ShangriLa? Hey, it´s beautiful up there... way to go! Great pictures...
Any chance you stop by ShangriLa and tell me exact location? :P Just a suggestion :PPP
Miss you
Thanks for "taking me" with you on this journey... love reading you ;)
A little confused Thank you very much for taking the time and reading our blog. As we encourage any comments, we thought it would be rude to ignore yours. We are not quite sure where exactly we were "dissin" the tourists - does saying that a place is touristy qualify as "dissin"? We describe places and situations as WE experience them, everyone is free to go and make their own picture. In fact, is this not the purpose of Travelblog? We are not here to write another lonely planet, but our own personal experience, utilising the freedom of speech. Of course we are tourists / travellers / globetrotters or whatever you want to call people who have a genuinly interest in other cultures and make an effort to understand and respect them. The only time we do not like to join the crowds is when local customs are not appreciated and/or when the chance to get a flavour of a culture is minimal - unfortunately this is the case all around the world at the "must do" - "must see" places. And again, this is not necessarily the "tourists" fault (as long as they behave that is) - it's just how the economy around these places responds to the masses of visitors. However, it would be a crime not to see the one or the other UNESCO heritage site on the way - don't you think? Hope we didn't put you off - stay tuned!
Make mine a Smokey and Chips!!! Dad, your comments are so random sometimes, Josie says she now knows where I get it from :)
Can I get my chippy order in early before we get back?
Food Well , going to the chippy is never going to be quite the same again . Glad you are so obviously keeping well and continuing to stretch yourself .
Namaste! Wow, you have no idea how bad I wanted to be there with you and am happy for you. Your stay there seems amazing!! I loved the henna thingy in your hands as well as your saree, Josie. You both looked great in your Indian outfits! :)))) I wish one day I´ll have the same chance to visit beautiful chaotic India! So I´ll contact my sister to get me this film Billa when it´s out! :)))) Love you guys! Ps: Learning any Hindi? ;)
Great Blog - and you highlight an important problem... I've seen so many bad divers with cameras - destroying coral, annoying the others in the group - I'm sure my photography annoys others occasionally - but I'm not destroying the reef in the process. Ideas - maybe divemasters should insist on at least 30 logged dives before the camera goes too. I used to give some of my customers a good telling off for such antics when I was working ;) Shame on North-Borneo Divers for big groups and tolerating divers who damage the reef - the customer is not king - but a guest on the reef - bad guests don't get invited back!
Great Blog You have a great blog here.I have not been back to Malaysia for a long time. Your blog really make miss all the great food. And so much changes in KL now
Training All those years of training as a student finally came in handy . Like the signs on the side of the Three Gorges , I am measuring the passage of time by the length of your hair .

Bloody amazing blog! Feeling nostalgic for my fatherland after being away for college.
Great work, glad you're enjoying the fantabulous highlights of the 'land-down-under'.
Best of luck in your travels!
So much fun! Just travelled the North Island myself and had an awesome time seeing hot pools etc etc - and I'm so glad you got to fulfill your skydiving dream in Taupo! Me too! I was attached to a Swedish guy named Zonky, who tried in vain to scare me - I was just too excited to be afraid! One of the best things I've done, definitely :-)
