ahhhhh!!! Lovely!
I'm sitting in the middle of a very soggy NYC looking at your lovely trip. We're both having wet days, but your view is better than my hotel window has.

Thanks so much
for your interestingly written accounts of your journey. I love your style and can picture what's happening in each place. Having just returned from Myanmar I particularly enjoy the places I did not get to, Sittwe is one. Wishing you further fascinating travels.

Good to read, typically British humour - though as I will be doing the same travel, I would have appreciated precise details ...

where to go
Since you seem to be in Myanmar, I have to let you know, that going to Mrauk-U at the coast is one of my favorites in Myanmar, and to me a-must-visit for the adventurous traveller. And from there organize a trip up the river to the Chin People - Their villages are rarely visited but definitely worth all the hours of transport to get there - hopefully it is still possible despite the recent political situation in the country) Just a piece of advice from a former travel companion (Namibia - Northern loop with Wild Dogs)

Just finished the Pamirs
We didn't go to Afghanistan but loved Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. As you say the words are tough to come by. An amazing trip. I enjoyed reading your impressions. MJ

strings of paper cranes at the Children's Peace Monument

Peace, peace, peace
Your excellent account of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum moved me to tears. As the museum focused on the unfolding horror of that day and on individuals, so did you, which allowed me to feel it and them too. How forgiving of the people of Hiroshima to declare their city one of eternal world peace rather than blaming the perpetrators of the destruction, for grudges lead only to bitterness and not to healing. Brilliant that the G7 conference will be held there, so that, as you said, the leaders can be faced with the reality of nuclear war. Very moving blog!

A slice of paradise!
How fortunate to be in a normally dry outback station at such a lush time! Birds, fish, roos, friends and grand adventure--I should think this will tide you over during London city escapades. Fab photos!

don't think we'll be crossing here...

Bridge problems
I crossed this same bridge by foot during a day of hiking back in late May 2013. However, it looks a lot worse in your photo! This is an absolutely outstanding blog - worthy of more than one entry. Glad you loved the Wakhan Corridor as much as I did. It is the hardest and most difficult place I've travelled, but despite this, it is one of my favourite places on earth.

pleased with his play

Good reason to be pleased
The Afghan Pamirs...truly a dream destination. Great to know there are groups that can get you there and to trek/drive through there safely. Fantastic blog and must be a record for the number of panorama pics. May your memories of this trip be clear forever.

Wakhi ladies in Khunded

Unique adventure!
I'd first read of the Pamirs in "Three Cups of Tea" and have been curious about it ever since. Good to see that there's some tourism to help these isolated nomads, and that it's properly rugged to keep out the masses. How great to have gone where so few others have dared! Great photos, and I love the gorgeous outfits on these women!

Just to correct the misunderstanding
Hi. I was just cruising and found a misunderstanding. The picture with the dog with a title "unappetising menu sign" The Korean writing in the picture is actually saying "We're selling Dog food". Not Dog as a food! They are selling food for dogs. I understand the person's English mistake tough.
