Cameronian

Cameron Highlands was…well…really cool! The scenery was sssoo nice! Unfortunately the pictures just don’t do it justice. I stayed there for 3 nights and had a really cool time. Duncan and his mum (guys i met on Perhentian) were there, the infamous 4 Swedish Slackpackers United were there, and i met [...]

Viral Menacingitis

Rather stupidly, Fergus mananged to put a virus on his lovely laptop yesterday! I spent a few hours trying to sort it, but it wouldn’t let me do anything on my computer - eventually opting to go to the IT support centre to see if they had a boot disk with a virus scanner.
Good news [...]

Web 2.0

I’ve been hearing and reading the term web 2.0 a lot recently, and have wondered every time i’ve read it…what web 2.0 actually is. Alas, wikipedia had the answers. (new window)
Basically, web 2.0 is a catchphrase name given to any new internet based ideas or changes. It’s the internet utilised to bring users a better [...]

Photos Galore

I reckon…that no matter how good you are at taking photos, someone elses are always better…even if you both take pictures of the same thing. I think this is because, seeing someone else’s photos, is looking at what you both saw…through their eyes - so you inevitably see it in a different way.

Slackpacker - backpackers that travel around…but do nothing! Don’t really do the culture bit, just kinda lie around, drink beer and relax most of the time! Commonly heard saying [...]

Insurance

A little slip yesterday…will be explained shortly…left me thinking that a nearly broken arm, and broken camera means i should probably get some insurance! If anyone knows good backpacker travel insurance that will cover me (even though i’m not leaving from the UK - crucial bit) please let me know…
Time for a rant. Asia seems [...]

Jungle Boogie

What a day i had yesterday! I reckon i walked between 15 and 17km through thick jungle! I walked along a 500m rope bridge 50m in the air (that’s like walking the length of a football pitch 20 stories up)…with nothing but trees to break my fall! I clambered through a 30m cave with about [...]

Birthday Bess

Well, i didn’t quite make it to the Cameron Highlands! The jungle train was quite cool, but i fell asleep for a little while…err…like a few hours or so!…so may have missed the best bits!
I ended up at the end of the line, in a tiny little town, with no buses, and taxis telling me [...]
