Teeth Pulling-Fun Guys, please help me with a quick bit of info...? Just by chance before updating my own blog, I clicked on yours as im going to be there in June (SE Asia). Decided to get my wisdom teeth out in Bangkok as its cheap as chips. Question, can you recommend a good surgeon, yours? Anything about getting teeth out here that I need to know? Appreciate any comments :) im on srichnz@gmail.com or www.travelblog.org/bloggers/frolik/ thanks!
"Obrigada" Obrigada is Thank you in Portuguese. I'm very grateful to have met such a great guy who "took" me on an incredible journey in Asia, with pictures and wonderful insights. I can't wait to see where you are "taking me"next. Tchau.

filling in the spaces Good stuff. Myanmar is one of my favorite visits ever. It was good to see and hear about so many things I was interested in but never saw myself. How was the spirulina beer? I looked everywhere for that stuff but no one ever had any...bummer. Anyways, congrats on what I'm sure was a great experience. Thanks for sharing.
Great post Thank you - I especially appreciated the photos of Bago, as my wife and I will be there in less than 3 months. But it was all good - text and photos.

Again... Incredible pictures and accompaining comments! Your insights about the people are remarkable. We need more people like you, who can relate to the true culture and feelings of less fortunate ones.
I really appreciate you suggesting your blog to me on the Thorn Tree. It is beautifully written and has really strengthened my resolve to visit this clearly divine country. Did you ever feel unsafe?
Great ... Hi Tim. Great photos and info! They nicely complement the generous and informative messages you sent about Burma. Thanks for sharing.
Tchau. Patricia
Belated birthday wishes Hi Tim and Kylie, As usual your blog on Burma was fascinating. The division between the opulence of the temples and the people is huge, don't know if I could cope with the poverty. Sorry Tim meant to get your birthday wishes in on time but you know how times goes, anyway hope you had a good day on the 6th. Love Maria and Stan
Isn't Religion Wonderful Nice writing mate, beautiful photo's to. You manage to bring back the magic and beauty of Burma.
And yet again the human race wasts money on religion...
Like the Nigerian MP who when asked why their country was one of the poorest, most violence, corrupt and dangerous in the world and what solutions they had to solve the problem, replied with "We just need to pray harder".
Myanmar My husband and I enjoyed reading your blog on Burma. We visited Yangon in November while traveling through Asia on a Cathay Pacific Asian Pass. We agree with everything that you wrote. My husband was a little uneasy about going to Burma but is now glad that he did.
I hope that you continue to enjoy your trip.
Stay safe,
Everette Studdard
sex trade and motos Dionysus wrote: 'as long as (the sex trade) isn't hurting anyone.'
???
Is this guy for real? I wonder how many sex workers 'Dionysus' believes are working in a sex industry unhurt and by choice other than dire economic need, including parents or relatives selling them into it. and how many he knows personally.
Anyway, I actually came into the messages because I wanted to ask about the term 'moto' you used, Tim. is it a local term just in Cambodia and does it mean anything with a motor, or stuff that takes passengers or what? (this is research for my book of course...)
Minglaba to Kylie. glad to see you've finally got to your beloved Yangon, Tim!
hiya tim and kylie, amazing blog as ever, i cannot get over the friendliness of these people, i was wondering from looking at the destination list, is this your final port of call?
life here same as ever, work, eat, sleep, thank god there are people like you reporting back to the rest of us tied to our desks xxxxxxxxxxxxx
What, sex? You're joking, right, when you recoil at the filthy "sex tourism" growing up in Cambodia? First, it might do you well to realize, finally, at your age, that sex is a perfectly natural human endeavor, and that people have always and will always seek it out. It may also be time for you to grow up and realize that the filthy "sex trade" exists in every country in the world. Some more visible - some less. My advice is to get off the high moral horse and let people live their lives, as long as they are not hurting anyone. What? People want to have sex??? C'mon dude.
so interesting.... Hi, fantastic read as usual, its all so interesting and now dom and I look up where you've been in this great travellers atlas I bought dom for Christmas. Love to you both xxxx
Train Good trip. I have my fingers crossed that you are wrong about the passanger train which I have read runs to Battambang on Saturday and returns Sunday. The look of the station gives me hope.
funny! Hi Guys,
Just read this blog and it takes me right back to last year.. If you check out my blogs when i was in cambodia you'll find the pictures exactly the same! I laughed so much when i saw the pic of all those guys in the taxi (?).... we travelled ni a 'shared' taxi from Sinoukville to Kampot and had a massive argument with them when we got there!!! Took us 6 hours to get them to go to when we arrived. Now managed to land a job and living in Sydney.... all the best guys
Mystical Cambodia When I read your comments on Cambodia felt really sad, such a lovely country being ruined by outside influences. Your descriptions make you feel as though you are there, another one on the list!! Where to next?
UK? Love to you and Kylie
Kia Ora & welcome to our blog;
It may look like we've given up on the travels, but there will be more.... one day.
Left the UK in the mid 1990's with plans for a year or so of exploring. Finally made it home again eleven years later, only to set off again soon after. Got lost along the way with a couple of years travelling in Asia, a year living, working & travelling to all corners of Australia & the rest travelling & later living & getting married in New Zealand.
Highlights in no particular order include; Syria (x2) , Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Nicaragua, China (x2), Burma (x3), Viet... full info
