My Myanmar Travel Blog is online!
I’m happy to announce that my blog from my recent trip to Myanmar (aka Burma) with short stops either side in Thailand and Hong Kong is finally online after some delays. As explained on this site I write up my blog in note format and then take time to write […]
Thoughts from Myanmar
Now that I’ve been back in the UK for a few days, and have started re-adjusting to UK time, I’ve had a chance to reflect on my trip to Myanmar. I had wanted to visit Myanmar, also known as Burma, for a while. There are a few things that drew […]
Charlie : Hong Kong
Charlie has just returned to The UK after our trip to south east Asia, for a sailing trip around southern Myanmar with a few days in Thailand either side and an overnight layover in Hong Kong. Hong Kong was an experience to visit, especially in contrast to how quiet and […]
