Where the streets have no name

and no tarmac too I got a lot of taxi in my life. Most of them after dinner, but this is another story (ask my girlfriend about it). Anyway, I also got a lot of crazy taxi driver (craxy driver). I managed to escape an irregular taxi in Mexico City, I was driven around Dublin […]

Saigon Night out

Yesterday I was with some couchsurfers, they brought me to an Italian Vietnamese Vegetarian restaurant, and then we went to a bar for some more beers. The usual night out in Saigon, it seems. Yesterday night I was on my own so I decided to explore and find a decent restaurant for dinner. I would […]

Hoa’s place

Hoa’s place if the kind of place I would like to run if I had a place like this to run. I would put it in the same class of Don Armando in Tulum, and Evaristo in Playa Blanca in Colombia. It is in Danang, just on the China Beach, according to LP the rock’n’roll […]

On trains and bus

Travelling overland in Asia is not joke. You can choose between 5 kinds of train ticket, 6 if you consider the luxury options, but I do not. Soft seats with air conditioning: actually like our new European train, the bus-type one, with no compartments, not fully reclinabled, supposed to be modern and more confortable but […]

Beach Bum

I spent the day at the beach today, getting a strip burnt and looking at the sea from the roof of a bar. I should avoid such moments. They are expensive, emotionally and financially. Cannot live like in a holiday all my life. At least trying to get from A to B looks more like […]

Disappointed

One of the principal reason to make Mongolia was horse riding. Not that I am a good rider, but I like it, and I was eager to learn from people that literally (and literaryly) lives on horse’s saddle. I got my ride at the end, but it was more a Luna Park ride than the […]

Berlin

Berlin is on the list of likely destination for working after this trip. I would prefer to stay in Barcelona, but if the condition are not the ones I want, I am prepared to sell myself to some other country willing to pay me. So it could be Berlin, or London again (me not very […]

Ready Steady Go

Leaving is not always the easy bit of a trip. You will be never sure of everything is right, if something has been going missing during the night (it happens, it is the monaceddhru at work), if you forgot something that has no importance now but that would be disastrous in a few days. In […]

Australia Overland

In 2001 I was living in Colchester, a small town in Essex, a one hour train ride from London and one hour bus ride to Stansted. There was an University and some military training camps. After a few intense months in Dublin, I was lost in the middle of the English countryside. With a job, […]
