why o why Simon, one question; why didnt you ask me to go with you?! It looks like your having an amazing time and seeing things that i can only dream of. Next time you go traveling, (not that you have anywhere left to see as youve seen pretty much the whole world), take me with you!...
Hey Seem'oh! You know... maybe there wouldn't be so much tension/violence on the streets if your people didn't try to colonize my people... bad joke!
Anyway, as always, it's good to hear from you. Sounds like you're having an eventful trip. I hope you're enjoying your extended vacation and not getting into too much trouble.
Take care of yourself!!

Watch out for the buddhas My Girlfriend likes the Pha That Luang photo! Make sure you don't get 'Buddhad' out. You can get 'Buddha Blindness', where you have seen too many Buddhist temples and so by the end, you are left standing gawping with a thousand yard stare when the guide book suggests you go and see the 'laughing/ sitting/ emerald/ golden/ great buddha', in some town or other even when it may be quite good. I suggest being selective about your Buddhas - you can have too much of a good thing. Go easy bud
camera idea! We've all heard the phrase, "What does a Scotsman wear under his kilt?"..........well, "What does a Tibetan monk wear under his robe?" (should one's mother be asking that?!
I want a suit! Dude, i know its hard to find the time to tell everyone what you are up to anyway so don't worry about writing to us individually! If I had known you were going to the tailors I would have got a tailor here to measure me, found out what the measurements were, got rid of him and sent them to you with the money! Mate, take care of yourself and keep it real. ps I wish I was living the adventures rather than arguing for and against "Is there a European Identity?" I don't care anymore!!!
Green with envy I know we've been to a lot of places in the world but your adventures continue to make me so jealous. It's another world out there. Love the pic of the bug in the web!
One day that pile of money will be £20 notes and you'll be rich!
Everwhere looks so sunny and hot, what I wouldn't give for a bit of heat right now; it's bloody freezing here!
Thank YOU!!! Hi Simon. Since I subscribed to your blog, I certainly read all your postings. It's a great little escape from the office adventures I am sure most of your blog readers enjoy: nightmarisch stuff like: the milk in the fridge is gone? - Who stole my sellotape? - 101 different stickers you can pin on your colleague's back.... isn't work life great ??? So thank YOU for spicing up our dull time in the office (or whereever people read your blog)
So, you are half way through your world trip...wow... I wonder whether you still remember all your adventures and names of people you spent some time with. I bet you will have lots of aaahhhs and ooooh yeahh when you read you blog after you ahev returned to the UK....
Only that much... shoudl you need some accomodation in (very) good ol' Aotearoa on future trips, look me up. You haven't see all of it... :-)
Take care and keep the blogs comming.
Hi! Hi! I've just finished my dissertation!! Hurrah! Was really hoping I'd go to hotmail and find a blog...and I did! yay! Just thought I'd share my excitement with you!!! Now I'll actually read the thing...! FINISHED!!! WOOO!
hi. happened to browse here while looking for interesting travel blogs i live in the philippines. That church you have in your picture is San Agustin Church. I remember going there for a field trip and getting locked inside the garden while having lunch there with a teacher and some classmate. I also got freaked out by one of the saints lining the corridors, the one with an axe on his head.
Anyway, i hope you enjoyed your visit here.
Well, if you don't like working for John Lewis, you can certainly make it as a travel writer; that way someone else gets to pay for everything! Great use of similes! Got any ideas for new ways to cook rice?
We continue in awe of the adventure Simon - We have been looking at the blog, looking onthe world map and Grace and Colin just want to know how to get there - Wow Wow - grate pictures, love the choc hills
dude! Well, it had to happen sometime. The perfect flow of Queens English grammar in these here blogs has finaly come to an end with 'I was well impressed' bringing the stain of Americanisms along. Ah well. Oh and that has to be the least bombed looking bombed house ive ever seen, if that makes sense. But apart from that, the jealousy is still not subsiding after all this time, and looks like you're still having an amazing time. Git. Speak soon mate, and keep on living life to the full!
Cute? I don't think so. I know a great recipe for tarsier casserole (stew to the working class) although it is advised to remove metatarsals and phalanges (distal, middle and proximal) as they pose a choking hazard.
I've just finished University, at Leeds studying Geography, and have a year free. Since I didn't take a 'gap' year, but have had a taste of travelling for a while, it would seem only inevitable that 9-months away, continuing the geography experience, is in order.
Thought I'd keep a blog instead of pestering peeps every few days with mass emails about giant scorpions and losing my luggage in a semi-humorous way. Feel free to email me tho, and I will reply :)
Oh and the photo is my audition for DKNY's next sunglasses campaign...... full info
