                    <title>550 days later</title>
                    <description>I am sitting in Margao train station in Goa about to embark on my journey home after 550 days of seeing the world  a 12 hour sleeper train to Mumbai arriving at 6 in the morning my flight leaves at 1pm takes 11 hours I think and then I'll probably end up waiting 5 hours or so at Heathrow so as to get an overnight bus to Glasgow that arrives at a sensible time rather than at 3am.  Although Thu</description>

                    <title>South Thailand  where have all the backpackers gone</title>
                    <description>One of the things that travelling teaches you is that your expectations mean nothing and so it was with the south of Thailand where my notions of what it would be like turned out to be 10 years out of date.  My mental image of beaches full of hale and hearty travellers all sharing tales of travels around the globe proved to be well misfounded.  Thailand even the supposedly 'backpacker' areas i</description>

                    <title>Malaysia</title>
                    <description>Malaysia hadn't been in my plans at all but with it being 9 degrees and raining in Hanoi and 0 degrees in the area that I'd planned to go trekking in the north of Vietnam it quickly became a part of them after I went into the Air Asia office to find out where I could fly to from Hanoi.  It meant I can head up overland through Thailand to catch my next flight in a month's time to India.  I liked</description>

                    <description>I travelled to Saigon also known as Ho Chi Minh City from Pnom Penh to meet up with Kiran who had come all the way from sunny Glasgow to join me on my travels for a couple of weeks.  As he only had a bit less than two weeks to travel from Saigon to Hanoi we were on a schedule something I'm not used to anymore So day 1 was spent exploring Saigon where we went to the market and the War Remnan</description>

                    <description>The quick version of what I did in Cambodia because writing it up has been holding up my blog updates for a month now I flew to Siem Reap from Pakse on Christmas Eve employed a moto driver to take me to the temples for the next 3 days and then went to Angkor Wat for Christmas morning sunrise.  Me and a whole lot of other people all stumbling about in the dark trying to get the most photogeni</description>

                    <title>Laos</title>
                    <description>I spent a month in Laos in total and it still wasn't enough to take everything in.  After doing the trek mentioned in the previous blog I headed for an even smaller town Muang Sing which was according to Lonely Planet the eco trekking centre of Laos and one of the highlights of South East Asia.  They must have been having an off day there was absolutely nothing to do and no one knew of anyth</description>

                    <title>Why should we have all the fun</title>
                    <description>Part 2 of the previous journal  Why should it just be the tourists who get to take pictures  These were taken by various village kids of Ban Nam Lai using my camera. The numbers don't mean anything just you have to give the photo a title to be able to upload it</description>

                    <title>An Akha village wedding</title>
                    <description>I spent a couple of days trekking in northern Laos from Luang Nam Tha to a hill tribe village Ban Nam Lai where we spent the night.  There were no roads at all to the village so not even a motorbike there and other than the odd Man Utd item life there seemed to our European eyes to be unchanged from what it must have been like hundreds of years ago although the villagers may well feel differ</description>

                    <title>North Thailand</title>
                    <description>I've spent the last few days in the north of Thailand going on treks for 3 days from Chiang Mai and for 2 days near Chiang Rai.  I'd hoped to do a bit more trekking and a bit less trailing round agencies looking for treks but it seems to be pretty difficult to get more than a 3 day trek and most of those involve driving round in a 4x4 elephant riding rafting etc leaving you to do about 2 hou</description>

                    <description>Hve only been in Thailand a few days now  spent 4 days in Bangkok saw a few of the main sights the Grand Palace and Reclining Buddha are amazing.  I'm now in Chiang Mai in the north of Thailand after an overnight train journey a proper sleeper service where someone comes round and makes your bed up for you it was brilliant after a year of many overnight journeys I've not been able to lie ou</description>

                    <title>Tokyo and Hong Kong</title>
                    <description>I only had 3 days each in Tokyo and Hong Kong but managed to see plenty.  The day I arrived in Tokyo there was some cultural action around where I was staying not sure what it was but I think it was a 'national cultural day' which could mean anything.  I was staying in Asusaka near a main temple where there was dancing and music going on in the morning.  I'd flown over night so crashed out in</description>

                    <title>Australia and New Zealand</title>
                    <description>I started the New Zealand and Australia part of my trip in Auckland which was cold and grey bit of a shock after Hawaii.  I decided to head north to where it was slightly warmer and went to the Bay of Islands area for a few days where I went to the beach in Russell for a couple of days and went on a day trip to Cape Reinga the most northerly part of New Zealand.  After that it was to Wellingt</description>

                    <title>Vancouver San Francisco Hawaii</title>
                    <description>Well all my promises of regular updates due to my new digital camera have proved to be as I suspected a load of rubbish.  But I only have one month and a bit to update which is better than normal.  From Vancouver I went to Vancouver Island which proved to be pretty expensive to get around by bus so I had to limit myself to a couple of places.  I started off with Port Alberni where I met a Ge</description>

                    <description>It's expensive you can buy Irn Bru in the supermarket and everyone looks like they've just stepped out of a Gap advert so I must be in Canada.  I've been in Vancouver for a few days now and I love it I can see why it's meant to be the most 'livable' city in the world or whatever.  Or perhaps it's still the effect of having spent 2 days in Dallas immediately before coming here which has got to</description>

                    <description>just a quick update to say that I tomorrow I am leaving Latin America and yes I know that there is still 4 months of updates on Central America missing  It's a combination of slow internet connections or in the case of Nicaragua no electricity some photos having been processed with big splodges all over them some not being put on disc and now my camera having given up.  But I will get roun</description>

                    <description>I'm in Mexico City at the moment having come here from Brazil via Easter Island and as usual I have about 2 months worth of travels to update so here goes.... From the Pantanal to Brasilia it was another 18 hour bus journey getting there at lunchtime. Because Brasilia isn't geared up for backpackers at all I only spent one night there in a 'budget' hotel 10 whole pounds having the whole d</description>
