Shit, Lust and a Million Miles of Mirror… Burmese Days – Part Three
Day 17 Asleep at eight and awake at five, ready and waiting for the sun to rise. I feel totally elated by what i have captured with my camera.Over fifty truly beautiful shots, the black & white almost making me high. Strolling long paths in hundreds of meters of water, full of lotus pink and sprouting up all around. Pagodas…

Burmese Days – Part Two
Day 11 After getting drunk yesterday i paid for it today. Vomiting my spicy noodle soup mixed with pseudo Fanta five minutes after breakfast. Noodles still hanging from my throat whilst others were leaving. What a waste of a dollar. Walking through beautiful countryside, through fields along the river bank, towards the hot springs amongst the hills. Women bathing in the water, washing clothes, foraging…

Burmese Days – Part One
Day 1 So i arrive in Yangon after a three-hour flight from KL. Burma is finally here or rather i am. The first visual to hit me is that it is not dis-similar to India. After finding a guest house the next search was for vegetarian food. Checking out street stalls, trying to ask, being pointed to…

Backpacking Is Never Going To Win Me A Style Award
KL LCCT Airport – 3/11/2011. So i am about to migrate out of Malaysia for the day. I have had a Zantac and feel rather floaty, rather tired, like i want to sleep – never a possibility on an upright metal airport chair. Kuala Lumpur was fine. Amazing food, friendly people and an impressive public…

Beautiful beaches, driving around the island, dipping into five-star pools and spending time with great people, until yesterday when i met a slighty strange Chinese man who invited me to a party. In his words this “party” was to be himself, his friends, food and conversation. I…

The Case of The Lost Accordion
Penang has a vintage feel. One of worlds gone by and a lingering history which is absorbing. Ono, who runs a shop of curiosities invited me to a jamming session a local art gallery and provided me with an instrument from the 1970’s. Clad in a green plastic case – a keyboard with a tube…

The Man From Iran in Pulau Penang
Eyebrows that meet in the middle above the most beautiful kind eyes. A bum bag sitting front side up on a slightly too long blue shirt, with a slogan which passes me, out of focus. A man who treats cancer patients in Bangladesh. Something below the brow makes me shake to the point where i…

Broken Day
Little rhythmical bells and chimes twinkling in my ears. Tears hide in the back of my eyes, chugging down the track from Bangkok. Fields of cotton swaying in the breeze from side to side; or is that just me? palms stretching through the bright blue sky – sunbound. Green so vividly green it’s almost yellow.…
