Kolkata - an addendum
Thursday, November 30th, 2006

So, I checked my guide book, and I’m staying in one of the poorest areas of this “fair” city.
On the outskirts, there is new development I was reading in the paper about new condo’s coming up and the development of IT parks on the edge of town.
So, maybe… just maybe… there is more than hope […]

Kolkata

Hello, and greetings from frenetic India.
Like most things in this country (from my wide breadth of experience (one and three quarter days)) the keyboard doesn’t work quite right. It works, but it’s not quite as responsive as one would think and it makes touch typing a drag. I find it mildly irritating; however I don’t […]

India bound
Sunday, November 26th, 2006

Well, I have to leave Asia. Well, I don’t have to but I have this plane ticket and it’s easier if I just follow the plan.
So - that’s it…. Asia is done already, and tomorrow at 4PM my time it’s off to India. I’ve been told that Internet access isn’t as plentiful as it is in […]

A google maps tour of Angkor

Well, it’s no surprise that I’m in Koh Tao to SCUBA dive. Since Belize, SCUBA has been a passion of mine which I rarely get to indulge. I am disappointed as the normally crystal clear blue waters off Koh Tao, have become green, and cloudy. I’ve heard a number of explanations including;

Koh Phangan

I went to a full moon party, and stayed up till sunset!
It’s like Wild-On!
I now understand what the saying “Tourism; is it’s own form of pollution”
Peace and Love,

Escape from Chiang Mai.
Thursday, November 2nd, 2006

Well the time has come, the time is now, Errol Tyler Barrie will leave ChiangMai now.
It’s with a heavy heart that I will be leaving Chiang Mai. This place has been wonderful, between here and Lao - this has been a positive break from the frenetic Asian cities(few aggressive buskers, not too many people looking to take […]
