Hi all- I Hope this post finds you all well and enjoying the coming autumn (or spring if you are down under!) So its been ages since my last entry. So much for once a week. Since the last entry, Carla and her bloke Joao have visited, left, visted, left, visited and left once more! Was great to get to know Joao a bit and see Carla again. We shared a few too many beers, some curry, a couple of pub quizzes, some pool and basically have a fly-by all around catch up. I'll be back in London for her birthday-which [View Full Entry]

Comme un retour au bercail Singapore, Changi Airport, le soir du 22 septembre. Un petit boeing 737 de Malaysian Airlines, en provenance de Kuala Lumpur, se fraye timidement un chemin sur le tarmac, entre la meute imposante des Airbus A-380 de Singapore Airlines. A bord, un voyageur suisse, parti le matin meme de Tokyo, finit de lire un quotidien malaysien en anglais, le premier journal depuis plusieurs mois. Apres d'interminables zig-zag, l'avion se trouve finalement une petite place libre pour apponter. Il est 20h25, le commandant de bord annonce 28 degrés au sol et remercie les pas [View Full Entry]

A Night at the Airport Now that we have been on the road for 8 months now we have had a lot of experiences typical of backpackers. One experience, though, eluded us, until now - spending the night in an airport. We left Hanoi on a ridiculously cheap Tiger Air flight that landed in Singapore at 1:30am on the night of 27 September. The flight was cheap enough that we agreed to land in the middle of the night. And, we thought that by the time we exited baggage claim there would be no reason to pay for a hotel [View Full Entry]

Day 3 Of The F1 Robbert got all of us tickets to the qualifyings, which we watched poolside at bar that seemed to serve everything for free. The sound and feelings from track floated on down to us where we were situated 5 metres from track :) We chilled out there and got invited upstairs to enjoy the view from the deck with the boys from porsche. I made a bet with one of the guys that If Webber made top 10 in qualifyings, that he would go in the pool, and vice versa. Well he came 4th!! So Stu followed [View Full Entry]

The adventure began early in the morning on Thursday September 24th in Boston..we woke up at 5am, both of us working the day before, but we had such an excitement that it didn't really matter to either of us. I of course was a bit anxious, knowing that we would be leaving the house, the cat, my family for weeks....ahhhhhh. I just wanted to make sure everything was covered and of course I couldn't be more thankful for Al being so calming and reassuring that everything was going to be ok....he's my rock and my light thank god we found each [View Full Entry]

After tonnes of international texts, agreeing to meet up with numerous people, I managed to get a definite YES into the F1. Jana and I trekked to Gate 2 where we sat and waited for Dominic to give us passes in. As we waited a really lovely guy came up to us and gave us 2 day passes :) so sweet, but alas we couldn't enter through that gate, we had to go back to gate 7. so we waited for Dom. He came out waving shiny PIT LANE passes.... amazing. We went into the pits and he took us directly [View Full Entry]

FORMULA ONE DAY ONE RED BULL RACING PARTY Byron picked me up with Dio, and we headed to Edmunds house to have pre drinks (some wine and doritos, perfect model diet) As Ed drove us all in his van to Sentosa, we sung songs and all go a little excited about the party ahead. On the way to Wavefront I saw Leko, and bounded up to him, over excited i knocked him over. a couple of scrapes and bruises on both of us, we dusted ourselves off and headed towards the crowd. Getting into the party was no hassle, unlike expected [View Full Entry]

Llegamos muy pronto por la mañana, ya estábamos muertos de tantos días levantándonos muy pronto y no parar de visitas a ciudades, eran ya 3 países en 3 días, así que comenzamos dejando las cosas en el hostal que estaba en “little india”. Es una parte famosa de la ciudad de Singapur, es un barrio indio muy recargado y muchas tiendas. No se parecía mucho a la India que yo conocí y desde luego nos dimos una vuelta por la zona pero no merecía mucho la pena, aunque venga en todas las guías como obligatorias a visitar. Desde ahí nos fuimos [View Full Entry]
