S-21 and Killing Fields || Phnom Penh, Cambodia

A lot of people will come to Phnom Penh with a visit to the Toul Sleng Genocide Museum (also called S-21) and the Choeung Ek Killing Fields on the top of their itineraries. As I explored Phnom Penh more, this is really the only thing Phnom Penh has to offer, apart from the occasional museums and landmarks if you have an interested in them. 

My Favourite Day - With Mandalao Tours || Laos

WARNING: Expect lots of cute elephants photos in this post! 

I came to South East Asia in the hope of spending at least part of my journey with elephants. I am very anti-riding elephants. In 2004 my family and I went to Thailand where I road an elephant. Obviously at that age I was unaware as to how badly they treat those domesticated elephants. Now that I am a little more educated in the subject, I am completely against elephant tourism.

3 Day Guide for Luang Prabang || Laos

Being the capital of Laos, Luang Prabang has a lot to offer; from day treks across the mountains visiting local villages to a day out with the elephants or a relaxing cruise down the Mekong River. Luang Prabang is a perfect place for a backpacker's quick stop-off or a luxury, relaxing holiday for the family.

Laos - A Temple Heaven

An early and breezy start to the day, I walked around the town strolling in and out of temples as they are everywhere, and I mean everywhere; I went past 4 within 5 minutes.

Places we Visited in Taiwan

This last week has been very strange for me as I keep remembering different places, shops and even houses. On the bus route down from the mountain, we would always go past the first house my family had in Taiwan. I have loved every second of exploring Taiwan again, and would definitely come back, maybe even move back!

An Insight to Hanoi, Vietnam

Arriving into Hanoi it was dark and very foggy. This fog has continued to appear during my stay and I am beginning to realise that it is the pollution. Compared to Shanghai, it is quite a shock. I haven't looked at the pollution stats but just walking around the old quarter, you find yourself coughing more than usual and breathing in all these unusual chemicals. It doesn't surprise me the pollution is bad as there are street fires going off randomly, rubbish all over the street, and many motorbikes/cars driving around endlessly.
