December 5, 2024 by aye_thuraLeave a Comment

This blog will follow my chaotic trip from Bangkok to Phnom Penh, along with some advice and tricks. I was informed that I could not extend my visa anymore, only a night … [Read more...]

Q. In 2006, you began a round-the-world bicycle trip called 'Ride Earth,' an epic challenge you had never attempted before. What is it about seeing the world with a bicycle that excites you, and can you describe what the first few weeks of your journey were like? It was the promise of freedom that first drew me to bicycle travel. I’m sure that’s a common motive among travelers but doing it under pedal power really elevated the sense of … [Read more...]

October 24, 2022 by Zander Jean AdonisLeave a Comment

Traveling to Asia is a pleasure for most mortals. We prepare a trip conscientiously, believing that we have not left any loose ends: tickets, itinerary, accommodations, or visits, convinced that with such planning, our journey will be a success. However, sometimes we overlook some minor issues, apparently unimportant details, which, on the other hand, can cause us some surprises or headaches. They are these strange laws that prevail in some … [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...]

Visiting Bagan, Myanmar

July 15, 2019 by Dave21 Comments

Bagan is the land of ancient temples - these stone spires dot the dusty landscape of what is called the Bagan Plains. We are visiting in the middle of winter, yet the temperatures are very warm during the day and pleasant at night; apparently rain has not fallen here for weeks. Coming from Inle Lake, some 6 hours away by bus we were startled by the dramatic difference in landscape. Inle Lake has plenty of water - in fact villages are built above … [Read more...]
