February 25, 2006Worldnomads—schmomadsThe insurers have denied my claim for the stolen backpack. It isn't so much that which felt like a punch in the stomach (although it is that part which leaves me feel winded), as it's the way in which it...Read this update February 23, 2006Winter in the UKSo it is grey outside, colder than a fridge, there are no leaves on the trees and wet sleet is falling from the sky. So I've had a sore throat since getting back and feel drained of all energy. It's...Read this update February 18, 2006England Culture ShockThe children here are so pale that it gives me a stab to the heart every time I look at them—until I remember that this is normal for England in winter time.

My flight was not due to leave until almost midnight and...Read this update February 12, 2006Angels of Mercy (2) Kao San Road at NightI remember only having a single beer that night. I struggled with it. It didn't feel right. There was a bit of banter. The Moroccon owner of the bar, which comprised just a row of tables and chairs on the...Read this update Angels of Mercy (1) Panic in BangkokThe room at the Sawasdee House was no bigger than a cell. Correction: it was no bigger than a double bed. On several occasions, while rumaging around in it, I had left my bag outside because it barely fitted with...Read this update February 11, 2006Intermission nearly overI haven't blogged much since John got to Bali because writing is a solitary activity and because I could do with a break from it, but I'll be better—promise. Only three days to go before it's back to rainy England...Read this update |
