While in Tokyo we had a few experiences with robots that I would like to share with you, most of these are not necessarily robots in the traditional sense, but more for entertainment.

When we were traveling in China one of our group was kind enough to offer us a place to stay, should we find ourselves in Singapore. Singapore had not initially been on our itinerary, however with such an offer how could we turn it down, after all one of the reasons it was not on … Continue reading Visiting A Man-Made Island
After our interesting week with Fuze Ecoteer we needed some time to relax. We had decided to head to George Town in Penang, which I am very sad to hear has recently had some flash flooding.

We visited before the new wave of tension and this is a post I have been planning to write for a while. The idea behind this blog is basically to show … Continue reading Quirky Korea

So after a few days in Siem Reap we gave in and booked a tuk tuk to take us there, leaving our hotel at 4:30am. As we arrived it was still pitch dark and we both instantly regretted … Continue reading Sunrise? Wat Sunrise?

You may or may not have noticed that I have been falling further and further behind with these blogs. This is basically because I am taking time to enjoy my travels and not spending every free moment blogging. While I realise I am not on a schedule and I am not accountable, I am now … Continue reading Organisational Update
