The last time I was in Phnom penh was back in 1998 when I was travelling with Ch my friends Chris and Danny on my first backpacking trip. When we got into town we were under orders to report in at the British embassy; which was located a few blocks out of town on an …
I’ve got a little behind reporting my European trip, so thought I’d finish it up quickly as there have been a few things I’d like to have blogged about recently such as: The only Palin that should go near the white house is Michael (given that he didn’t leave his country for the first time …
I got a super little train into Serbia, it was pretty expensive though at well over a pound. As we approached the border, the customs people got on, went through all my stuff (not very thoroughly) and stamped my passport. This was strange as up to now I had not even shown my passport never …

I’m currently in Istanbul (leave tomorrow evening to Denizli). It’s a real cool city, East meets west and all of that. I strolled down from the Bazaar area towards the blue mosque at about noon. Near to me, the mosques seem to be just a couple of hundred metres apart. As I walked I was …
I had a great time in Sweden, where I stayed with my friends Anna (who I used to work with in Germany), and her new husband Ben. They live on an island that’s part of Stockholm, about an hour away from the centre by ferry and bus. Their house is a really nice wooden house …
