Boyd McCleary, Former Governor of the British Virgin Islands

December 1, 2021 by Teh Chin Liang6 Comments

Boyd was the British High Commissioner to Malaysia when I worked as Contact Database Officer at the High Commissioner Kuala Lumpur in 2009. Despite his high- profile status and prominent role, there was never a barrier between him and the rest of the staff.  He is a highly charismatic leader with a fun-loving sense of humor. He always dropped by our office and chatted us up, and the conversation always ended with a good hearty laugh. … [Read more...]

A Whirlwind Week in Hanoi, Hoi An, and Da Nang, Vietnam

September 4, 2021 by Jade NicholsonLeave a Comment

Vietnam was a country I was both excited about and scared of. I was afraid of what its citizens would think of me, having read one too many blog posts about American tourists getting cheated out of their pocket change as a time-delayed revenge move for the American War. I should have known better. For the most part, to most of the people with whom we interacted, our nationality didn’t matter. Our American accents didn’t matter. Neither the … [Read more...]

Dalat, Vietnam, City of Flowers and Fun

April 1, 2021 by Dave3 Comments

We drove up from Mui Ne to Dalat - beginning at the coast with hot and humid temperatures passing by fields of dragon fruit plants. As we drove we began to climb into the mountains, leaving the dragon fruit farms behind, replaced by coffee trees growing on steep hillsides. It is refreshing to be in the mountains with the cleaner air and crystal clear skies. We arrived during the week of Tet, the Vietnamese and Chinese New Year and the city … [Read more...]

Letting it all out at Inle Lake, Myanmar

January 1, 2021 by Dave3 Comments

Stumbling into an outdoor night market after strolling through the dimly lit streets of Nyaungshe we spotted a number of food vendors. One caught our eye - vividly so with the disco ball throwing orbs of bright light in all directions and the nearly blown out speaker playing everything from American folk songs to Myanmar pop songs. Oh and the smells coming from the BBQ including a number of intestinal products, locally caught fish and a variety … [Read more...]
