Sounds just like an old cash register!!
Amazing place!
Such a nice little town compared to the other places i’ve been. Sadly, most of the towns in Borneo are pretty ugly concrete havens, while Kuching is quite nice. The waterfront, that runs along the river, has a nice promenade with gardens etc, and all the buildings have [...]
It’s not often…infact it’s never happened before!…that i ask you gracious readers to dig into those pockets. However, my friend Elly is helping to organise a fundraising event in Cambodia for the Kompong Thom Orphanage.
The orphanage currently looks after 117 children, where every day is a struggle. Luckily, however, there is a young graduate teacher [...]
After hearing many times from folk in Singapore, and other backpackers, that Brunei is a bit boring…i was a little skeptical about going there. However, i wanted to see the country…home to the world’s richest man (not anymore!) and check it out for myself.
I guess a town or an area is a bit like a [...]
Google Press Day (10th May) has seen a host of new features being added to their current line up, and a promise that their focus is still on search. In recent studies of Google, i had been worried that they were diversifying too much and that they did not have a clear focus for competitive [...]
Just been having a natter with the honourable Mr Heron on MSN…and he inspired me to check out the specs of Nintendo’s latest offering - the Wii (new window). Renamed from the Revolution…it offers some pretty nice new touches to the gaming industry.
It’s main feature is the new controller (new window). A wireless remote control [...]
Sorry guys - it’s a 10mb video as it’s quite long…but worth the wait!!
I’m back in KK after trying to make my way to Brunei today! I was off to a little town to see the memorial erected for my Great Uncle and the 4 others he was with when they were shot during the war, and hoped i could go onto Brunei from there.
I found the memorial [...]

So far i’ve had a pretty busy schedule on Borneo! I arrived and spent the first day going around KK’s cemetaries, a night bus across the island that night, two days diving, and another night bus to Taman Kinabalu - the site of the tallest mountain in SE Asia - Mount Kinabalu.
Arriving at 4am, [...]
Thankfully there was only Sipadaning today and no gulping in the tasty sea water!
Just back from my first day diving at the legendary island of Sipidan…and despite getting practically no sleep last night due to the lovely night bus, i am feeling good.
It was absolutely amazing! On our first dive i literally didn’t know [...]
