Today's travel photo is of some antique furniture inside Pinang Peranakan Mansion in George Town, Malaysia. Pinang Peranakan Mansion was built by Chung Keng Quee, a rich Baba from the local Nonya Culture in Penang, and it is now a museum showcasing some excellent examples of the lifestyle of the rich merchants of the area. The [...]
Today's photo is of a fresh spring roll at a restaurant in Hanoi, Vietnam. When it comes to spring rolls, I think that Vietnam might have the best. This particular spring roll was a fresh, unfried spring roll at a little hole in the wall restaurant in the Old Quarter of Hanoi. I took this [...]
Today's travel photo is a view of the Barranco Valley on Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. We reached this point on day three of the trek along the Machame Route on Mount Kilimanjaro, where we had to climb up to the Lava Tower at 4600 metres, before trekking down into the Barranco Valley to our camp for [...]
Today's travel photo is of the toilet at Wat Rong Khun (The White Temple) near Chiang Rai, Thailand. I'm not one of those weird people that go around taking photos of toilets, but this particular one is probably the fanciest I have ever seen, and I thought it was definitely worth the photo. At first [...]
Today's travel photo is a rooftop view in Riomaggiore, Italy. Riomaggiore is one of the five little villages that make up the beautiful Cinque Terre on the Ligurian Coast of Italy, and was the forth that we visited. I took this photo after arriving by ferry and walking up the hill through the village. From [...]
If you're in Luang Prabang, Laos, and looking for a good day trip outside of town, Kuang Si Waterfall is probably the go to place. You'll no doubt get asked about a hundred times if you want to go and see the waterfall when you're walking along the streets in town, so you definitely won't [...]
Today's travel photo is of some locals fishing along the Esplanade in George Town in Penang, Malaysia. I took this photo after wandering past the old town hall and making my way to the waterfront. A storm was coming in from the sea at the time, but these locals didn't seem too bothered by it. [...]
Today's travel photo is of a typical street corner in Battambang, Cambodia. I loved the old buildings in the centre of this sleepy city. Typically, the shops and businesses are on the bottom level, while the top level is apartments and residences. This particular corner shop seems to advertise both computers and beer, along with [...]
Today's travel photo is of the beautiful Munglinup Beach in Western Australia. This picturesque beach has lovely white sand that runs down to perfect clear water. The reef offshore breaks the incoming waves, making the beach quite sheltered as well. We found Munglinup Beach while travelling along the south coast of Western Australia between Esperance [...]
Today's travel photo is of a bowl of wanton noodle soup in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I got this dish on my very first night in Kuala Lumpur, bought from a hawker stall along Jalan Sultan in Chinatown. The wantons were a delicious mix of pork and shrimp, served with noodles, greens and slices of pork [...]
