Eat Drink Man Woman
When we arrived in Thailand we rented the scooter and we’ve not really made much use of it going round the local area so the other day we decided to go in a little bit of an exploration to areas…
Taxi or Nazi?
Another failure in the marketing department. This guy we think is hailing a taxi but I’m pretty sure it’s a German late 1930s propaganda statue. Look at the hat! It looks rather like a uniform peaked cap. The toilets in…
App War….
More of a public service announcement than anything else because it took me ages to find out how to fix my little issue with my new phone. I got myself a new xiaomi redmi smartphone and when I picked you…

Absolutely Bananas…
Okay so it’s not that interesting but just shows you that things that go off in Thailand go off in the rest of the third world. I say the rest of the third world although Thailand in the main can…
Why oh Y
Just replacing the Y in Pattaya. She’s still standing there. Been out all night. Dedicated to civic duty.

Shiwa Ng’andu House (Africa House), Northern Zambia Shiwa Ng’andu House was built by Sir Stewart Gore Browne and apparently it looks like an English country house has just appeared in deepest Africa. If you are driving to Kapishya Hot Springs…
Kung Fu Panda…
Back on the subject of marketing and products you literally can’t buy somewhere else. Did you know in various Supermarkets on our travels you can buy Panda meat…. It’s actually relatively cheap. This one was Giant Panda even. Giant Panda…

The Umbrella Academy

Dubai Mall
Fun and games in Dubai. What more can you say. You could walk around for days, it would take weeks to learn where stuff is as even the staff don’t know. Luckily they have screens that show you the way.
