Going for an interview in London | iWonderAroundaWorld
https://iwonderaroundaworld.wordpress.com/2007/10/24/going-for-an-interview-in-london
A journey around a world, wondering and wandering. Going for an interview in London. October 24, 2007. Red bus around Russel Square (taken on a day with substantially better weather! I’ve resigned from my current job. For about a week I’m basking in liberated joy of relief and the anticipation of a new chapter in my career. Oh the possibilities! But I am smug. I’ll find work. Jobs will fly in at me. This was one of those Random People Poachers who call themselves recruitment agencies and take your CV and...

Tube shock | iWonderAroundaWorld
https://iwonderaroundaworld.wordpress.com/2007/07/14/tube-shock
A journey around a world, wondering and wandering. July 14, 2007. The moment of descending into the bowels of London Underground, it is evident that this is no place like home. One learns Tube Etiquette fast. I have no idea what vile power is operating to force even the most obnoxious of our esteemed race to conform, but it is strong and thick. Once in the Tube, the mind screams and pushes against the cultural norms, however the body can all but comply. Rules for Tube Etiquette. Rule 1. Do not talk.

Egypt – a package deal | iWonderAroundaWorld
https://iwonderaroundaworld.wordpress.com/2007/06/24/egypt-a-package-deal
A journey around a world, wondering and wandering. Egypt – a package deal. June 24, 2007. Vicki, me, John and Jason. It was a last minute thing. 220 odd buys five nights in five star resort on the Red Sea in Egypt. All expenses covered – air fares. Transfers. All meals. All drinks – yep ALL drinks. Peer pressure had me. I accepted the deal. When else am I going to get to go to Egypt for five nights all expenses paid for less than what I earn in a week? My first package deal. The next three hours I spend ...

Relentless roosters in Luang Prabang | iWonderAroundaWorld
https://iwonderaroundaworld.wordpress.com/2006/12/30/relentless-roosters-in-luang-prabang
A journey around a world, wondering and wandering. Relentless roosters in Luang Prabang. December 30, 2006. Night Markets at Luang Prabang, Laos. Laos Lay Os. Lay about. Love It. HOT DAMN, we are seeing some pretty speccy stuff over here. We fly from Hanoi straight to Luang Prabang. We are over the bus thing. Air Lao has the worsted safety record in the world. That’s not why we chose it. (Breath out Dad.). Our flight is delayed for 8 hours just because. How do you argue with that? Our flight lands (!

Tubing in Vang Vieng | iWonderAroundaWorld
https://iwonderaroundaworld.wordpress.com/2007/01/01/tubing-in-vang-vieng
A journey around a world, wondering and wandering. Tubing in Vang Vieng. January 1, 2007. Tubing, beer in hand, down the river at Vang Vieng, Laos. Vang Vieng was the site of our new years eve. On arrival I realised I was sick not just from the bus but from another ill fated meal and needed to spend another night on the dunny. Great. As usual, the next day dawns on the most beautiful town in the world. I cant imagine how it got so ferral the day before. You need to stay out of the two main street...We gi...

The Open Tour though Vietnam | iWonderAroundaWorld
https://iwonderaroundaworld.wordpress.com/2006/11/19/bananas-in-vietnam
A journey around a world, wondering and wandering. The Open Tour though Vietnam. November 19, 2006. Searching for Gunner – on a cliff way above De Lat. Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh City. Next stop is VIETNAM and HCMC or Saigon. We get ripped off on our bus ticket, naturally. So excited to do new things – explore the city. But it’s getting dark…. The next day we are still in a frenzy. We go everywhere! We are having a ball! We do Pho Bo on the sidewalk for breakfast and eat from the street stalls. We slowly trave...

Christmas | iWonderAroundaWorld
https://iwonderaroundaworld.wordpress.com/2007/01/02/christmas
A journey around a world, wondering and wandering. January 2, 2007. Water fall somewhere just outside Luang Prabang – only accessible by rather dodgy falling-apart canoe. SO Us Aussies are doing it tough – to say the least! Emergency over (we all knew it was going to be okay) we chug noisily down the pristine river to our destination, where it is imagined we will have an Aussie-style picnic in the sun with swimming and footy and beer. I get ripped off at the entrance for the waterfall fee. Some images ar...
