This time I’m in Bangkok,
The view from the top of the world or maybe just the Banyan Tree Hotel
Temples are a plenty in Bangkok.
Cooking street style in Bangkok.

I can’t go by crabs for dinner.

Old vs New. McDonalds Japan next to classic Japanese wooden house.
The games rooms are filled with noise like a nightclub at 3am keeping everyone awake. I have no idea what they are playing or how but it has them mesmerized
Vietnam Ha Long Bay
HaLong Bay
I hope you enjoy these images from Ha Long Bay in Vietnam
With mountains that jut out of the water, this world heritage listed area is incredible.
Life on the water for kids is tough, no sports fields to kick a footy around.
Fishing out at almost worlds end, where the mist and water blend to one.
Sailing into Ha Long Bay was an experience you remember with the mountains jutting out of the water and the eerie feeling with the fog making everything jump out at you at the last minut.
Thanks to the guys from Halong Glory Cruises for a great stay.
China Shanghai and Beijing
China
China was another amazing place, with my first visit and a quiet a number of other firsts.
First time in Shanghai, Beijing, on the great wall of china, on a bullet train traveling over 300km/h, eating in a vegan restaurant, eating a meal of just duck necks among other things.
With some incredible food, and stark contrasts between modern and old china.
This place is well worth a visit but as a tourist there are people constantly trying to scam you. so beware.
Shanghai
The Bund night scape
The Shanghai waterfront is like any modern city, full of skyscrapers and
The view from the bund on the waterfront area on the Huangpu River
The city skyline is filled with sky scrapers after sky scrapers.
In the hotel I was staying in they had a seafood buffet, which was incredible, with such a wide variety of food that i had never had before. But when in Rome.

Beijing
Imperial Palace Bejing
Beijing is more like an old school city, still developing with lots of old traditional buildings and houses.
The Forbidden City / Imperial Palace in Beijing
The Forbidden City is an incredible place in the center of Beijing. With incredible buildings and artifacts. Definitely worth spending a day there.
Imperial Palace Bejing roof tops
Incredible road networks wtth fun parks
Shanghai to Beijing Train – Beijing to Shanghai Train
Cities being built along the shanghai to beijing train line
300 plus km/h on the train between Shanghai and Beijing
The Chinese bullet train was a great way to get between Shanghai and Beijing. It takes a little longer than the plane, but you get to see so much more, it is about a 5 1/2 hour journey that is very comfortable and quiet.
Vietnam Hanoi
Well I’ve been on the road a lot with work lately and have been a bit slack updating my website. So I thought I’d better try and get back on top of things.
I was recently on a trip to Hanoi in Vietnam.
Vietnam is an amazing place. It’s the type of chaos that reminds you of the good old days when you were a kid. Where you didn’t have cops book you for jay walking across the road, because back then you were smarter than a light globe, or council stopping you from having your own lemonade stand out the front of your house for fear that someone might get an upset stomach.
The markets are amazing in what you can get, from dried fish to all kinds of fruit and vegetables
Dried salted fish at the markets
Fruit and vegetable steet markets
BBQ dog Hanoi Vietnam
Have you ever tried BBQ Dog? Maybe Barbeque Dog is more on your menu but it wasn’t on mine that day.
Sometimes a ladder is a ladder, othertimes work place saftey maybe not high on the priority list.
Red Lanterns
Red Lanterns line the streets and temples in similar ways to the chinese red lanterns..
