Maximobo: October 2012
http://www.maximobo.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 16, 2012. Out of the office. The blog has been neglected the past weeks because I have a new project (i.e fatherhood): http:/ www.thecrevette.blogspot.com. The birth of my new son has led to a new blog that hopefully will not embarrass my son too much once he is at high school (assuming that blogs still exist in 11 years time).

Maximobo: Yangon Days: Back to the Future
http://www.maximobo.com/2012/08/yangon-days-back-to-future.html
Sunday, August 26, 2012. Yangon Days: Back to the Future. When I was 15 I was given a bicycle for my birthday (how original! I rode on it everywhere, and mastered the art of not falling off whilst drunk (which I used as recently as yesterday). And SPDs, though it was frankly a waste of time in suburban Manchester when noone cared about cycling in the UK and I kept on falling over at traffic lights). It's so beautiful that you could even get a tattoo of it on your leg. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Saturday, April 17, 2010. Travelling in. India: Delhi. It's not even air-conditioned. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Travelling in. India: Delhi. It was inevitable that I would like Delhi, as its not Dhaka. One of the advantages of living in the 2nd worst city in the world is that. Travelling in. Myanmar: Shwedagon's 2600 Birthday Party. In a lot of countries I’ve visited, the principal religious site celebrating its 2600 birthday would be accompanied by a special celebrati. Since 2001 I’ve li...

Maximobo: August 2012
http://www.maximobo.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 28, 2012. Pause and Rewind: Scared of What? One common question throughout the pregnancy has been: aren't you scared? The answer has evolved over the 35 weeks that we've experienced so far, and can be broken down most simply into: yes (up to 12 weeks), no (13 - 26 weeks), I want to go on holiday (27 weeks), when is it coming (31 - 35 weeks), yes (now). Of course I am scared. Things that I have worried about have included:. The baby will be beautiful, so that is not a worry. The day after ...

Maximobo: Travelling in... Myanmar: Ngapali Beach
http://www.maximobo.com/2011/12/travelling-in-myanmar-ngapali-beach.html
Tuesday, December 13, 2011. Travelling in. Myanmar: Ngapali Beach. My issue with the Bay of Bengal is that it is basically the emptying point for water that started out pristine in the Himalayas, but has since descended through some of the dirtiest countries and cities in the world. Living in Dhaka and smelling the sulphuric wretchedness of the Buriganga (don’t worry, it goes away in the monsoon), or seeing the body disposal that takes place in the Ganges in Varanasi. Ngapali Beach in Myanmar changed all...

Maximobo: Travelling in... Nepal: Hiking the AC over 4000m
http://www.maximobo.com/2010/12/travelling-in-nepal-hiking-ac-over.html
Tuesday, December 14, 2010. Travelling in. Nepal: Hiking the AC over 4000m. The trek took me to a higher altitude than I had previously been (Mount Toubkal at 4,167m) on three separate occasions. After all the concerns, the altitude itself wasn't such a problem, but each time we went higher it got colder before dropping below freezing, although the sky then took on the most incredible shades of blue. And I got to celebrate my first ever US Thanksgiving dinner. Day 6: Manang - Ice Lake. It was inevitable ...

Monday, September 17, 2012. Pause and Rewind: Gross. I would not consider myself squeamish. But having my wife's doctor several times over her pregnancy, there is one picture on the wall which is very unsettling. Every time she goes behind the curtain for a five minute physical examination, I'm left alone staring at the following. I have no idea why it is there? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Maximobo: Travelling in... Myanmar: Chin State
http://www.maximobo.com/2012/04/travelling-in-myanmar-chin-state.html
Thursday, April 5, 2012. Travelling in. Myanmar: Chin State. Getting in to Chin State (officially the poorest part of Myanmar) is notoriously difficult: the relevant permission for a three-day visit can take up to a month process. When you look on the country map, there are no main roads heading there. The other option is to just make a day trip from Mwrauk Ou in Rakhaine up the Lemro river the principal reason being to see the village women with tattooed faces. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
