Back where it all started.

Brain is still distinctly average. Try better next time and all that jazz.

The ceiling of the World.

The altitude was around ~5100m.

This was my guide, Riga.

It’s never just an S bend — it’s someone cutting the corner

It’s never just a slow truck — it’s someone trying to overtake

It’s never just a bus stopping — it’s someone getting off

Yep, my poetry needs some work.

I was around 3 hours in to the drive from Manali to Chandigarh. It’s a mountainous drive at the bottom of the Western Himalayas and for the most part, the roads are pretty good. Plenty of bends, but wide enough and good visibility.

Stealing Time for My Own Mind

Dhamma Setu, Chennai — India

“All of humanity’s problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in room alone,”

— Blaise Pascal.

My step mum thought I was going to rehabilitation, my friends thought I was on a fast-track to becoming a monk, and I was only half sure what to expect when I enrolled for a 10 day Vipassana meditation course in Chennai, India.

On and off and with mixed success I’ve been meditating for the last 3 years.

How young are you?

For the last few days I’ve been hanging with Andreas from Sweden. This is a photo of him pulling a silly face.

He is a big, kind, larger than life character. He plays the guitar, takes jaw-dropping photos and wears a Batman cap.

Obama Noodles

Trekked over to the other side of Hanoi to Bún chả Hương Liên — where Obama and Joe Biden came for Bún Chả (noodles, greens and bbq pork strips in a f-u-c-k-i-n-g sensational soup).

The lady pictured top left came to sit opposite me.

Tom & Tom in Koh Rong

📋🏃🏽 written on the move, typos and all

I just got back from Koh Rong – an island off of the south west coast of Cambodia - and I’m en route to Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia.

It’s comical how far some of the coach drivers stretch the definition of a direct journey.

About 4 hours in and we’ve been picking up and dropping off random people at random places. Clearly the driver is sticking some $$ in his arse pocket and taking us all on a detour.

Portugal

Had a wonderful time in the Algarve, Portugal. We hired a car for most of our stay and travelled right along the south coast. Check out the full Flickr Set ›

If you ever visit, make sure you check out Silves Castle. It was - by far - the most ethereal place I’ve been.
