Siewch's Guestbook

Hit the ground running
I'm seriously impressed with how much energy you two tackled your two days in Berlin, specially given the night spent in Heathrow on the way there! I loved that you went to the David Hasselhoff Museum, I'm so curious about his relationship with Germany, and the fact that he still pops up on ads in Australia! That man has done pretty well from two TV shows (I did love Knight Rider very much though) :)

Berlin
We love Berlin... thanks for the memories.

Bangkok
Lovely to read about your reminiscing, Siewch. I often think about revisiting the places abroad where I've lived, wondering how much they have changed. It must have been a lovely trip down memory lane for you, especially as Bangkok seems to have done so much in making you who you are today. Your 2017 Aircraft Graveyard blog was actually your first blog entry I read, so reading this was also a trip down memory lane somewhat for me too ?

Happy Place
I loved the point about you being in your happy place, Siewch, sat eating at a makeshift table with traffic whizzing past ? It's so wonderful that you were able to get on the road again, and very fortunate indeed that you were able to visit before they reimposed quarantine. Really quite sad to read about the drop in tourism numbers for the locals, though I do imagine Thailand without the tourist hordes must be amazing.

Well Done!
Wow, well done Siewch! I'm mightily impressed that you were able to face the bureaucracy, and get out there on the travelling road again. Very inspiring ? I too would have had a fitful night awaiting the test result, and well done on your decision to continue despite the new variant emergent. I'm happy that you are travelling again, and happy to be reading your blog entries again! Hope you had a lovely time in Singapore with your family, and I loved reading about your explorations of Chiang Mai from more of a local's perspective. The Hobbit house café looks amazing ?

Bangkok
Enjoyed your blog—brought back memories!

Thank you so much for this blog...
I also grew up in Bangkok, and your reliving of your time there brought back so many memories of my own.

Thailand
Thailand has so many beautiful statues and sculptures. I'm enjoying your trip.

New York City
Wow, what a dynamic city! So many new things seem to have sprung up since I was last there around 10 years ago. So good to read that you have resumed a bit of travel again. It looks like you were able to have an amazing few days in New York. Thank you for your comment on my trip to Scotland. It has given me a bit of confidence to hopefully travel further afield next time. All the best to you Siewch ?

Hawaii
Wow, this was really an interesting read for me, thank you very much for writing and publishing, Siewch. It was interesting to read that life in the time of Covid seemed pretty similar to you in Hawaii as it was to me in London. The daily routines, walks, getting to know the local parks, local people and neighbours, appreciating take-away food, enjoying tourist sites free of tourists, and appreciating the smaller things in life. I can say I had a similar experience here in London. I'm sorry to hear about Jeff's injury and hope he is recuperating well there. And good to read you are also making baby steps into the travelling life again. I feel I am beginning to do the same myself too. All the best to you Siewch ?
