new bunch of people over so-called family dinner. That turned into another fun night...

Apparently, it has been a while since the last blog. Main reason being there isn't much to write about across the last two weeks. I ended up spending another three nights in Kuala Lumpur. I went back to the same hostel as previously because it's a very nice space to be in, although don't tell the manager who can accurately be informed he's a ****. But he informs me of the same so it's very much mutual. I didn't do much by day on my return to KL because I...
